Folks are asking me why I have not made some public decree about Apple's new iPad. Here's my statement: I know I've seen the future and I have no clue how to process that vision. 

When I said "don't sleep with it," I was serious

Just say no to over-sharing on the Internet

 

It was nearly a year ago that I issued this giggle-inducing, yet, serious warning: get comfortable with social media, but don't sleep with it. I still mean that. So please, ladies, do not take advantage of the new social media service called Blippy.

Google Chrome

If you are still using the Web browser that comes standard on your PC (Internet Explorer) or Mac (Safari), you are really missing out on the easy breezy page load speed of my new best friend: Google Chrome.

I'm a side-sleeper. After several months of creaking shoulders and a sore neck, I've decided my pillow--or, as we say in my family, "pilla"--is to blame. This is because I refuse to believe I'm getting old.

My hubby is a notoriously fantastic gift-giver and he really outdid himself this year. Behold! Proof that useful geek assessories really do exist! That's right, I'm now the proud owner of headphone ear muffs AND gloves with deliberate texting "holes." 

Jealous? No worries. You can get your own practical winter goodies at UrbanOutfitters.com.

However, you can't get as geeked-out as I am in this picture without lots and lots of practice. And eggnog.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like Periodic Table fridge magnets.

Some of you just performed the skeptical eye squint. Others have just purchased a set and are now giddy with excitement. To each their own.

You know how much I love me some Google. Folks are asking me all the time about "how to Google" things. At first, I wondered, how could one NOT know how to Google? Turns out, a lot of folks aren't sure. Never fear -- Google has a kickin' YouTube page with 15-second tutorials; like this one on how to check your flight status:
