Yesterday I noticed my Google search came up with these little arrows and Xs next to the results. Clicking the up arrow is a vote to “Promote” the search result, and clicking the “X” is a vote to “Remove” it. I’m not sure how I feel about this social option being added to my old, familiar [...]

These tech-chic pendants are called “Silicon Gallies,” and they’re the brilliant creation of Capitola Girl. She takes used computer keys and turns them into clever jewelry, featuring initials or special key combinations. I love this CTRL-Z (undo) pendant. The only thing that would make it better would be “Apple-Z.” Check these out if you’re looking for a [...]

Oh my goodness! This is a lip-sync video of a recording by a very talented a cappella group called moosebutter. They’ve taken several movie themes by composer John Williams (including E.T., Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Jaws), and added lyrics outlining the Star Wars story. It’s Brilliant! And don’t just dismiss this because you think all [...]

Here’s a quick list I put together while I was thinking about my own family’s techie-tech lifestyle. In no particular order, and subject to revision… Hope this gives you a grin. You refer to your baby’s due date as “Labor-CON.” You catch yourself humming a song and realize it’s from a video game, not the radio. You speak [...]

I sat down at my “secondary” computer recently, which is also used by my children. They’re not allowed to play with my MacBook, but they have their own limited-access account on the desktop iMac, and they like to watch DVDs, play games, and type on it. Yes, you might say they’re mini-geeks. They love computers. While [...]

I’ve never had my name on a comic strip before! This was drawn by Robin MacRorie, a talented artist I met on Twitter. My story with her ink. Click to view full size. Enjoy!

If you aren’t a fan of Rob Pattinson, you might not appreciate this, but I’ve thought Rob was cute since I saw him as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (get it from Amazon). So when I heard Rob will be playing my favorite vampire, Edward Cullen, in the upcoming Twilight movie, [...]

Today is my birthday! So I’m re-publishing one of my favorite posts for you today. Originally, I posted it on April 12, 2008, but I think it’s still funny in October. Hope you enjoy it. I’m going to have a piece of birthday cake just for you! Cheers! - - - - - File this post [...]

I have three children: two boys, ages nine and seven, and a girl, age three. Life is busy, and the kids keep me entertained. There’s nothing more fun to watch than three siblings singing, dancing, and laughing together! (It happens on occasion.) However, lately, the boys have been into telling jokes. Now, I think I have [...]

Hello, everybody! I’ve been working on some new Twilight stuff, to keep me from becoming too impatient while waiting for the movie. The latest: Silver plated, beaded bookmarks, with a gorgeous blood-red foil-lined heart charm! The bookmarks feature a pair of blood-red droplet beads, finished with that especially pretty heart charm. The foil inside the glass [...]
