Kindle Fire For the last month or so I have been messing around with my sons’ Kindle Fires (I have three monsters in my house plus my little girl who is an angel). What I have realized is there are many processes that you need to know. One of these processes is how to clear […]

Retro Games Searching for your Childhood The other day, my wife asked me the name of a game she remembered from her childhood. She had been searching for it but had been unsuccessful so far. She thought it was a game from 1980’s or 1990’s and was for a PC (she didn’t have a console). […]
What Is A Cache? Here is something I think is important as an owner of an Android phone. What is this important something? I love that you are paying attention. The important “something” would be finding out where the place is on your phone that you can clear the cache. I guess the first thing […]
