I love the Internet. The fact you can read one article and find a more exciting article through it just exemplifies the power of the Internet. I am continually awe inspired. For example, while reading an article on CIO Magazine’s site, the author referred to another article he had read – and article that was…

I Hate Voice Mail
If you are not into technology, please forgive this post. I’m a geek – so sometimes it has to come out. I hate voice mail. I hate it at work. I hate it on my cell phone. And, I really hate it at home. Can’t get ahold of me – send text message or email,…
Complaints
This is the statement that is said almost daily in our house by Garbanzo: “I don’t like this new Internet. It’s always slow.” And, I will respond like this: “Well, my love, we only have the following things currently connecting to the Internet: 3 laptops 2 iPhones 2 iPod Touches The Tivo The Wii I…
Quick How-To
Osbasso asked me a question today:“OK…not possessing an iPhone, but having an iPod Touch…how did you get a screenshot of that? “Good question! This is a hidden feature I have heard was put into the iPhone by engineers so that they can capture and communicate errors correctly.

Walkman versus iPod
Did you know that the Sony Walkman turns 30 years old this week? I didn’t either. And, I also feel old now….or maybe again. I was DJ’s age when I got my first Walkman – and it was an actual Walkman and not one of those knockoffs that came later. As much as I try,…

Spam, Spam, Everywhere, But Not A Can to Eat
I am a connoisseur of spam. Not that kind that comes in a can, but the kind that arrives in your inbox. While others find it annoying, I find it humorous. But, I think I’ve said that here before. I twitter. I have found it an interesting medium for “micro-blogging” if you will. And, I…
Do What I Say, Not What I Do
At lunch today, I decided I wanted to make a minor change to the blog template. I always tell people to back up their work first – before making changes. Guess who didn’t follow her own advice? I’d give you three guesses but you will only need one. Thirty minutes later, I had a new…
Yes, I Am A Geek
A few weeks ago, a my coworker Andi asked me if I had tried out the Kindle Reader for my iPhone. “I haven’t. Why?” She had downloaded it on her iPod Touch and was in love with the application as it combined yet one more passion on the device – reading. Turned out Andi…
