It is going to happen to most of us at some point… you hear about an amazing opp opening up applications. You apply. You cross your fingers. You get rejected. You watch your friends that were accepted talking about what a great time they are having doing _____. Usually, this does not bother most of…
With the economy the way it is right it is important to have a hold on your finances. But sometimes it is hard. Lots of people are on strict budgets and every penny helps. There are many people that I know, myself included, that have had a major life change and could definitely use the…
Tablets, tablets, tablets. Tablets are everywhere. What tablet should you get? How much should you spend? What features are you looking for? For most consumers, the basics is fine. They want to be able to check and send email, browse the web, or take notes during a meeting. And of course with the economy the…
Although we have been having extremely mild weather here in Chicago this winter some places are covered in snow. We usually are by this time of year. And we still have a ways to go according to Phil the Groundhog. It is early February so we still have the potential to be covered in snow…
Oh the power of the internet… because of social media I have met and interacted with so many awesome, smart people. And I have made SO many new friends. One of those awesome friends is the fab Chris Curtis. I have had the pleasure of being a guest on Chris’s radio show, Tech Tuesday, a…
Have you ever wondered exactly what goes on inside your camera after you snap a photo? Or do you want to know the benefit of having a faster memory card for your camera? Fast memory cards can save a lot of time. The photos save faster so you can move on to your next shot…
Earlier this month I went to Detroit for NAIAS (North American International Auto Show). This was my second year, although this year I was with GM. I have nothing but great things to say about GM and their social media efforts. I could go on and on, but I won’t. The most fascinating part of…
Have you ever wondered just who it is that you talk to when you call customer service for a company? Do they really have a room full of people that do nothing but answer the phones? A lot of companies might. But, chances are that they may use a outsourcing service like Global Response. And…
As January comes to a close a lot of us are reflecting on how we are doing with our New Year Resolutions. Some of us (like me) may be getting a late start. January was a whirlwind of changes, emotions, and thoughts. I have spent a lot of time thinking, and a lot of time…
I have mentioned before that I have an addiction to really nice laptop bags. They need to be beautiful, functional, and roomy. I also love phone cases, laptop sleeves, and tablet cases and sleeves. And if it all matches that is even better! But besides that it has to protect. After all, we pay a…
I am always talking about how important it is to have a great bag when attending conferences and such. The wrong bag is well… bad! Shoulder bags and computers and walking around all day don’t mix. You will end up with a sore shoulder. And another thing that I preach is having portable power. You do…
I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch in mid-December. I used it and I noticed right away that the battery life absolutely sucked. I mean it was horrible. It was worse than other Android phones that I have used. It was dying by 11 am or so each day, and it did not seem…

Along with all my other many fetishes I have one for watches. Nice big silver watches. Why only silver? I don’t really know. I stopped wearing gold several years ago and just never went back to it. I just find that silver-tone goes better with just about everything. However, I will wear one with gold…
I was an iPhone owner before it was cool to be an iPhone owner. I had one back before they were released to the public. And I thought nothing of it at the time. My job was lucky enough to get in the beta testing program, so I had an original iPhone back when they,…
Sony Playstation has joined the ranks of some other companies and launched a mom blogger program designed to bring more awareness to the good versus bad benefits of gaming for families. I am a big advocate of the newer games. Games used to be bad, bad, bad. We sat on the couch for hours and ended up…
As a mother it is great to connect with other moms to exchange info, talk about the whoas of motherhood (yes.. there are some), get together for playdates, or even swap and sell baby items that we no longer need. The main problem with this is knowing who to trust. We all use the internet…
I told a friend last night that I was not “going black” today because I tend to stay out of political issues. However, that does not mean that I don’t have something to say about it. We live in the United States. *Supposedly* one of the big deals about this is that we have free…
Technology is always evolving. And as it does there is always more to learn. I decided to start a newsletter to share one awesome technology related tip per day to expand your tech skills (and mine). This might include anything from iPhone to Android, or social media to blogging. Anything particular you want me…

Say what?? Oleophobic lenses is a fancy name for lenses that resist, well… just about everything. You can just call it Fingerprint Resistant Anti-Reflective Coating. Yes, that is a mouth full. Oleophobic lenses repel water, oil, dust, and fingerprints. And they even reduce reflections which can sometimes hinder vision. This sounds awesome to me. I am constantly…
As I completed the redo of my girls’ bedroom, I was SO happy that I was finally able to use the flat panel wall mount that I had purchased 6 years before. The thing was in my cabinet collecting dust. I originally purchased it for use in my master bath where I was going to…
Have you ever had a computer that sounds like an airplane gearing up for lift off? I have had an couple. My current one is my HP DV7-2180US. I purchased this laptop in July of 09, but the specs can still stand up against most new laptops out there today. It was not cheap either….

Earlier today my mom called to tell me about a couple of alarming things on the news. In one story, a man was attacked by 2 pit bulls while jogging through the park. The same park where I used to play as a kid. In another report, a young lady was brutally attacked by a…
Believe it or not, I know someone who still has an original Motorola Razr. Those phones were first released in 2004. It is almost unheard of that someone would hold on to a cell phone that long… THAT STILL FUNCTIONS! I think that says a lot about the workmanship of the phone. Motorola should be…
For me, 2011 was the year of many things. There were ups and downs, changes, revelations, and many things to be proud of. 2011 was the year of tech: But then again we could probably call every year in this century the year of tech in some way. For me personally, 2011 changed the way…
