I avoided Twitter as long as humanly possible, but of course one can only hold off on participating in the tech trends for so long without turning into some kind of geek prude.  It started just about a month ago when I was bored on a train ride out to D.C… and there it was… Twitter.

I created my profile and eased into the whole process of pushing out itty-bits of chars to define the otherwise frenetic moments of a working day.  Trends, projects and articles whiz by in twitter time and suddenly one is propelled into a world of conversations that, as it turns out, the entire world is listening in on. read this entry »

True, I am procrastinating.  I hate to clean,  I get sense-memory carpel tunnel flare up induced by images of child-me going through the motions -> tedious repetition of  scrubbing floors, bathtubs and table tops <–  but it is that time of year and I am a “traditional” kinda gal!  (Besides, my honey is a neat freak and I am almost inspired by that.  Almost.)

Spring Cleaning = PAIN!!!

Spring cleaning (according to our friends @wikipedia) is the period in spring time set aside for cleaning a house, normally applied in climates with a cold winter.
The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name. However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise. A person who gets their affairs in order before an audit or inspection could be said to be doing some spring cleaning.  (Or a Politician)

As a true ” Geek” of course,  Spring Cleaning takes on a new meaning to include, not just the traditional dusting about the house and recycling all my old clothing to the Salvation Army, it means clean up/back up of critical systems for life & business!  Inspired by a recent post at Lifehacker.com I thought some of you might appreciate what they say is The Good, the bad and the useless when it comes to doing “stuff” to your PC!

As for me, time to get to that pile of old clothes and start labeling boxes for A/V cables!

Happy Spring Cleaning Geeks!

She had to be put to sleep today, riddled with cancer… for those of you who knew her, you know I  love that little cat…

Here is the last picture of her taken before her last day as a cat… I hope they finally let you come back as a true lady-diva.

I will always miss your “Meh”
