<p>I like tech. And people. But what I like the most is helping people with technology.  Sure, I&#8217;ve received a few frantic phone calls in my time from family and friends that have gone something like&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;ALANA!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey, whats wrong?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really sorry to bother you&#8230; BUT&#8230; I just spilled [coffee, water, hot tea, beer, wine, etc.] all over my [macbook, macbook pro, iPod, blackberry, cell phone] AH OMG!&#8221;</p>
<p>Lately, my people+tech work has been a little bit different than the whole &#8220;ok. breathe.  make sure your computer is off and remove the battery ASAP! Don&#8217;t try to turn it back on! step away from the computer.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I see a blog or some sort of online effort that has some serious promise, I can&#8217;t keep my mouth shut. I mean, doesn&#8217;t everyone love free tech consulting?</p>
<p>It started with Kappa Alpha Theta, @<a title="Twitter Bettie Locke" href="http://www.twitter.com/BettieLocke" target="_blank">BettieLocke</a>, and their <a title="Kappa Alpha Theta Alumnae Blog" href="https://www.kappaalphatheta.org/alumnae/community/alumnae_blog.cfm?&amp;token=969390840&amp;startrow=0" target="_blank">blogs</a>.</p>
<p>Next up is my friend <a title="Brittany Craig Crowning Celebrations" href="http://crowningcelebrations.com/" target="_blank">Brittany</a>&#8216;s blog, &#8220;<a title="Crowning Celebrations Blog" href="http://www.crowningcelebrations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crowning Celebrations.</a>&#8221; Brit is an extremely talented designer, event/wedding planner, and overall just the classiest person I&#8217;ve met. If you don&#8217;t believe me, check out a <a title="Crowning Celebrations Perrysburg, Ohio" href="http://crowningcelebrations.com/kernergallerypage.html" target="_blank">photo gallery</a> of her past work.</p>
<p>Also up on the list is <a title="Run 'Til I'm Fun" href="http://runtilimfun.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Run &#8216;Til I&#8217;m Fun</a>. These fellow &#8216;Cuse alums are dedicated to the cause of running long distances (which is awesome) and they&#8217;re pretty hilarious too. It shows that they are fans of <a title="Two Birds One blog" href="http://www.2birds1blog.com/" target="_blank">2B1B</a>.  My former (slash lifelong) roommate Sarah says:</p>
<blockquote><p>A security guard standing outside of a building applauded me, stuck out his hand for a high-five and yelled out &#8220;keep it going, gorgeous!&#8221;   This man single-handedly made my day.  A standing ovation, a high-five and a compliment when I have no makeup on and my hair is in a sweaty bun?  God, these tights are magical. &#8211; via <a title="Run 'Til I'm Fun" href="http://www.runtilimfun.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><em>Run &#8216;Til I&#8217;m Fun. </em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>So, all you bloggers out there who are interested in my &#8220;5 minute e-mail of advice&#8221; feel free to shoot me an email at amedmunds@gmail.com.</p>
<p>Sure I&#8217;m no member of the <a title="Startup Princess Fairy Godmother" href="http://startupprincess.com/wordpress/fairy-godmothersguest-bloggers/" target="_blank">Startup Princess Fairy Godmother</a> Consulting team, but who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll drop them an email too.</p>
