Try out Microsoft Office 2007 for 60 Days

I didn’t get much sleep last night instead spending time surfing around the web finding new things left and right.  Of course I don’t remember many because web surfing can be like channel surfing on the t.v., mindless, which then makes it difficult to remember really what I was doing since I was in more [...]

Creating Slideshows with Image Loop and Slide

I am having fun today.  First I became Supergirl using the Superhero Quiz and then I created a couple of slideshows of my cat Jack using Image Loop and Slide.  Jack gets to have more photos of himself on the web and I got to see how these two applications work.
A little background about Jack.  He is [...]

I am Supergirl, Who Are You?

Well, I just took the super hero quiz and found that my personality pegs me closest to Supergirl.  I suppose if I wore a push-up bra I would have been a closer match (I don’t need one) though there is no doubt that I am beautiful!
Here are my results:You are Supergirl

Virtual Desktops with Dexpot

  I am a bit ADHD and tend to work on more than one project at a time when I am on my computer.  It would be nice if I had programs grouped by task that I had easy accessibility to using.  Today I came across a program that might fit the bill for me [...]

Transform Windows XP to look like Vista

I have spent a couple of hours downloading and playing around with Vista Transformation Pack 6.0 and have been having a lot of fun tweaking my computer to look like Windows Vista.  I don’t know if and when I will upgrade my current computer to Vista but I thought I would take a chance and [...]

Fun for all with Fun Trivia

Five Things You May Not Know About Me

Here are five things that you may not know about me.

I am the 7th of 8 children. My mother’s nickname was Bunny!
When I was a teenager and into my 20s I thought intellectually I was stupid.  I believed I had common sense but no brains.  Graduating college magna sum laude changed that idea.
For my 40th [...]

My Travels Through the Social Networking Awards

I didn’t participate in the Social Networking Awards that were presented by Mashable so I can’t complain about the winners – just like if I don’t participate in the presidential election I can’t complain about the president (I did vote so I can complain!).  The one thing I can say is I have checked many [...]

7 Free Windows Applications On My Computer Right Now

In keeping with the holiday spirit of giving I thought I would share some of the free applications I have on my computer that I use.  Some I use from time to time and others every day.  But, I think all of them are worth sharing with my readers who may be looking for that [...]

A Baker’s Dozen of Reviews and Predictions

I want to thank Darren Rowse of Problogger and his Reviews and Predictions Group Writing Project because it broke open the blogoshpere to me.  I’ve felt alone in my venture because my friends and family are not into blogging and the tech world. 
I have visited so many blogs over the past couple of days since I [...]
