April 29 Tech Tip - Military Power Point Less

Hi All!

Bud Freund, your BNI Tech Guy.

Today's tip could not be invented.

Coming from Tuesday's New York Times, the following phrases were extracted to describe  military PowerPoint presentations:

“When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war,”

“PowerPoint makes us stupid,”

“I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,”

“death by PowerPoint,”

“just agony,”

And my favorite. . .

“hypnotizing chickens.”

If you'd rather hit your thumb with a hammer than watch that co-worker's PowerPoint, send them to me, Bud Freund, your BNI Tech Guy. Number 7 on your list.

April 22 Tech Tip - Don't Lose Your OiPhone

Hello All!

I'm Bud Freund, your BNI Tech Guy.

Today's tip is really just common sense.

If you go drinking after work, and  show off your new cell phone, don't leave it behind.

Especially - as reported in The New York Times - if you're a technician working on the prototype of the next generation iPhone.

Yes it's true, the ninny left it at a bar in Redwood City and now photos are all over the internet.

If you know a small business looking for a designated driver for their technology, please send them to me, Bud Freund, your BNI Tech Guy, number 7 on your list.

Oh and Rich, Julie, I may have a lead for you on a not-so-hot-shot technician looking for work.

April 1 Tech Tip - Oi mail

Hello All!

I'm Bud Freund, your BNI Tech Guy.

Today's tip is for those getting frustrated with email.

As of yesterday, anyone with an ATT Worldnet email address was shut down because ATT turned off the Worldnet email server.

Dumping ATT and getting a Gmail or Yahoo account will allow you to keep that email address - something like budlyapi@gmail.com - forever.

Then you can switch internet providers whenever you get tired of giving that irritating organization your money every month.

If you know a small business owner getting overwhelmed with email, please send them to me. . .

Budly, your BNI Tech Guy.

Number 7 on that roster you deleted from your inbox.
