  • Hang In There, Baby!

    Posted on Saturday November 29th, 2008 at 21:57 in technofile

    My laptop is acting funny. I really like my little old HP.  It’s pre-Vista, so I don’t have any of  those issues, but it’s also been carrying the load for me with all my home computing needs for quite awhile. The MacBook Pro I hav...

  • Please Leave A Message After The Tone…

    Posted on Wednesday September 17th, 2008 at 22:12 in technofile

    I must be getting really old. It seems every single student is hard wired to some electronic device constantly.  From cell phones to ipods, all of the kids are tuned in to their own little worlds, mildly annoyed that they have to share band width wi...

  • My New Toy

    Posted on Saturday August 16th, 2008 at 00:14 in technofile

    I guess I’m supposed to consider it a signing bonus.  At least that’s how I’m looking at it. I picked up my new laptop today, and it’s VERY cool.  The school gave me a MacBook Pro with a 15-inch widescreen and all kinds of s...

  • OK, Now I’m Mad.

    Posted on Sunday June 22nd, 2008 at 17:03 in git 'er done, steamed up, technofile

    At myself, that is. I spent all day yesterday with my nose buried in books, calendars, and the laptop, working like a little trooper on developing three syllabi for most of the new classes I’ll be teaching this fall. Now, when I put together a ...

  • You Want WHAT Kind Of Cable?!

    Posted on Sunday June 1st, 2008 at 20:56 in technofile

    I went on a mission today, but unfortunately, it was not “mission accomplished.” I was hoping to find a cable with a USB plug on one end and RCA plugs on the other.  That way, I could patch a cassette deck into my laptop and record some ...

  • Yippee!

    Posted on Saturday April 26th, 2008 at 15:23 in technofile

    My neighbor Marisa is the best thing since sliced bread. No, really, she is! I spend almost as much time in her kitchen drinking coffee in my jammies as I do in my own. Belle the pit bull doesn’t even bark when she hears me walking around to ...

  • One Ringy-Dingy…

    Posted on Monday February 11th, 2008 at 19:15 in technofile

    I’m sick and tired of not having a cell phone. I lost the last phone I had last February when the radio station laid me off.  It was my phone, but when I was hired, the boss said he would transfer the contract to the station’s bill and p...

  • Technically Challenged

    Posted on Friday February 8th, 2008 at 02:52 in technofile

    The older I get, the dumber I sometimes feel. I’m fully convinced that we should allow the 14-year-olds to run the world, then take away the reigns of power when they no longer know everything. On a slightly less cynical note, I do envy the kid...

  • Yep, I’m A Luddite

    Posted on Sunday November 25th, 2007 at 22:02 in technofile

    I’m not always amused when technology steps up and slaps me right out of my comfort zone. Right now, I love my TV.  It’s a 36-inch flat screen.  It is NOT, however, a high def. The doggone thing weighs about as much as a Buick, but sinc...
