IT Pen Junkie!

Yes, as I mentioned earlier this week, I’m a Bag junkie.  But then I realized this, I’m a Pen junkie too.  I’m very loyal when it comes to Pens and I like very specific styles.  My favorite pens come from a company called “Retro 51”.  I specifically like their Tornado Poppers. The pens write incredibly […]

Why so French???

Those of you who know me know that I’m very partial to France and the French in general.  But I’m not sure if anyone really knows why. First off, I’m very partial to the European style of living.  They take time to enjoy the things that are important, really important. The cuisine is incredible!  I […]

Good Job Amazon!

I’m in IT, books and Google are just part of my life.  I subscribe to Safari Books Online because and I use it a lot.  I’ve got both a Kindle and my iOS devices and I have books across both.  But one in awhile there are books that I want to own.  I call/categorize these as […]

Dear LinkedIn, you suck!

I’m at work today and I get a notification from LinkedIn.  It was from someone who used to work at my company who I knew but didn’t work that much with.  Any way, the endorsement was from them and they endorsed me on my “Visio” skills.  LOL  Now I know that LinkedIn presents people to […]

Unique Games…

“It’s happening all around you. They aren’t coming. They’re already here.” I was introduced to Ingress (ingress.com) a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed.  First, I was amazed that I hadn’t heard of this.  Second, I was amazed because they took game play to another level.  Think capture the flag, with a lot more […]

IT Bag Junkie!

What can I say, I love bags.  I’m in touch with my feminine side and believe that our accessories define who we are and represent us.  All along I’ve always picked out bags that are unique and represent me.  Some bags cost more and some are really inexpensive… but they are all me.  Some of […]

How’s it going with no Facebook?

A few months ago I announced to my FB friends that I would stop using FB.  I was simply burnt out on it and I didn’t know why.  I have a memorial site for my wife who passed away, so I’ve stopped in to post some things on that but nothing for me.  The one exception […]

Disney and the DVC

Just got back from Disney World and had a wonderful trip.  If you go then you will see kiosks and setups for the Disney Vacation Club (DVC).  So what is it?  Basically it’s Disney’s timeshare.  If you buy points, you can use them to stay at Disney Resorts, Disney owned locations, Disney’s Cruise Line, and […]

Hannah and her prying eyes….

I was sitting with my (8) year old she asked me if I quit Facebook.  I was caught a little bit off-guard because it’s not something I told or would tell her.  After all, she’s eight and not on Facebook.  So I asked her how she knew that.  She replied, I saw it on CarlosRandolph.com… […]

Heated bed for PrintrBot Simple

So a month or so ago I purchased a Simple (kit) from Printrbot.  Built it and it has been great!  The one thing I didn’t like was blue printers tape everytime and that the printout really stuck were “interesting” to remove. I was on Printrbot’s site and saw they had a heatbed upgrade for $30 […]
