All day long, it’s me and the internets. I use them many times an hour to look up various things, like the SQUIRE standards for quality improvement reporting excellence. And stuff like that.
I absolutely could NOT do my job without them.
Of course, the problem is that the internets also contain much less useful things. Like [...]

We’ve already established that I’m a technology slut.
(Yes, spammers, I used the word “slut” in this post. The spam filter on the Wrinklecomments awaits your onslaught of offers for Cialis. Knock yourselves out.)
I love finding new ways to play with technology. This weekend, I figured out how to:
1. Make stuff on my Macbook play on [...]

A while ago, I raved about Dragon, the voice recognition software, which I use several days a week. Basically, whenever I have to write something longer than one paragraph, I put on my headset and talk my way through it.
The position of the microphone in front of my lips is critical. If it’s not just [...]

On Sunday afternoon, sitting in a recliner with my new MacBook and my Blackberry, I figured out how to do two extremely cool things.

My seestah and Judie and I have been playing Bejweled Blitz on Facebook.

Effective January 1, the state of Oregon banned talking on a cellphone while driving. This is a good idea.
So I bought one of these:
It chirrups at me. At first, this was kind of fun. It’s a perky little digital sound, reminding me of how technosavvy I want to believe I am.
But then I realized it [...]

This is my laptop, minus the bezel that covers the edge of the LCD screen.
The LCD screen that, until last week, was chock-full of vibrant HD images. Until I partially closed it on one earbud.
A very small earbud.
Let that be a lesson to you.
I tried to buy a replacement screen. The closest I could get [...]

There have been things around the house that have been driving me crazy and I decided to get them all taken care of this week–not a good plan to do it all in the same week, especially since there are technically only 2.5 days in the week but I’ve never been known for my brilliant [...]

I get up at the crack of dawn. No, five days a week, I get up in plenty of time to witness the crack of dawn. It’s still dark, so technically speaking, I get up at the uttbay crack of dawn.
Several months a year, I’ve run a few miles and come back home by the [...]

I “edit” the electronic newsletter for DF’s school. “Editor” has really been more like “administrator.” I handed out user IDs and passwords and tinkered endlessly with little tiny type while engaging in redundant and monotonous button-clicking.
Last month, I had the bright idea of changing the whole thing over to a blog format. Just like this one–only without the [...]
