Our companion email list, the Cleveland Park Listserv, is a treasure trove of recommendations. We want to share on All Life Is Local, on a periodic basis, the best recommendations that have been posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv. You'll be able to search All Life Is Local for "contractor," "plumber," "computer tech," "auto body shop" -- whatever you need. The search box, in case you have trouble finding it, is to the right and down a bit.

I found Brian Wilkinson, (wilkibrian at gmail dot com), a technology resource coordinator, through the Cleveland Park list-serve a few weeks ago and contacted him to update a website for my business and also add functionality to my desktop. Brian did an amazing job with this work and his price was extremely reasonable. He is very knowledgeable and efficient, and also very trustworthy and patient. My business now has a very good website, thanks to him. Several clients had positive comments about the website updates and gave compliments that it is easier to navigate and locate information.

I highly recommend Brian, wilkibrian at gmail dot com, to anyone with technical computer needs.

I recommend Robert Morshauser (www.TheRightCliq.com -- 202-986-7571.) He's great, prompt and reasonable priced, and has dealt successfully with both hardware and software issues for me. He was able to come quickly, bring and do what was needed and leave me with a "like new" computer and with very reasonable prices. He was wonderful.

If Only Tech Support Worked This Way

The way the world should work in the eyes of cartoonist (and computer user) Randall Munroe. Enjoy and laugh a little. I did.
