Someone mentioned boyfriends. Tech is one of my passions. Yes, my eye strays from Richard Armitage at times — especially when he pays no attention to me! No pictures or soundbites to drool over! Nothing to fangirl over (absolutely fangirl is a verb. Don’t argue with me; it’s a verb!) But I get a steady [...]
Finally, Something Good about Internet Explorer
With the recent campaign for IE 9 on YouTube and elsewhere, I found myself continually hitting “skip ad” until my twelve year old said, “Mom, have you heard the Internet Explorer song?” I said, “No, and I don’t really want to.” She said, “Oh, you’re wrong. You’re gonna love it. Listen!” As it played, I [...]
Seeing Red
Those firmly in RA Universe know by now Peter Jackson screened 10 minutes of ‘The Hobbit’ at CinemaCon, and it was ill received by a significant number of attendees. The plan by Warner Bros. was to highlight the potential sea change in movie making with the advent of cameras like the Red Epic. What I [...]
Google, I love you, but you’re doing me dirty today
I have not been able to access my Gmail account for several hours (Temporary Error 500 with code 93, which means it’s a Google server error).

There are some others with MyOpenId being most notable. However, Gravatar is one of the easiest to use. But it’s no good [...]
Lovely Facilitator
I’ve been talking about the wonders of technology, and specifically what it can do for us. This invention has me thinking all sorts of possibilities for keeping my Richard Armitage obsession well fed but not in plain sight: Facial Recognition Billboard Only Lets Women See The Full Ad By Yi Chen on February 21, 2012 [...]
A New Addiction?
This is a follow on to my previous post. I have been on Twitter for over three years, and it has opened up the world in a way that other social media or forums or any number of other online dynamics has never done for me. Just so you understand the magnitude of that statement [...]
Remembering Steve
Yesterday, I was grumbling about information technology, but really, I love it and have had a passionate love affair with it since my early twenties. That love affair would have started sooner, but IT wasn’t readily available to the masses when I was a teen. Other than the ham radio culture and all the goodies [...]
