    If you didn’t catch it on Facebook, I announced that I will be returning to Round Rock, Texas and Dell headquarters next week (kind of my geeky Disneyland).  You can read all about my adventures with my friends at Dell last year in these posts… Dell Shows Other Companies How to Listen How Tech Brands Create Raving Fans Learning How to Do Tech Support Which Dell Are You?

  • TV Shows Go Social!

    TV Shows Go Social!

    The last month or so, I’ve been in love with a TV show.  It’s called the Voice, and they nailed it when it comes to interacting with their audience.  I initially tuned in because Christina Aguilera is one of my favorite artists.  When I tuned in though they featured live tweets from the “coaches” (ie the famous people judging and commenting on the show), live tweets from the show’s contestants, and an entire social media room where Allison Haislip (geeks [...]

  • Checking Out Google+ (Review)

    Checking Out Google+ (Review)

    I was lucky enough to score an invite to Google+.  This is Google’s latest attempt at a social network to try and rival the powerhouse that is Facebook.  It’s still very much in the beta stage (meaning that the program isn’t quite ready to go out to the world, and will still have many bugs).  Last time they tried it was with Google Buzz, and I listed the pros and cons of that system, stating that unless it had some [...]

  • Interesting Shifts in Music in My Time

    Interesting Shifts in Music in My Time

    When I was younger there were tapes, and the radio.  You’d listen to a station ALL day long just waiting for your favorite song to come on with your hand on or near the “record” button on your tape deck so you can get that song on tape and listen to it whenever you wanted!  MTV was just that… Music Television.  It would play music videos all day and night.  I remember hanging out with my friends at a house [...]

    How One Man Stopped Childhood Obesity

    OK, but not really.  This totally ties into the post I wrote about Lame Facebook Status Updates, so my husband suggested I post it today.  I agreed.  Enjoy! WARNING!! There are a couple of swear words written in the video, not spoken.

  • Brand New Look for Windows 8

    Brand New Look for Windows 8

    Video has just been released featuring a sneak peak at Windows 8.  I’m actually not quite sure what to think about it yet.  It’s got the “Zune” and “Windows Phone 7″ type of interface, which I think is great as a mobile OS, but I’m not so sure how it’s going to translate into desktop functionality.  I also really like the Zune interface when it comes to browsing through my music, again, as a business functional operating system, will it [...]

  • WTH: Facebook’s New Profiles

    WTH: Facebook’s New Profiles

    Facebook is at it again, changing things up.  You’ve probably noticed many of your friends have changed their profile to the new one.  There are some huge changes, and you may not be certain where things have gone.  I’m here to help you through the change! The first thing I like about these new profiles is the “summary” at the top of your profile.  It breaks up your full information into the basic information.  Directly under that is some pictures.  [...]

    Online Scams, Chains, and Hoaxes

    After about the millionth facebook friend of mine joined The Coalition of People Who Think That By Joining This Group I’ll Magically Have a Dislike Button on My Facebook Page, I decided this was a post that needs to be written.  We’ve all seen them, Bill Gates is testing email forwards and wants to give you money, a little girl in some city is sick and needs prayers and/or donations, or my personal favorite…a hundred puppies are going to die [...]

    Welcome! + Funniest Video About Technology!

    As I continually field phone calls from my Mom, Sister, Friends, etc. asking me how to do things on the computer, or what I think about this or that, or please help me pick a PC, or the grand daddy of all… Please fix my computer, I realized that I have a vast knowledge of technology.  Also, that there is a great number of people that could definitely benefit from my knowledge (and some that already do!)  So I decided [...]
