Somehow, yet again, we have ended up with too many televisions in the house. Three TVs are just too many for a household with only three people living in it. Plus, I have three more in the storage unit. I’m not sure how it even happens. And, I know I have two away on Freecycle […]

I got prepared to scan in all of my tax information from 2006 and the documents I need to file for 2007 when I realized my scanner was no longer working. My dad had agreed to do my taxes for me (he is a tax professional) and wanted everything by tonight.
I checked all of my […]

It seems almost too bizarre to be true, but it turns out that it is quite a real fact that you can pick up computer viruses from gadgets you have buy brand new and connect to your computer. I’m talking about digital photo frames, iPods, GPS systems and all kinds of other cool electronic gadgets […]

Actually, it turns out that is all she knew about herself back then as well. Once she went to college and started […]

I have to admit that I was skeptical as to how long Apple’s iPhone would remain a hot item after the initial product launch. The frenzy we all saw on the day the phones went on sale was so insane that I was sure the enthusiasm would just naturally implode. It seems like that sort […]

One thing I love about technology, and the internet in particular, is the trend toward collaborative work. As an educator, I fully understand the power of collaboration.

Water supply is a problem in many areas of the United States. Here is Florida, we’ve found a way to deal with the fact that we often find ourselves in drought, even though we are completely surrounded by saltwater – desalination.
In Clearwater, Florida residents are benefiting from the nation’s first, large-scale seawater desalination plant. It […]
