A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
Since seeing the live broadcast where Daniel and the Harry Potter crew opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, FL at Universal, it has been a personal goal of mine to visit this world where wizards/witches fly, broomsticks and dragons dominate as the primary method of transportation, and eating a jelly bean that [...]
Today, we’re all over the place. Not just in a busy sense (well, that too), but also in a digital sense. We leave our footprint (Foursquare checkins, Facebook wall posts, Tweets, Blog posts, Comments, Yelp Reviews etc..) all over the ‘net. We share where we’ve been, where we’re going, what we did, ate, thought and [...]
Happy Easter Sunday to All! Miss Techyness is blogging to you live from sunny Key West, Florida — and so I’d like to share a warm “Happy Easter” greeting to all. Regarding techyness levels here on the island, I’d have to say the foursquare use is pretty low, as I am continuously adding new venues [...]
This past Thursday evening, I was giving a presentation on how technology/the web has advanced since the “PC era” and how we got to this age of Twitter, Facebook, Cloud Computing and awesome mobile applications. During this presentation, a member of the group asked me to explain what a mashup was (because it was on [...]
I must have some sense of twisted sense of congratulatory celebration, as my moving date happens to fall on the same day as my 24th birthday. Hopefully this move won’t include similar stories from my last move — movers who asked me if I wanted to “party” later or go hit up the bar across [...]

Some believe that technology is better left at home while one is attending formal events. But what about gadgets that define elegance? While at a black tie event in Baltimore over the weekend (and trying to stuff gadgets into my small clutch) I realized that having elegant gadgets are part of the overall “look” at [...]
Last weekend, I found myself in the city for a few days. And while I was there, I realized that when you combine NYC, Hot Guidos and a few (hot) chicks on twitter, your total # of followers can increase substantially (and you’re going to have a lot of fun). And the best part about [...]
Posing with the Mascot for the 2010 Expo in Shanghai Everyone (I’m being serious) loves Haibao, the mascot of the 2010 World Expo ( 2010上海世界博览会). Sure, you may think he looks very much like a character made out of toothpaste (the hair flip, mainly) but he’s everywhere in Shanghai. Today’s “Expo” is the modern version [...]
Ni Hao (hello in Chinese) from China. I’m here, alive and enjoying bringing the techyness to Shanghai, China. Top Techy Observations: -For some reason, it’s okay to text while riding a bike. People don’t seem to have an issue with this, but I do. – The fake iPods do not run the same OS as [...]
