Technology

I wanted to write something today, but what topic?  Thinking of what I've been trying to accomplish lately TECHNOLOGY seemed to tie it together as well as anything.

I've been trying to tame the computer situation here for about a month or more.  We have about six computers (not all in use).  Emma's old college computer finally gave up the ghost (power supply). We decided not to fix it.  It was replaced by Brooke's laptop.  My desktop computer failed and I bought a bare bones replacement using my old hard drive. All my information was preserved, Whew!
I bought an older desktop from a friend.  It came w/o a hard drive and no DVD.  I had an old Dell sitting on my desk in the side bedroom, that worked but was very out of date.  I finally have a plan to disassemble one of the desk tops and use some of the parts to improve the others.  I'll still have too many computers, but if some progress is made, I sleep better at night.

Another technology matter haunting me, (Oooo, that's my second spiritual reference), is how to upload some video files to Youtube.  There's just a little kink in the process that's been messing it up.  I'm sure Gabe would like to see the pet videos I have for him.  

The other tech issue is a happy surprise from an unexpected place.  I have some stock in a company named ZAGG.  They make accessories to mobile devices like cell phones, MP3 players etc.  They made something called the Zaggmate which protects the Ipad. If you pay extra it comes with a bluetooth keyboard.  It won the best in show award at Macworld just recently.  It was featured on Oprah yesterday.  MC Hammer presented it on her show.  He is a tech-mogul now.  This should help Zagg's sales today.

So, happy Friday.  May the Force be with you.

PS We didn't inherit any money lately.  It all went to charities.  I'm sure they will not embezzle it, not one dime.
