Tech Review: Mikegyver 12v MacBook Power Supplies
One particular frustration that has vexed me for over three years now is that there is no “official” way to power any MagSafe-equipped Apple laptops directly off of 12v power.
But there is an alternative…
Mike Lee of MikeGyver.com has made a business of taking genuine Apple MagSafe tips, and splicing them onto 12v compatible power supplies…
Campground Review: McKinney Falls State Park (near Austin, TX)
Cherie grew up in Austin, and her brother and his wife live there today. It is a cool town, and a place we will want to return to often in our travels. Camping near a major urban area is always a challenge, but in McKinney Falls State Park we have discovered a great place to […]

Blog Upgrade: Subscribe To Comments
One of the things that I have always loved about blogging on LiveJournal is that it lets you know via email when someone has replied to any comments or blog posts that you make. This email notification encourages blog postings to turn into actual two-way (or three-way, or more-way) conversations in a way that other blogging platforms have never equalled.
In an attempt to bring some of this sort of interactivity to Tales from Technomadia, I have just installed and configured the Subscribe to Comments WordPress plugin.
Campground Review: Thornhill Broome Beach Campground
This campground offers parallel style parking for RVs and/or tent camping right along Route 1, and right along the beach. There are no hook-ups, so RVers should come prepared with a full battery and water tanks (although, there is fresh water available). Sheltered porta-potties are provided. The camping fee was just $15/night, and for us – it was a perfect way to spend sometime along the ocean.
