So I am sitting here, working on my iMac on the 25th of June. I had only JUST migrated all my work stuff back from the Macbook to the iMac since it is a much better machine to work on when I can. I was just getting back into the groove of working with a desktop instead of on a laptop perched on my knees. I was trying to figure out the best way to keep info sync’d between them ..read more

I am not that much of an apple fangirl
(This post was begun on June 25th – the day the hard drive in the iMac crashed. Forgive the late post.)
June 24th was release day for the iPhone 4G. I got all caught up in the feeding frenzy, attempted to pre-order and made plans to drive to Austin to “pick up my new phone”. I knew it was going to be crowded. I knew I’d be miserable for a few hours while I struggled with my crowd-phobia. But I figured ..read more
New toys? For me? I promise I won’t break them this time!
I had to find the exact quote and use it.

I’ve got a couple new toys! I promise I won’t break them this time!

// Share|WordPress theme play
I’ve been unhappy with my theme for a long LONG time. I’ve always wanted to make my OWN theme. My friend Yolospat is my inspiration – her theme is her own design. I’ve been wanting to play around in the theme garden and I just have never had the time, or the motivation to do so before now.
Cue a sleepless night with tech on the brain and here I am, awake at almost 6am, awake since about midnight, and I ..read more
Kindle vs Nook – fyr style
I blogged about my visit to the Bell County Museum last week but what I didn’t mention was that on the way back home, as pained up as I was, I had to make a stop at the Barnes and Noble to see if they had received their demo Nook.
I walked in, took my customary deep breath at the door (just because I SO love the smell of the place) and made a beeline for the Customer Service desk. As ..read more
