This morning when I woke up at, on the west coast, what was a ridiculous hour but was just plain early on the east coast I did what I always do when it's dark and I'm tired and I don't know what time it is. I asked Alexa what time it is. And she didn't … Continue reading what time is it?

there are still problems with living in the future…
At 7am on a Sunday I’m not expecting much. But I am expecting to be asleep. This 7am in particular had other ideas. Or Alexa did. Her little notification tone chimed. It’s a gentle tone. It didn’t make me sit bolt upright. It just made me ask Rick what was going on while I slowly … Continue reading there are still problems with living in the future…

I have a love hate relationship with the way in which technology has sculpted our connection to and consumption of information. This isn't about the quality of our information, that's a whole different tale to tell, I'm talking about the way in which we interact with it. So many of us take in data in … Continue reading what’s up doc…
it’s like you don’t even know me…
I've spent the past couple of days in the sunny desert city of Phoenix, Arizona. And much like every trip I've taken in my life I find I discover something new with every trip. Take something in at every location. Grow as a person with every new corner of the world I see. And often … Continue reading it’s like you don’t even know me…

I'm notoriously hard on my electronics. I put them through hell and back with a detour to the Sahara which was rerouted through the Lost City of Atlantis. Some of my more memorable accomplishments include: Leaving my digital camera loose in my purse then setting it on the floor of the car to get stomped on. … Continue reading burble bring ring…
because I have a huge crush on technology…
Living in a time when so many of us can hold a world of knowledge in the palm of our hand -or shove it in our pocket or toss it in our purse- it's easy to lose sight of just how amazing the technology of today is. When I was a kid watching shows like … Continue reading because I have a huge crush on technology…

When I was younger I thought I'd be living the life of the Jetson family by now. I pictured living in my high (high high high) rise condo with flying cars and a robot maid to do my dishes, laundry and clean the floors. Yeah, even then I knew I'd hate cleaning floors. As a … Continue reading miss manners should tackle facebook…

This is not the first note I've written to you today, dear laptop. Earlier I asked why you won't add a period when I double space after a sentence. It's not like I was holding you personally responsible. It's not like I thought it was JUST you. It's the entire computing industry. I'm just so … Continue reading dear laptop…
but I don’t wanna…
I have a problem you guys. I've been aware of it for a while but fairly unwilling to admit it. At first I couldn't even admit it to myself. It didn't even occur to me to admit it to myself. And then when it did occur to me I was horrified. Mortified. In a state … Continue reading but I don’t wanna…
phenomenal content power… itty bitty viewing space…
It's been a good long while since I had a geeky post but yesterday... oh yesterday Netflix released a "Watch Instantly" player for iPhone. Oh how it's been something I longed for. Wanted. Needed. Had to have. I mean I'm not entirely sure how often I'm going to need to stream movies or TV shows … Continue reading phenomenal content power… itty bitty viewing space…
