Why a trunk monkey?

I provide a lot of tech support to adults, much more than I provide to students.  As with my students, I really want people to be self-sufficient, so I aim to teach skills when providing tech support that will allow the learner to become independent.  A few years ago, the Suburban Auto Group released a series of commercials about the Trunk Monkey.   If you haven't seen them, here is a collection from YouTube.

I selected this blog title because I won't be around every minute of the day to help people solve their tech problems.  The purpose of this blog will be to provide resources for people to find tips and solutions to help them with their technology needs.
