What is the thing in life you treasure most?
Happiness
What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
In college, I messaged back an forth on Unix with my friend and his girlfriend who were sitting on the bed...behind me. We did this for about an hour.

I had a 2.5 hour discussion on transporter technology and whether or not you were the same on the other side, if you would realize it, and if it would really matter if you didn't realize it. That same week I had a 2 hour discussion on which Star Trek captain was best and why.
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Play with my dog, play video games, read Twitter, Facebook, and watch Youtube.

Technology is the bomb!

Posted on July 16, 2009 at 12:18am 7 Comments

I'm not going to go into how long it has been since I was born, but I remember black and white tvs with big knobs that you had to change manually, holding the antenna in just the right position so the picture is clearer, rotary phones, cassette tapes, and music records. I can tell you how many baud a modem is by listening to the connection sequence. The first time I surfed the web, it was a short ride because there wasn't much there.



Now, here I am, writing something that, if they… Continue

Will the iPhone change my life? - 2

Posted on July 2, 2009 at 1:22am 12 Comments

Ok so it's 4 and a half days since I started using the iPhone. I use my phone quite a bit and this is definitely a change from my Samsung Black Jack II with Windows Mobile 6. I had that phone for over 2 years and I'm very proficient with it. I'm Alice in Wonderland with a Mac...everything is strange and doesn't make sense and Chris Pirillo is the grinning Chesire Cat trying to give me directions, but it sounds like riddles and rhymes. I was some what concerned that this would be the same for… Continue

Will the iPhone change my life? - 1

Posted on June 29, 2009 at 1:00am 7 Comments

I've been very happy with my Samsung Blackjack II phone with WinMobile 6.0. However, as I attended more and more Tweetups, I realized that I was missing the ease of a touch device. I heard that the iPhone does this the best right now and it made me curious. Now that I am able to borrow one for a couple of months, we'll see what's with all the chatter over this Apple device. I really like the Shuffle, but I could care less about an iPod...my Zune was free and I really really like it. So that… Continue

What I love about Geek boys and tips for all Geek boys from a Geek girl

Posted on June 1, 2009 at 1:00am 46 Comments

I love Geeks. I love how you're passionate about the things you're into. I love it when you talk Geeky to me and when you have a strong handle on the English language. I love it when you can keep up with my banter, sarcasm, and play on words. And when you get my obscure Geek references. I love your brains and how intelligent you are...how contemplating the inner-workings of the mind is as normal as contemplating what to eat for lunch. I love how you love to learn. I love how you'll watch all of… Continue

Star Trek Movie (BEWARE: Spoilers)

Posted on May 25, 2009 at 9:30pm 23 Comments

When I first heard about the Star Trek movie, I cringed a bit. It took me a while to adjust to the new Battle Star series and, though I did end up enjoying it, it was difficult to see them change one of my childhood loves. But, I heard that it was fun so I entered the theatre with an open mind.



The movie started with a bang. Get into the action right away and grab everyone's attention...the way of Hollywood. Gotta do something to grab the non-geeks since they already have a handle on… Continue
