Let’s go get it

January 29, 2009 by Annie

“A lot of the core of our songs is the American idea: What is it? What does it mean? ‘Promised Land,’ ‘Badlands,’ I’ve seen people singing those songs back to me all over the world. I’d seen that country on a grass-roots level through the ’80s, since I was a teenager. And I met people [...]

A Lesson Learned Via Server Logs & Twitter

January 29, 2009 by Annie

Last night I was going through my server logs for Pixel Currents, curious to see who was visiting the site and how they found it. I noticed a few people had clicked through from a couple twitter accounts belonging to people I don’t know, so of course I headed over to Twitter to see what [...]

Volunteer Personalities

January 22, 2009 by Annie

Over the years I’ve volunteered here and there (not quite as much as my husband, of course.) President Obama has issued a “call to service” encouraging volunteerism, which is nice. But as my tenure as treasurer for our Cub Scout pack draws to a close (my youngest graduates to Boy Scouts in March) and I [...]

Tweeting Obama’s Speech

January 21, 2009 by Annie

As we celebrated the Inauguration of President Obama (love typing that…) yesterday I, of course, was hanging out on Twitter. During his speech I was moved a couple times to grab a quote and post it. “restore science to it’s rightful place” WOOO! and “our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.” I quickly [...]

They came from California, Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and even England. They flew to one of the coldest places in the USA just to hang out. [...]

Picasa for Mac is (finally!) here

January 5, 2009 by Annie

Giving the Nokia 6650 a spin

January 5, 2009 by Annie

I was given temporary custody of a Nokia 6650 on AT&T over the past couple of weeks. I uploaded some photos to Nokia Chronicles (find me under Chapter 5) and gave it a little test drive. It’s a solid phone. It has a 2mp camera, video (although no live streaming like an N95), and what [...]

Paper and pencil

January 2, 2009 by Annie

I’ve tried so many tools and methods to get and stay organized I’ve lost track of them all. Generally, I get all my crap set up just the way I like… then I get distracted an forget about it, or realize I’ve gone and made things much more complicated than they need to be. Last [...]
