By now you have all heard of and maybe even tried Skyping with a friend or family member? I personally love this option, while my son was in Afghanistan a few years ago it was our life line to seeing and believing that he was ok. With family across the country and a husband travelling over seas, it saves on long distance …

Why is it that we call the year with an extra day, Leap Year? Don’t get me wrong, I know it has to do with the Gregorian Calendar. I just have my definitions all wrong. To me ‘leap’ means to jump forward or upward, I think of it as advancing, not adding? I wonder, did anyone else out there grow …

Tonight is Hollywood’s big night!  Will you be watching the Oscar’s or surfing the net? The red carpet events are worth watching, looking to see who has the best dress, best hair, all the important things. Then of course there is the fact that Billy Crystal will be hosting. As for all the rest, who wins what and who they wish to thank, …

Have you ever had the chance to be a part of history? Anyone who has been to Niagara Falls, Ontario, and has been on the Maid of the Mist boat tour, can pretty much consider themselves just that. After 165 years, The Niagara Parks Commission has decided that good work ethic and commitment doesn’t amount o much and has chosen a new company …

Happy Valentines Day!  Hope you did something special for your special someone? This is a day when the small things count. You don’t need a lot of money to express your love, do something kind for someone. I just read that over approximiately 15 million e-cards were sent in 2010.  Unless you are halfway around the world from your loved one, I don’t think …

Woke up yesterday morning and couldn’t see out the front windows, and this morning everything is white. Finally, a taste of winter. In a country that expects and needs snow this is a good thing. There are a lot of people and businesses that rely on snow. And lets face it, snow in February is so much better than snow in April, May, …

While working outside ‘the world of tech’ today, a client began a conversation to tell me of his new system. He  had purchased a Mac and was very happy with it so far,  although a little confused with how to shut it off. When originally ordering it, he didn’t think the ‘cost’ of an SDD vs HDD was worth it, so he …

You will have to trust me when I relate that I have had more than a few laptops throughout the years.  I never really cared about the way they looked or ran, so long as I could check e-mail, play a few games and access Facebook.
