I consider myself obsessive about some of my work–and since all of my work is Internet-related and I own a number of websites at the most basic level, I need to be almost obsessive about making sure I have the very best web site hosting services that suit my needs. How did I [...]

You may have heard that Charter was giving away laptops recently and you might have even entered,  trying to win. Even if you did not win a laptop, Charter is still awarding great things to new customers. What kind of great things? I’ll give you a hint:  Camaro Sweepstakes.
Excited yet? It’s true. Charter is [...]

The question: What, if anything, do you gain by being on Twitter and actively using the service? was recently asked on a forum I frequent and given this great graphic that I came across today, I thought I’d share my thoughts on Twitter.
What I gain from Twitter is:Resources, Readers, Ego boost, Post ideas, Work, Connections.Am I [...]

You cannot talk about ugg australia brand footwear without explaining what makes them unique. I think many of us know that a Australian surfer was the bridge that brought UGGs from the beaches of Australia to the beaches of California and in short order far beyond, but what is the big attraction? Many folks have [...]

I love live events and quite a few top-notch performers and sports teams frequent the area in which I live, just outside of Chicago so it’s not the lack of events that can be problematic, it’s the lack of tickets.
When a big event launches like say this summer, Lollapalooza, the tickets are bought up [...]

I put off searching to find my own webhosting service for as long as I could. The reason? Because I had no idea what was the best web hosting service that I could afford. At that time I knew of no source that could reliably break down characteristics of a web-hosting service from myriad sources [...]

Back in the day I used to call myself  the  “<insert name of famous search engine> Search Queen” because I could find specific information about anything I wanted to find very quickly .
Times have changed as has the Internet and though I no longer consider myself a search “queen,” I still appreciate when I find [...]

Have you ever wondered if there is such a thing as an equestrian Cupid?
Maybe you are puzzled at the very question. An equestrian is someone who is a horse lover and is usually a rider as well. I’m guessing you know of Cupid. It’s difficult to reach adulthood without being struck by one or two [...]

This is amusing for about 3 seconds then I get to asking: Since Mom is using her prescribed medication in Dad’s coffee, what is she doing for medication? Unless she has two doctors she’s going to run out–and then what? And if she is obtaining mood altering drugs from at least two MD’s and she [...]

I must have some kind of impairment with anything  having to do with transferring files from my computer to my website. And I hate asking for help! I already did and thought it was working but went to do it on my own and well, the “thing” showed files being transferred but where they are, [...]

Most online users have heard of McAfee and may even know where to get McAfee coupons –which should be your stop when you are on your way to purchase McAfee fast anti-virus and anti-spyware protection and more.
But do you know about the latest enhancements to McAfee, including what Internet security experts agree is the best [...]

This is my favourite Post Secret because despite appearances to the contrary, it’s content is the least startling.
I don’t anticipate having the above post card-writer’s problem because my spouse is one of 7 kids, including three girls.  Since he’s a guy spouse gets off the hook a lot easier. I think the postcard author should start checking [...]

The first Post Secret listed knocked my socks off and there are a few more that are pretty awesome too, so go have a look.
It’s a photograph of Gweneth Paltrow and her mother, Blythe Danner.  In it, Gweneth looks a little put out and Blythe looks a little haughty. The postcard-sender states that [...]

People are funny in that they are so predictable–and I’m not exempt.
Mozilla releases a *new* browser and it of course, is not perfect. But what?! Not perfect!??? As in may screw up, may inconvenience, may annoy, may cause unfriendly sentiments towards Mozilla? Yup.
But not from me. In that way I refuse to be typical.
As a [...]

Go to Disneyland. I’m serious!
I’ve had a plan to meet up with out-of-state friends at Thanksgiving in California with part of my family’s time spent in the Land of the Mouse. We go every two years. However, my calculations were based on what I was earning at the time I made the decision. Due to [...]

 
Just checked my gmail–there are 200 emails I need to attend to. Probably 20 I can delete right away–the rest are real.
I’m really happy that I sent out the virtual Mother’s Day cards as some of the recipients were really touched. I tried to pick the themes that best suited each woman, then wrote a [...]

Yes, the weather was outstanding this weekend past and it continues to be now that the official work week has started.
I don’t have an “official” work week and at first I saw that as a bonus.
Lately though I’ve realized how much I work online and how little I’ve tending to things offline. Yesterday, I “forced” [...]

Wow.
Last night, just putting together onto a work days off grid for this summer for spouse, factoring in son’s Driver’s Education at the high school for the first half of summer ($350, which is actually less than what I thought the good teachers of this District would work for) and younger son’s monthly blood test [...]

 
Great news! Spouse finally finished our income taxes last night and we get a refund!
Also, he informed me that the silly Economic Stimulus Act 2008 “rebate” is going to really help towards vacation, as well as reminding me that his work bonus is being distributed in a month. In order of size we have Geo. [...]

Q:
As soon as the press learned the name of the prostitute associated with Eliot Spitzer, pictures from her MySpace and Facebook accounts were splashed across the web. Do you ever worry about how much personal information there is about you on the internet?
A: (Wow. The tech question person misspelled Internet. I fear [...]

Think of 10 Internet years ago compared to today. Remember when AOL was a major player, Google was a quaint-looking but fast growing start-up, Pets.com–remember them with the talking puppet commercials on television? No one really knew what Amazon.com was, people become dot.com millionaires overnight. They were flush with success as were so many other [...]
