At the Apple store, upgrading Greg’s ancient phone to an iPhone. I tried to talk him into giving ME the new phone and offered to let him use my older Model iPhone, but he declined. Bummer. I tried to talk him into letting me upgrade mine too. I guess I will have to hobble along […]

Google +
I got an invite to Google+! Woohoo!!! Thank you, Geek in Heels!! I cannot wait to go play and explore. So far, I like what I see. It would be more fun if people I knew were on it though. I really like their mobile app “Hangout” feature (at least what I could see from the […]
Google Wave
I was extremely excited to receive an invitation to preview Google Wave. I cannot wait to play with it! It is this awesome new online tool that is just coming out (in beta) that I think will be the “wave” of future online communications, replacing email and IM as we know it. http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html I watched […]
An Aspiring Nerd…Maybe
As you may know, I like to dabble in techy stuff as it relates to the internet and web design. I know a bit of HTML and CSS (and want to learn more!) and I am definitely a very talented code copier and paster. (I am also a big fan of the “undoing” feature, CTRL-Z, […]

I added the code to my pages yesterday and already I am enjoying the information that is coming back. My favorite features […]
Sony’s Invasion of Privacy
I absolutely hate it when I download a program and it installs a bunch of extras on my PC. I downloaded Yahoo Messenger and got a bunch of extras along for the ride even though I clicked on several boxes to NOT install them. I don’t use Yahoo as my regular search engine, so I […]
Netvibes
I have quite a few blogs that I like to read, and the information can be quite overwhelming and hard to keep track of without an RSS feeder or website that tracks and identifies any new posts on those blogs. These types of services sure beat having to go to each blog individually every day […]
Picasa and Organizing Photos
Greg mentioned to me recently that a friend of his uses Google’s Picasa program to organize his photos and that he swears by it. Since Picasa is a free downloadable program, I figured I might as well give it a try. What a fabulous program! I would especially recommend it for users who do not […]
Tech support pet peeve
One of my biggest pet peeves: Tech Support (or any type of support) not listening or reading my emails thoroughly. Case in point: I had an issue deploying a new version of a form to our server. I emailed tech support and provided the exact error messages (word for word), what I was doing at […]
