A few months back, we switched to AT&T U-Verse for TV, seemed like the perfect central DVR solution. I noticed shortly after wards that the internet connection on my Windows 7 (7100 build) would drop for a few seconds randomly. It was not a huge deal only happening once an hour and I suspected the [...]

Low Carb Noodles
A healthy, calorie-restricted diet does not leave a lot of room for pasta, especially low-carb diets. The few times I do eat it, it’s usually carefully portioned whole wheat or whole grain variety. During a Costco shopping spree, I flipped through the Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide and came across a product on [...]

Windows 7 Beta Update
Still running the Windows 7 Beta and liking it a lot more than Vista, my computer is still fast and I’ve had no lock ups. I’ve had no software issues yet, drivers seem to be fine. However, the USB stopped responding after about 5 days of putting t he laptop in suspend mode and waking [...]
Childfree and Less Frazzled
I watched a Dr. Oz special on Discovery Health Channel recently where he accessed lifestyles of individuals, the impact it was having on their health and recommended changes. While looking at one middle-aged woman’s life who was stressed taking care of her mother’s failing health, one of his points really rang home for me. He [...]

Like any good geek girl, I spent most of the lovely-weathered weekend indoors installing and tinkering with [...]

Then, around New Years, the toys are replaced with exercise equipment for those with weight-loss resolutions. For years before setting up a home gym, I was a [...]
Childless Future
Many people fear a top, older (late 50s maybe) female executive I know, she’s very cut-throat, short-tempered and seemingly overall bitter. Though very good at what she does, difficult to work with … kind of like if Ebenezer Scrooge was a woman I suppose. She’s unmarried and I’d always assumed never had kids because there [...]
Eating on the Run
As I was leaving work for lunch, I was cut off by a Porsche leaving McDonalds’ parking lot. “No big”, I thought, “It’s a Porsche and will surely move it, right?” Yeah, wrong! The driver was apparently having problems getting past first gear to get through the intersection and in the left (formally fast) lane [...]
