Today I was driving through an *unnamed* neighborhood, looking for a particular house, with only poorly written directions as my aid. This neighborhood was so new that not even Google maps was up-to-date on the streets- and thus my blackberry was of no help. Though occasionally I would see a decent address sign, there were [...]
Morning everyone!
Usually I’m just waking up around this time but today I was awakened at 6am by the school district. All kinds of jobs I don’t want. I just don’t enjoy working with them as much anymore, not to mention I have oodles of writing to do today. (is it Friday already?)
I also need to [...]
I spend a lot of time online. I mean, a LOT of time. As in, if I didn’t earn a little money from it, my time spent online would be a total waste.
In the process, I’ve learned a lot about getting around on the internet. I use Wikipedia all the time. I use Google, Yahoo, [...]
I’m a t-shirt and jeans gal. If I had my choice about it, I would wear a t-shirt and jeans every day of my life, with an added pullover sweatshirt in the winter, and flip flop shoes whenever possible. Give me a pair of jeans, and I will wear them until they are shreds.
Right now [...]
Here’s some recent unusual facebook friend requests for your amusement.
First, we’ll take a look at “Mike Baldwin”. He’s a democrat who lives in Kansas City and graduated from the same high school as me, two years before me. Aside from being a democrat, he looks reasonably legit. I’ll probably approve him. (Note to all my [...]
I am a huge fan of the internet for finding stores. But it can easily get challenging to do so. Sometimes, if I’m looking for a specific store, I can go to that store’s website. If it’s a good website, there will be a map included. Otherwise I take the address over to Google Maps [...]
I love Google. It is by far the best search engine I have ever used.
A few minutes ago, I was searching with Google to find the average size of a person’s vocabulary. So imagine my surprise when I found these results!
Vocabulary size and penis length? Ummm… okay…
(Yes, I love my tabs. It’s my thing, let [...]
A few minutes ago, I powered up my computer.
I opened Firefox and began typing in a website url. Nothing happened.
I clicked over to another tab and attempted to type in the Google search box. Nothing happened.
I hit “ctrl-t” to open a new tab. Nothing happened.
I closed Firefox. I went to “start-shutdown-reboot”. While the computer was [...]
When I first started surfing the ‘net as a wee tot, I used the bookmarks menu that came with Internet Explorer to mark my favorite sites. Game sites, usually.
A few years ago, I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox. It’s free, it’s flexible, and it uses much less memory than IE.
Around the same time, I [...]
I spent a lot of time yesterday and today editing photos in GIMP. It was, in some ways, a slow and laborious process. Lots of it was “slow” because I had to learn as I went along. I am FAR from a GIMP expert. But I learned, and I edited, and I’m quite pleased with [...]
