Enter the Blog

Hello and welcome to the Geek Easy blog. I’m sure by now you’ve likely heard the buzzing about blogs, but just in case – let’s review. A blog – or web log – is an online collection of materials, often written or containing images and video. Blogs and blog posts for virtually any interest you might have from computers to botany to interstellar travel are available right now. Blogs are a decentralized source of information that can be much better tailored to a web user’s specific interests, and they are a key component in the modern Internet experience.

So now you may be asking, why does a computer repair shop need a blog? As computer technicians, we are in the trenches daily fighting the war against misbehaving and broken computers. We get to see what troubles people like yourself are having most frequently and can provide helpful information that you can use at home. If there is a problem with the latest version of a popular piece of software that causes blue screens, program crashing or typhoid outbreaks, we’re going to know about it quickly. The Geek Easy blog can warn you about such dangers straight from the people likely to see them first.

But beyond current problems, hassles and snags, there’s also a lot of advice we can offer on the proper maintenance and care of your computers. Believe it or not, laptops don’t like the taste of hot cocoa, but ‘tis the season for hot liquid spills and one should always use care when computing with cocoa. We can dispense these little tips here and there to help you have the best computing experience possible.

There’s also nothing sexier than some hot, new gadget flaunting its way across store shelves, and we, as geeks, love to ogle new bits of techno-pornography. We can weigh in on various new peripherals, hardware and software to keep you up to date with the geek perspective on things. Let me tell you, we spend a good part of our day reading spec sheets, reviews and feature lists. We can translate all the jargon into plain, easy-to-read English (and Klingon where applicable*).

Finally – the blog also allows an easy way to inform our home users about specials we might be running here in the shop or new services we’re offering. By keeping up with the Geek Easy blog, you will always know exactly what it is we’re up to here in the shop. Altogether, we felt like a blog would be a positive addition to the Geek Easy website, and we hope in the coming weeks that you agree. Bear with us as the new website reaches its completion stages, and sign up for our handy email newsletter if you’d like to know when new blog posts become available. We’ll be offering special deals and treats through the newsletter as well as giving away a neat prize to one of our email subscribers in the next few weeks, but more on that later.

Happy computing,
