Gettin’ it together: Mint.com

If you are like me, you’ve spent your entire adult years not really having a clue where all the money goes each month.  You know the bills get paid, you know how much you have left for groceries and miscellaneous stuff, but you just never really got down to the nitty gritty of budgeting and [...]

Evernote: My New Favorite Organizational Tool

Evernote!
I heard of this several months ago when an iPhone app came out for it, but only as recently as 2 weeks ago decided to give it a try.  I must say, I’m loving it.  I can clip web pages to remember later, make voice notes with my phone, create todo lists (although I still [...]

Microsoft Windows 7 Beta

I swore I was not going to do this, but as we speak I’m downloading the Microsoft Windows 7 Beta to test out and see if they are finally making any strides to a better operating system.  I am currently using XP on both of my machines, but only because Linux just doesn’t do it [...]

Google Reader

I’m a huge fan of Google Reader (Google’s web-based RSS feed reader), and I use it religiously every day, all throughout the day. I’ve tried to suggest it to various people before, but usually get greeted with blank looks that suggest I am not making myself clear.
