Mac Lion OS, iCloud, Quicken, 3 Computers & 4 Mobile Devices. Oh My!

So this is one of those posts. [A tech one.]

I know, I know, most of you don’t care. But remember: my tag line is “the dichotomous life of a Mac Geek Farm Girl.” To know me is to love me? And Macs are a big slice. I must feed the beast.

I left Lion to [...]

    How I solved my Macbook Air battery problem

    my new friend

    Just a quickie to let you know — if you didn’t already — how brilliant I am.

    I made an appointment at the genius bar to bring my new Macbook Air in to have the battery looked at, since I couldn’t seem to squeeze more than a couple hours out of it.

    I’d googled “Macbook [...]

      Why the MacBook Air is the “Tablet” for Me!

      my new friend

      Crazy times call for crazy measures.

      I bought an 11″ Macbook Air last week. I just did it. I researched and backed away. I made the rational decision to “wait.” Then I went back to work.

      Then, before I could stop myself, I was researching some more…

      The funniest part of the whole episode [...]

        We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

        asparagus in the dew

        This is Minnesota, folks.

        …Despite those 70 degree October temperatures that somehow, unbelievably, made it in to early November.

        We reveled in it. We wore flip-flops in November! The decadence. The sheer thrill!

        It’s basically what every other state in the nation gets to do on a regular basis, except us. I bet they [...]

          Macro Garden Delights

          I screwed my Canon 52mm Close-Up Lens on to my camera (Canon T1i) today and went out to the garden. I’m too lazy to ever think about a tripod, so I don’t really go about macro photography the correct way. But then, I don’t really go about anything the ‘correct way.’ This is as close [...]

            Free Valentine Cards Output

            I’m a little late for this, but if anyone else is scrambling for a school Valentine Party at their kid’s school tomorrow, here is what I just did.

            You probably won’t think it’s as funny as I do, since they aren’t your animals. But it might do in a pinch!

              Here’s my Vote for Mac and Why

              This is just a blip on my blog map to sing praises for Apple Macintosh computers.

              First, you must understand that I am, indeed, a fanboy (girl). Always have been and always will be. With that out of the way I want to take this opportunity to explain why I finally can stand up with [...]

                Bit the Bullet and Bought Canon T1i

                I researched and obsessed, it’s true. After pulling the trigger, I have small amounts of buyer’s remorse, which is common for me with a high ticket item. Did I really NEED it? Will I really USE it? Is it as GOOD AS the Panasonic Lumix GH1 that I was set on? Time will tell. What [...]

                  INT. DARK HOUSE – NIGHT

                  We move from the dark entry toward a light at the back of the house. Another, dimmer, light glows above us, from somewhere upstairs. We enter a warmly lit office & see three screens, two are lit. A blueish light slowly [...]

                    The Ford Fiesta Movement – The Missing Demographic

                    “Jennie Menke takes Whit Scott’s challenge to enter and win the chance to drive a new Ford Fiesta. She describes herself as “the missing demographic” and laments the fact that — until now — she has been stuck driving a suburban.” So goes the copy I quickly scribbled and posted for all the world [...]
