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…
Customer support via social media is a big thing these days. There are several companies that have presences on Twitter, Facebook, and now even Google+. But, just because you have a presence on a social media site it does not mean that you should neglect your own business website. If a customer visits your website…
I started writing this post a few days ago with the title “Have You Been Affected by Identity Theft?” It was saved in my Drafts. When I got home today and settled in, I changed into my jammies and curled up on the couch and decided to log into my PayPal account. And I was…

As a photographer, I spend a lot of time organizing, editing, and printing photos for my customers. This has to be done. But, in my personal life my photos usually sit on my computer neglected because I just do not feel like dealing with the editing, uploading, and emailing to get them out to friends…
Computers are kind of like homes. Just imagine a closet where you keep stashing things in your way because company is coming. You keep throwing stuff in, then every now and then you remember that you put something in there, you go and get it out, but you do not clear the rest of the…
I have posted before about how much I believe in ChicaLogic Products. I was first “befriended” by them back in October 2009. I have had the opporunity to test and review their 2 products, ChicaPC-Fix and ChicaPC-Shield on several occasions. Both have saved one of my computers more than once. So, when ChicaLogic approached me…
As you know already, I am a huge advocate for computer protection, cleaning, and virus prevention. It is soooo important! Otherwise you can lose very valuable data, photos, and more.

I have been talking a lot lately about spring cleaning not only your home, but your PC as well. Well, Mother’s Day is coming up. And I bet your mom probably does not have the newest and fastest state of art computer like you do. If this is true, you can help speed up her…
Those who know me, or read one of the many sites that I write for, know that I LOOOOVE my Google Calendar. It keeps me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I will usually argue with someone who tries to convince me to use something else. However, I recently agreed…
The ladies at ChicaLogic have done it again. I posted before about how ChicaPC-Fix saved my laptop by cleaning it up. Well, guess what? I don’t know what I did, but I had to do that again the other day. I think that I must have come across something really bad on the web when…

As the New Year approaches and you promise yourself that you are going to do a whole bunch of things that you put off before, I would bet money that at least some of you have “Take better care of my computer” listed. This could include backups, virus protection, spyware checking and more. This should…

These days,…
I think we are all guilty of getting busy and dealing with life and letting some of our computer maintenance tasks take the background or move to the bottom of the list. But we really should be sure that our computers are protected like we protect ourselves and our families from getting sick. This means…
I have worked in IT for over 13 years. One of the things that we have constantly have to deal with is training. Not just any training, but training for Microsoft Office, over and over again. I have constantly said, and I quote “Why in the heck does Microsoft have to completely change the look…

I had the opportunity to review Corel Digital Studio 2010. For years, even before I started making $$ taking pics, I loved creating things with photos just for the grandparents, friends, or myself. I have tried a few programs to do this so I was happy to add Corel to the mix. I think I had an…
I have worked in IT for about 13 years. Over that time I have used many, many different products as things change in technology. One of pieces of software that we have used in my organization for quite a while is VMWare. What is that you say? VMWare is a cool technology that allows you…
A few weeks ago on National Clean Up your computer day I wrote about the importance of keeping your PC running smoothly. Since then, I have had a chance to do a test run with System Mechanic by iolo. Years ago I used to shy away from tools such as this because there were a…
Monday, February 8th is declared as National Clean Out Your Computer Day. Why should you? Because over time computers can get bogged down with unwanted files, temporary files and folders, duplicates files, downloads and more. You would be surprised how much space you can recover in just one sweep of getting rid of stuff that…
I had been having this problem for a while. I would try to drag something to move it in Photoshop and it would jump clear across the screen or disappear completely! This happened one too many times, so I jumped on line and found that Adobe has released a fix for this very issue. If…

All of the ladies (and gents) that attended the Type-A Mom Conference last week in Asheville, NC got a free copy of the Creative Memories Storybook Creator software. So far it is awesome. I need to put it through the ringer though, but I have no doubt that it will hold up. I just need…
