Technical Tuesday: What is Juice Jacking and How do you stop it.
Are you a person who travels a lot or even a little? If so then please for your own safety keep reading. Juice Jacking is when you plug your phone into a public charging station using either the cord provided to you or the cord that you brought with you. Either way, the public charging station then installs a small piece of malware on your phone and BAMM you are hacked. Now, this hacking is not the fault of the company that provided you the charging station (they were just trying to be nice). This hacking is done by a person who is probably miles away and is lurking on…

Technical Tuesday: 5 Steps To Take When You Think You Have Been Hacked.
A long time ago… I was personally hacked. This person got ahold of one of my passwords and he/she used it to access a lot of information. I got mad. Why would someone do this? What did I do that allowed them to gain that information? How could I stop this in the Future? So, I started reading every data policy I encountered… Hence the extensive knowledge that led to What do our Data Policies really say? This also made me extremely aware of my bank accounts and transactions and any vulnerable information. Believe me there is a lot out there. In fact, one of the biggest security flaws in…

Technical Tuesday: What is a Web Browser?
Do you remember the time of clicking the AOL Web browser and seeing the little yellow man running across the screen? Or the time spent sitting waiting for that picture to appear line by line? I Do. And it is pretty amazing how far we have come in the last 15 years. The internet used to be a novelty but now everyone has it. Even our pets have their own social media accounts. We even had to create a digital storage that exist inside the Internet called the Cloud, because we like to save things so often. He Looked like this. But what is a web browser and how do…

10 of my favorite Geeky Songs to help you get up and move!
Yesterday I was feeling kind of lethargic and didn’t want to do anything. This happens to also be my vacation time from work, so I guess that’s kind of normal. But heading into the holidays I don’t have the time to be sitting on my ass accomplishing absolutely NOTHING! So I started thinking about the things that make me want to get up and get shit done. Which led to this list of Geeky Songs. A little back story… I grew up with a very musical family. But I can’t sing a single note. In fact when I sing it sounds like a cow dying and I am okay with…

What could you do with Any.do? -An App Review.
This is not a sponsored post. I do not have a relationship with this company in any way other than trying their free trial of the Any.do App. All opinions and actions are my own. In my quest of life, it’s my main goal to stay organized. Since I don’t have my own Pepper Potts, I am stuck using my phone and planner. Now normally I stay fairly organized. I am a pain in the butt about everything having its own home and being put back after it’s used. Mostly so that when I go to look for it again, It’s there. But I have trouble writing things down in…

Technical Tuesday: Microsoft Word as part of Office 365
As part of Office 365, you get Microsoft Word which will be the first topic we’re covering in our Office 365 series this month. Microsoft Word is one of the programs that I believe is the most versatile of all the programs that you receive with this subscription. The reason I say this is because you can do so many different things with this one program. It allows you to create anything from resumes to novels. Microsoft Word also connects with every other program available with Office 365. (You can learn all about office 365 here.) Allowing you to change programs if needed or to use multiple programs to complete…
