I know, I know. Undoubtedly, I’m gonna receive several messages from Droid users and people who literally HATE Apple. That’s quite alright. To prevent the riots and boycotts, we’ll be sure to share a post on Droid devices and some cool utilities available to those phones. I openly admit that, as an Apple phone consumer […]
Here in Texas, especially in the summer, if you’re gonna mow your own lawn, it’s best to do it early in the morning or late afternoon when it cools down.
