I had one of those “once in a lifetime” trips this week when I went to New York City for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 2010 Inception Ceremony. This year being the 25th inception ceremony made it even more special.

Although you never seem to have enough time while there, visiting various sites around New York, such as Grand Central Station and Times Square, were as great as you’d expect. I look forward to visiting again to see more, though I doubt I’ll ever see “everything” the city has to offer.

With the wide availability of inexpensive HD camcorders, it’s quickly becoming a world where a little time and some creativity can really unleash your inner director.

Laptop Magazine reviewed three remote support options in a tech support showdown between Geek Squad Remote Support, iYogi and Support.com.

SPOILER ALERT – Geek Squad Remote Support came out on top:

Based on our experience, we strongly recommend Geek Squad’s tech support services. The agents were courteous, friendly, and efficient, and we were not charged for our two troubleshooting issues.

Continuing my recent round of local trips to area attractions, I stopped into the the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, located in University Circle, here in Cleveland, Ohio.
