So Long Netflix

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008
Netflixlogo In a previous blog post Netflix Short Changes Mac Users, I reported that Mac users were being shortchanged membership privileges that only PC users were able to access. Specifically, online movie viewing. Mind you that both PC and Mac users pay the… Read More

Unique Christmas Gifts

Monday, December 10th, 2007
Champ_2 Sometimes I’m at a loss about what to buy people for Christmas. My dad pretty much has everything he needs (and wants) and he’s not the only person I struggled with this year insofar as gift giving. This year I personalized seveeral gifts, making my dad, and my friend Gloria, photography books of their favorite subjects. My dad loves animals, particularly… Read More

Netflix Short Changes Mac Users

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007
Netflixlogo During the summer, I finally broke down and decided to give Netflix a try. While 98% of my TV watching has come from iTunes, with a small portion coming from abc.com, I have friends who subscribe to Netflix and enjoy the convenience of getting movies in the mail. Overall, I have liked the Netflix service.… Read More

iCrime Wave?

Sunday, October 14th, 2007
Recently, I read an article about the iCrime Wave published by The Urban Institute. I got a bit of a chuckle. REALLY folks, any new gadget is a target for theft, so why they focused on the iPod is really beyond me (OK, lots of people DO own them, but there are still a lot of people who have yet to discover the bliss of owning an iPod). You can buy an iPod for under a hundred bucks if you really want one (no need to steal one). But I know that isn’t the point. And on the note of NOT getting the point is the Urban article. I would really be… Read More

Dear Verizon

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007
Verizonlogo It's never a god idea to harbor ill feelings, because usually I find such feelings raise no one's blood pressure but my own. But sometimes, as a consumer, it feels really good to kick a company where it hurts the most: their revenue stream! No cell phone service provider is perfect. I've never heard anyone say they love their cell phone… Read More

Apple: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Sunday, August 19th, 2007
Apple_4 Girls just wanna have fun! Apple, Inc. (formerly Apple Computer) makes some of the coolest hardware and software available. The products are sexy (for a lack of a better term) and the software is fun and easy to use. Apple has something for everyone. For people who are newer to computing (like my parents) they were… Read More

About Me

Monday, August 6th, 2007
Kat_2 Here are 10 things about me that you might find interesting, unique, or maybe just eccentric. 1) I don’t like talking on the telephone (admittedly, I make more exceptions since I’ve gotten an iPhone), but I do love to chat online! I’m quite the multi-tasker. I can have multiple windows open and still take care of business. There was a time when I used to… Read More

iPhone: iSneer No More

Monday, July 30th, 2007
Iphone_2 In a matter of days, I have gone from being a person who sneers at people for using cell phones and other high priced gadgets in nice restaurants, to actually behaving like one of those people! It’s embarrassing to admit. I’ve never quite understood people who feel compelled to chat while walking through a crosswalk. Or the guy (or gal) who holds… Read More
