More geeky than girly.

2017

  • I have never liked ironing clothes. I’d rather just wear my clothes all wrinkled than go through an iron a pile of clothes. And I’ve never been good about folding my clothes right out of the dryer. So one of my favorite things I own is a handheld fabric steamer that I bought exactly 2…

  • I am definitely not one to shop at Anthropologie, but I do secretly love candles, and my current favorite is actually the one they use in their stores- the volcano scent. Apartment Therapy, one of the many websites I read, interviewed a department manager from Anthropologie. Scent is a big part of the shopping experience…

  • Oh my goodness, how did I miss this back in June? I guess Disney tried to hide the Millennium Falcon with a bunch of shipping containers at a Star Wars production location outside London. But you can’t hide from The Google. You can see it fairly clearly on Google Maps.

  • Books, books, books! Amazon released its list of Best Books of 2017, complete with editors’ picks and gift ideas. I’m excited mostly because I’m always looking for book recommendations. As I retweeted Trip Lee: Book recommendations is my love language — Trip Lee (@TripLee) October 31, 2017 Gifts I don’t usually buy books as gifts…

  • So I’m finally giving the Signal messaging app a try. It’s the same messaging app that Edward Snowden uses because it’s currently the most secure platform there is.

  • I saw this Sphero Spider-Man on sale at Amazon. (Sphero is the company that makes those app controlled Star Wars toys.) So I immediately text my friend Myron, who loves all the Spidey things. His response made me chuckle. I’ve got silly friends.

  • Don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop watching this. https://t.co/7giLVrWRrQ

  • I want to watch this movie just because of this.

  • My first try at video. Looks like it was made by a 10 year old. I totally skipped on the actual crab part and the swimming. Definitely need more practice for documenting my travels. 

  • I sell quite a bit locally and online. I use different websites, depending on the item. But Craiglist is my go-to for local transactions. I use the built-in email relay that is supposed to protect your email address and I also use a Google Voice number for text or calls. As soon as I put…

  •   Recently, I had to toss my Klean Kanteen because I didn’t do a good job of cleaning out the coffee that it held all the time. The folks at Urban Hydrofit sent me this Insulated Canteen. Here’s their description from Amazon: The URBAN HYDROFIT 22 OUNCE INSULATED CANTEEN is made from premium gauge 18/8 stainless…
