MyFaceSpaceBook?

Okay, so I’m not even going to consider getting a MySpace space… I am not nor, nor do I believe I ever was, a Tween!

…BUT…

In YOUR OPINION, should I sing up for a FaceBook account? If so, Why? If not, why? Please elborate.

My New Bestest Friend

…or maybe not?

TV-INTROS, where all we care about is how the show starts.

Somehow I suspect my hard drive is going to suffer, space-wise!

How Green is YOUR Valley?

This was presented to me as Corporate Rah-Rah, but since I am already a couple of thousand Green Acts ahead just from my personal habits and life philosophy, I thought I would share it with you.

One Million Acts of Green

It reminds me of the party we once hosted at Cedar Grove. People were coming up to me in the kitchen after eating, wondering where “The Garbage” was. I told them: “We don’t DO Garbage in this house!” Food scraps and paper napkins were put into the Green Bin. Plastic plates, cups, and cutlery were either washed for reuse or put into the Blue Bin. There really wasn’t anything else to deal with. Unfortunately, I don’t think many of the Garbage Seekers understood what was going on!

How secure are you?

Here is my Important Tip of the Day:

“Your online accounts, computer files, and personal information are more secure when you use strong passwords to help protect them.”

You can use the Microsoft Password Checker to test the strength of your passwords.

There is absolutely no connection to you personally (except your IP address, which the internet already has access to because you are using a browser!). All it does it tell you whether the string of characters you type would make a strong password or not.

The page also gives some advice on what makes a strong password, and a link to a tips page on how to come up with a strong password.

Thaks to Bill Pytlovany (aka BillP) in his WinPatrol blog for this tip. P.S. If you aren’t running WinPatrol, you really, really should be!

I don’t like Mondays!!

Today isn’t going so well. I blame the weather and the time zone change!

B-R-C was driving this morning, and we happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, resulting in being Third Party to a Collision… again!!! Well, there goes Trinity’s resale value!! Fortunately there was minimal (visible) damage, and we weren’t hurt. But it did take an hour out of our day, and now I have the aggrevation of having to deal with the stupid insurance company and the body shop and so on…

The week can only get better, right?!

I’m SO EXCITED!!

I just found out that CONVERGENCE 15 will be held in LONG BEACH, Califorication, and will take place July 17-20, 2009!

“We invite you to join us for a fantastic weekend with friends aboard the Queen Mary, a world-famous, haunted, art deco ocean liner in one of California’s most vibrant and diverse cities, Long Beach.”

Do you have ANY idea what this means?

It means that B-R-C will be able to attend because it won’t take place during the “School Year”!!!

I’m so excited I just peed my pants!!!!! 😎

Okay, peeps! Let’s start making plans to get together again!! It’s been waaaaay too long since I’ve done anything gothy!

Maybe vote Red instead of Green?

A friend of ours (who also happens to have been my Grade 8 teacher in a previous life cycle) sent this to me:


How can you best help our environment?

By voting for the candidate in your riding whose party is most likely to protect it, and who has the strongest chance of being elected in your area.
