Skype!

We're finally up and running on Skype now. So if you want to chat with me (or Kevin or Harry), leave a comment, send an email, or call me the old-fashioned way. You know: with your cell phone.

Thank You, Fill In the Blank

Thank you, my little Dell, for holding it together these past seven years to serve my word processing, photo editing, and internet needs.

Thank you, Federal Government, for sending my refund so quickly.

Thank you, computer salesman, for not making me feel like an idiot, and for not laughing when I told you the age and state of my computer.

Thank you, Dad, for coming over today so I could transfer the essentials onto a flash drive, and for taking Harry on laps of the store while I shopped for my new computer.

That's right, Dear Reader: all future posts will be courtesy of my fancy new computer!

Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

My household has just caught up with technology from 2004: we have a DVR.

Tired of seeing endless DirecTv commercials offering a free DVR receiver and three free months of HBO/Cinemax to new customers, my husband sent a cordial email to customer service, and within seven days we had a techinician in our living room. I guess it pays to send checks on time every month for five years!

We're recording more movies than we can possibly watch, and I have a real fear that we're going to use all 100 available hours of storage. Today's offerings from HBO/Cinemax being recorded for future viewing pleasure: Singles, The Notorious Bettie Page, and Drop Dead Fred.
