Okay, I’m back from my impromptu Blogcation. I didn’t actually plan to take so much time off from this blog. But it was necessary. I went to Intel in Portland Oregon for a couple of days. Then, since I was so close, I went to San Francisco for a few days to see friends and [...]

I donned these GrungeBud Panda Love ear buds from Atomic 9 to do a little multitasking the other day: Listen to a book on tape, clean my house, and try out the sound quality on these adorable jewelry-like buds. My daughter was scarfing down blueberries (now in season) in the kitchen when I went in there [...]

I have some friendships that have been hindered by geography and an innate inability to follow directions. For example, I once invited a friend (I’ll call her L.) to my house for an evening of dinner and festivities. I provided her with excellent directions. But some places are difficult to navigate and this was when [...]

Matt won my Mother’s Day giveaway from California Blooms. I’m sure his mom will be pretty happy about the dozen roses that are now on their way to her.
That was fun, wasn’t it?
Reading the comments on that giveaway was a blast for me. I feel so lucky now that my “morning problems” are more about [...]

In my Mother’s Day giveaway (click this link to enter), I asked you to tell me what’s on your mother’s day wish list. The responses are terrific and I’m enjoying reading them. Most people don’t want ‘things’ on Mother’s Day. But Dianne mentioned that she wouldn’t say no to a pair of comfortable headsets for [...]

I have a Mother’s Day giveaway for you, my GeekGirlfriends readers. It’s not a gadget. Nosirree. Web service? Nope! Gadget case? Uh uh. It’s flowers! A dozen roses, in fact. That is so old school, I know. But let’s be honest. A girl can never have too many roses delivered to her door, right?
California Blooms has offered [...]

Isn’t it sweet?
And it about as close as I’ll ever get to owning a Porsche. It is the Porsche-inspired Motormouse ($49.95). And I freely admit that I agreed to test it out so that I could make fun of it. Oh, of course I planned to also make fun of the males in our species [...]

Aren’t these two pretty together? That’s the Sony a330 DSLR camera and lens kit ($549; list price at SonyStyle.com) sitting on a Toshiba mini NB300 ($399.) Not only do they look good together they would make a terrific mobile photo team. I am pretty enamored of both of them.
The camera is the latest in the [...]

I got an email from HP a couple of weeks ago asking if I would like to review the TouchSmart 600 Entertainment Hub ($1510.99) here on my blog. Sure, I thought, that’s interesting. But then came the payoff: HP wants to give away - to one of you, my fabulous readers - this very same, slim, [...]

My daughter has been begging for a new cell phone. She left her treasured pink flip phone in the pocket of a pair of jeans about six months ago and it got washed. So she has been using an old phone from my drawer of cast-offs ever since. She has tolerated the situation admirably. She [...]
