Mobile Tech in Action
This weekend, I’m attending my second Dallas WordCamp, a local event that showcases not just the amazing WordPress blogging system, but things you can do to make you a better blogger, designer, and community builder. I attended my first WordCamp last year and I had an absolute blast. I felt very at home in an auditorium full of mostly techy geeks–many of them even geekier than me in some ways! I sat in a sea of mostly MacBooks and MacBook …
Pimping my Mini (already)

I have taken to poring over the My Dell Mini forums for tips, tricks, and planning my Hackintosh netbook journey in …
Trading up from the Eee PC
Before too long, I am going to be saying goodbye to my precious Eee PC 701 netbook. I can still remember how excited I was when the delivery guy brought it into my office and I opened it for the first time–it was so SMALL! It has served me well for a little over a year, but it is time for me to upgrade to something that fits my needs a little bit better. Honestly, if I had known how …
