Our home computer crashed on Wednesday. It took me 20 hours of painstaking, stressful, ready to give up effort before I finally fixed it, loaded everything back, and could walk away. Moral of the story: I hate windows. This is the third time this machine has totally crashed in the last 5 years. The first […]
Why I love Evernote and Am Now Paperless
Again, we have to thank my favorite author Tim Ferriss for this one. In February of 2009 I came across a piece of information put out by Tim, toting his use of the software program, Evernote, and how much it has helped him become more organized while also reducing clutter.

How to get absolutely free ringtones

My Customized Daily Schedule, compliment’s to Benjamin Franklin.
I stumbled upon the blog “Can Do – And the Pursuit of Happiness” @tferriss and became pretty obsessed with testing Benjamin Franklin’s daily ritual. I came close to following it a few days, but struggled most with waking at 5 and bedding by 10. Today, I printed Ben’s Daily Schedule and created my own for […]
I enjoy writing programs
A few new things. I’m planning on learning javascript. It’s a programming language for computers, and a great way for me to get my foot in the door in computing- which is what I’m most passionate about (aside from performing and writing music). I plan to teach myself, of course, online at w3schools.com and get […]
Free Work vs. Interning
Found some interesting reads the other day; a new approach to getting the job you want outside of college. The advantages of doing free work vs. an internship. With free work, you have more freedom of choice and more control over the work you do. Yes, it’s unpaid, but the relationship you establish and the […]
