  ReCORK is a wine cork recycling program. They use the recycled corks to create shoes and other apparel.   Every now and again, I like to blog about something completely different than technology. So, I name this section of TechKnow, "TABBED". Since working with the Wine Society I have learned a lot about the Wine and Spirits industry. It's actually pretty interesting and

Microsoft Courier Tablet PC(Click below to watch video) In late 2009, after a "slip of the tounge" on a job posting site that will remain anonymous, the world knew that the Microsoft Courier, Microsoft's response to the iPad, WILL be on the market.

This year, I decided to start blogging in April, purposely AFTER the iPad and 3D displays from Sharp were out on the market.  In between December 2009 and now, not one technology has intrigued the Tech.  So, with that said (typed), I think I will start in on the iPad, the newest "crack" that Apple has provided.

Every now and then I get excited about an invention. The Dyson Air Multiplier is fascinating to me and I decided it's blogworthy.    Imagine, it's 100 degrees, it's the middle of July and the AC is out. What's the first relief you'd seek?A fan. Usually the fan provides less than accommodating relief and ultimately you end up taking a cold shower or bumming AC from someone else. If

ILounge, an iPod and iPhone blog, claims Apple plans to announce a tablet by Jan. 19, 2010.
