A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
Tomorrow morning will mark an international move: Techyness is heading to Shanhai, China for work! I can’t wait to share the photos (I’m taking the Canon xsi dSLR) new gadgets (it’s going to be ridiculous) and the pearls (oh yeah) that I will find and purchase during my time in China. So, readers of the [...]
For as far as I can remember, my friends have given me a hard time for talking to strangers. “There’s nothing wrong with making friends,” I would say. Some things never change. _____________________________________ While at the Albany airport, I sat down at a table in the air-conditioned area near my gate (#temp control fail) 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 [...]
I’ve been traveling a lot lately. This is a good thing. Especially since it means that I get to peruse SkyMall a lot more (on my trip back to Atlanta from Syracuse I was fortunate enough to look through the Holiday catalog). From a techyness standpoint, SkyMall provides a lot of laughs. What kills me [...]
Life’s hard. But things get a whole lot easier when you know where to look for information. Take my current latitude and longitude: I’m at a month-long technology “bootcamp” (don’t worry, push-ups are somewhat out of scope). Instead, think presentational speaking, lean/six sigma, project management, finance, java, sql, xml and lots of caffeine. Oh and [...]
Ok so this post isn’t about a technology…really, but moreso me just sharing something really cool that can help ya’ll out there. I’m moving to Atlanta soon, and when I was online hunting for apartments, I realized that I was relying heavily on organic search results through Google. Basically, if you have a good web [...]
I was planning my journey home to Ohio for Thanksgiving break when my mom called and suggested that I stop somewhere and stay the night (mainly as I am a terrible nighttime driver) Anyway, I went online and started to check out my options- I usually check out sidestep.com first and then go for your [...]
Wanderlust, a word I came across while wiki’ing, means “(Middle High German: wandern, to wander, and Lust, desire) is a German loanword. It is commonly defined as a strong desire to travel, or by having an itch to get out and see the world [1]. Some consider it to be a simple linguistic compound of [...]
One thing that I like about the Internet is it brings “hinting” at something to the next level. Know what you want for christmas? Easy- just make a wishlist and casually send it over to someone. Online retailers have become increasingly better at helping people to get what they want. You can write about it [...]
