A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
Sometimes wired is better. I NEVER thought I would find myself saying that, but after testing out a Jawbone headset for a while, I realized that I was truly better off with a wired version of a cell phone headset. Reasons Why I Went Wired: - People know you’re talking on the Phone (So it’s [...]
In an effort of true green font proportions, font fans Matt Robinson and Tom Wriggelsworth decided to draw out large scale type of popular fonts to measure the total ink usage. As a measurement/six sigma dork, I am loving the data visualization piece of their effort… they used the remaining ink in the ballpoint [...]
Feelings of nostalgia are ever present in our lives.We remember things about our past and they mean something to us. BUT What about tech nostalgia? Not only is it hilarious (remember the old school stuff hiding in your digital graveyard or in old movies?) but it also keeps us grounded in how quickly we are [...]
So you want to buy a gadget, or something techy for that special someone in your life? How about taking a romantic twist on a gift? For the past few years, I have taken on a new role… gift consultant. Sure, you might ask, how are you qualified? Maybe it’s because I watch a lot [...]

In my previous posts on the subject, I have compared headphones to boyfriends. This metaphor lives on. Crappy headphones are easy to come by.

If you are a reader of the Techyness, you’ve probably noticed from my numerous Gossip Girl references that I’m a fan. It goes without saying that historically, popular television shows and their casts have made an impact on trends- mainly clothing, hair, jewelry, etc. But today, with gadgets becoming an extension of our personalities (and [...]
First off, my apologies for the delay in posting to the Techyness. Instead of researching fun techy things for you readers, I was laying on a beach. And of course, I got sunburned. Which made me think of what types of gadgets I wish I had with me since I couldn’t spend any additional time [...]
My newest techy gadget puchase of a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi has truly turned me into a “canon girl.” (sorry nikon!) After tracking the progress of this purchase via boxoh (my new favorite package tracking website), learning how to operate this new gadget effectively has become my newest hobby. But… I had a few things [...]
Coffee shops are filled with tech- students doing homework and on their laptops, people checking their blackberries… I’ve never heard of a coffee shop where all of this is banned. This “Tech Free Oasis,” Virgil’s house in Saratoga Springs, NY (15 minutes away from where I live now) has instated a policy that reads: “This [...]
