Just requested my second round of print seed catalogs. Here is what I sent off for:
And then I got an Apple TV
A week ago I went out and bought an Apple TV. (If you are unfamiliar with this item, here is a good review of Apple TV with a little of its history.) I have been getting around to buying one

1st Gen iPod Nano Recall Process
About six weeks ago, I was reading the MacRumors website and found an article about the Apple recall of the first generation Nanos. The article explained that Apple was recalling first generation Nanos due to a battery issue. My wife and I each had Nanos a few years back, but I was unsure if they were first generation and eligible.
Seed and Plant Catalogs
On the train ride home from work last night I noticed that one my friends had a Burpee seed catalog with him.

Have you heard about Square?
Today I read a TechCrunch article entitled, “Square Now Processing $1 Million in Mobile Payments per Day.” My first thought after reading the article was to wonder why Square is not looking at daily numbers greatly exceeding $1 Million. If you are a small business (doing anything but retail) with a iPhone, iPad or Android device you should have a Square account.
