March 18, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Over the past few years, many of my family and friends have become proud owners of an eReader; but I had always shied away from them, I actually never felt I would like one.

February 8, 2013 by · 12 Comments
The pesky malware warning that has plagued my site for almost a week is finally gone! I'm not sure of the origin of the warning but it may have been linked to a Plug-In I installed just prior to my site crashing. I want to say a huge thank-you to Aeryn over at A Geek With Style who went above and beyond, on her Saturday evening, to fix my poor broken site! She patiently answered all my questions in a sweet, kind and professional manner, she is one in a million and without her help I'm … [Read more...]
