I got to unbox a 1st generation iPad for work and then spent 30 minutes trying to figure it out since Apple decided that an instruction manual would be too easy. Note: I’ve never owned any Apple products so there might be just a thing [...]
I spent this morning doing research on records retention policies for non-profits and eventually realized that I’ll end up writing a records management guide for the local YWCA chapter before it’s over.

When midnight [...]
My recently purchased Nook Color has been rooted to have the Cyanogenmod 7 Android release on it. While looking through the settings I realized that it now has the ability to use Bluetooth. I don’t own anything with Bluetooth on it… until I remembered my LG enV Touch phone. I apologize for being too lazy [...]
Now that the ceremonial lemon yellow hood is off and my family has returned home, it is time to plan the next steps of my career. This is a rough list of things I am setting up/working on in no particular order:
