Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge

Hey, here’s a quick list of my current favourite iPhone and iPad apps (at this writing – 4/9/2010). I think I have the prices right for them, but taking those from memory. Except for TalkingCarl, these aren’t in any particular order. I have lots installed, including some really popular ones, but a lot I find, …

We spent a little time this week putting together a list of what we believe are the benefits customers get, working with itgroove. You’ll notice we didn’t put things like we’re wicked smart” or “we’re great haxors”. We tried to compile a list of value we provide to a customer, based on our approach to …

I used to say I was a drummer first and a technology guy second, but who am I kidding? I play probably 8-10 times a year and practice only when the band does, which is only slightly more than we actually gig … so I’m not improving, I’m just in maintenance mode. So, l guess …

A customer asked me to summarize my approach to helping people find my business (www.itgroove.net) online.   I used to do a fair amount of print advertising to build ‘brand’. But it was extremely expensive and had a short shelf life (before it hit the recycle bin). So, over the years, I’ve been bulking up …

I get asked enough, I figured I better tell the story (actually I did elsewhere, so I’m being lazy and just copying and pasting the details here).   Well, I got a tattoo the other day (Friday, July 11, 2008).  As I’m sure anyone will tell you, it is a personal experience and so I …

Stumbled across this today via Google Images and I couldn’t resist posting it on here. One frustration I have (like many others) is the insistence with many customers (particularly in SMB) who buy technology before mapping out what they are trying to accomplish. Often, we, as an IT service company are left trying to piece …

This is an old post that I’m refreshing as I noticed it was appearing in search results (but on my old blog, I got TONNES of people saying this helped them, so I’m hoping to do that again by bumping this to the top…)   Ok, this one took a while to sort out and …

Darren turned me on to this site today. Pretty cool, easy to use and easy to determine how much UPS plans to rip me off when a vendor insists on using them for providing shipping to Canada (sometimes their shipping/duty fees are more than the item being shipped for crying out loud – I don’t …

Someone asked this on Experts Exchange today, so I posted my 2 bits. As someone who daily runs into a ‘gosh, that’s weird or new’ in technology, I find this simple but effective technical troubleshooting/research technique very useful. As simple as my comments might be, if you aren’t doing this ‘method’ when googling/investigating errors, etc. …

Here’s a listing of (no, I’m not ranting about how much I love SharePoint in this post, though I might reference it here and there) 3rd party tools that I use constantly and a brief summary of how I use it (I’m not listing the complete listing of features of each, that is what their …
