Ack! Technology

March 13, 2024

I was a Math and Science major in college, and spent a good deal of my career as a project manager for technical projects. Hah, you would think that using technology would be second nature to me. Well, not quite. Hello, hello. Can anyone hear me? I remember the first time I was using my […]

Beware of WordPress spammers and AI bots

July 12, 2023

WordPress and Akismet do a great job of capturing the most egregious spam comments, but some do manage to slip through. The latest is AI bots crawling the web and making spam comments. I fell prey to this scheme. The comments sounded innocuous enough but they kept coming! An AI chatbot is a computer program […]

Geeks, geeks and more geeks

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this. The other day I came downstairs and hear Mr. Ken talking to his twin brother. Except he was holding his phone and had earphones on and was using the earphones to talk with his brother. I wonder if he used an NDSI card in those earphones? Sigh, […]

My dear Mr. Ken loves donuts and chipmunks. He also loves technology. He claims to never have had a pocket protector, but I know better. There must be one floating around our house somewhere. The other day, he was in his office, very focused on his computer screen. I asked him a question and no […]

Sir Oliver, Sir Angus and Toby are very concerned about their beloved Queen’s health after hearing that she tested positive for COVID. They wish they were back home so they could cheer her up! They decided that the second best thing would be to post this photo on Nancy’s blog and hope that it goes […]

In my last blog I wrote about my most favorite DIY project – building my own desktop computer. In this blog I thought I’d stay in the technology arena but have some fun talking about the sea change that has occurred during my lifetime in the world of technology, especially the technology behind phones, television […]

My most favorite DIY project is…

I’ve done a lot of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects over the years but one stands out as being my all time favorite. It’s probably given me more satisfaction than any other project. My all time favorite DIY project was building my own desktop computer! In fact I’m using it to write this blog! I’ve been involved […]

A kind word can do wonders

We all are a bit stressed these days. Hah – that’s an understatement. So I decided to bite the bullet and schedule some health screenings that I had put off because of COVID. Yes, I was very nervous about going into the hospital. I still picture millions of COVID germs floating around in the air […]

Hah – I feel vindicated!

Comments Off on Hah – I feel vindicated!

Yes, so I grew up with technology and thought I was quite comfortable with it. That is until the Smartphone arrived. I still am amazed that the computing power of a phone is greater than that of the first computer, which was the size of a first floor in a house! I had my phone […]

The medical record quagmire

August 14, 2019

Computer records can be a lot neater than paper records, that’s for sure. I understand the push for medical records to be online. Except, for me, there have been several VERY annoying consequences. 1. The doctor spends his/her time looking at the computer screen and not at me while asking me questions. Am I really […]
