MISPLACED, NOT LOST
I sat here last night. Pondering the differences between this computer which runs Windows 7 Professional and all my other computers which run Windows 7 Home Premium. That was the precise moment I realized I had not the slightest idea where I’d… Read More ›
A NEW LOOK FOR SERENDIPITY
I have changed the look of Serendipity. Again. I am pretty sure I’ve gone through at least a dozen templates since I started blogging more than four years ago. Why? Because I’ve had a series of issues for the last three… Read More ›
TECHNOLOGY AS TRASH
In 2013, the computer industry declared me obsolete. Irrelevant. Anyone who can’t or won’t afford software subscriptions to “keep up to date,” is in trouble. Adobe stopped selling DVDs of their product and other companies are following suit though not as quickly… Read More ›
ONE SIZE NEVER FITS ALL
Just when I think this subject has been dealt with, finished, over and done … it pops back up again. For reasons that remain a bit murky to me, a few large software and other organizations still believe the tablets… Read More ›

RUNNING MICROSOFT’S OBSTACLE COURSE
Four computers in this house run Windows 7. There were more, but the kids moved out, so it’s just Garry and me. We each have a desktop with a big, high-definition screen. We don’t use either of them. Instead, we each… Read More ›
TOO MUCH TECH
I went to the dentist. Discovered I’m not (no longer?) dying of infection (antibiotics), but I need a $1200 crown. If I plan to keep the tooth, that is. At which point, I noticed how lovely was the late afternoon sun…. Read More ›
