A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
Some of us are negotiators. Some aren’t.
The first group enjoys the challenge of dealing with a used car salesman/car salesman, the second group would rather purchase a car from carmax. Of course, when you choose to negotiate yourself, you can either get ripped off, or get some cool stuff.
However, in this new age of online [...]
We all <3 music.
However, not everyone has their own computer (or enough disk space, or money…) to buy and house all of their media files.
What comes to mind immediately is Pandora, which creates playlists off of a particular song/artist that you input, but there are more options for all of you out there.
These sites are [...]
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 a very Syracuse [...]
SitterCity. Is it another online world like second life? or is it a video game?!”
Nope. It’s pretty legit actually.
As an online service that helps to link up people who are looking for work and those who are looking for help- SitterCity provides listing for child care, pet sitting, dog walking, house sitting, as well as [...]
Life’s crazy. I’m graduating in a few days.
Which also means I’m almost finished with my final classes (& exams!) of my undergraduate career here at Syracuse University. Consequently, I learned in my flash/photoshop class how to “write” text over an image in flash (a la Sara Bareilles). Check it out.
So, I’m working on creating a [...]
(note, this is a repost from 2007, but I still find it current.)
Each year, TIME magazine names someone the “person of the year.” In the past, it’s been John Paul II, the Gates family, former mayor Guiliani, MLK and now it’s You.
“This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not [...]
While searching for the outfits found on the CW’s GossipGirl series (and also researching my new pair of lafont glasses), I found myself on a fashion blog called the Periodic Elements of Style (what a great name!).
Anyway, I stumbled upon Blogher-
Founded in February 2005 as a labor of love by three bloggers, BlogHer’s mission is [...]
Earlier today, I received an e-mail (via the bb) from my dad:
“Go to New Times News Service by William L Hamilton an article on Technology Dad”
One line, straight to the point and no fancy signatures- when i opened the e-mail on my computer, there was so much whitespace on the screen that I almost [...]
Whenever I see an article on blogging, I usually think one of two things:
1. [sigh] another article on the benefits of blogging?
2. [maybe it's the 'glass is half full' side of me] maybe I can learn something to apply to techyness.
This article from the New York Times titled, “Blogging’s a Low-Cost, High Return [...]
A few weeks ago, I was in the computer cluster here at Syracuse University and the worst thing happened in the middle of creating a ERD. my ipod died. Upon realizing I was a bit frustrated at this situation, my friend turned to me and said “Alana, have you tried Pandora?”
Being the geeky person that [...]
