Fake Sick If You Want To, But…

This is not the economy to be trying to get over at the J-O-B.  I amazed at the number of people who play Russian Roulette with their jobs with social media and general carelessness Didn’t you get the memo?  Don’t give your boss an excuse to fire you.  Don’t give your adversary the nails to [...]

10 Things Black Girls Do

Interestingly trending on Twitter was #thingblackgirlsdo. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But decided to take a look at the trending topic. What I saw was not so much good, too much bad, and a hell of a lot of ugly. So the black girl in me wanted to change the conversation to something [...]

Question of the Day: How Much is Too Much? Sharing on Social Media

Interesting survey from Lawyers.com (h/t @youngmoney) on the oversharing of personal information on social media.  I’m all for sharing, but I wonder how much is too much.  I tend to be much more conservative than my peers when it comes to sharing my personal information on social media – unless I think it can be helpful to someone. But [...]

I took it with me everywhere, mostly to listen to slow jam tapes I used to make when I was young. Yet another sign I’m growing old: Sony just announced it is discontinuing production of [...]

Cell Phone Pet Peeves Just In Time for Cell Phone Courtesy Month

Okay, my cell phone pet peeves are many. But top on the list is being forced to listen to a one-sided conversation, having to listen to some ghetto fabulous ring tone, and being interrupted by ringing phones and text message notifications in the middle of a movie. I’ll admit I am liable for the occasional [...]

Google Voice for Everyone!

I love my Google Voice phone number.  It allows me a business number without the expense of an additional line.  It has become invaluable as a business tool for those of us on budgets!  You’re able to pick your area code and Google Voice will generate a phone number complete with a voice mail box.  [...]

Texting and Driving: Not Just the Kids

Parents: You’re setting a bad example when it comes to texting and driving.  Adults are just as bad as teenagers when it comes to texting.  According to a Pew Research Center study, 47 percent of adults who text said they have read or sent messages while driving.  That compares with 34 percent of texting teens.

Indulge Me: My New iPad

Please indulge me. This post serves no useful purpose except for me to send my first blog post from my iPad. This is actually really cool and I probably shouldn’t be this excited about something that plugs in the wall. But, such is life. I have literally had this thing for less than two hours [...]
