Technical Tuesday: What do our data policies really say?
I was watching the news last night and saw an article that featured people who were shocked and appalled that Facebook could sell their information and these same people claimed that they were not informed that Facebook could do this. Me, being the reader at heart that I am. I went ahead and read the whole Data Policy along with the Terms and Conditions. You can find both here. This Data Policy is for Facebook and Instagram. Through out the entire text it says that it is used for both Facebook and Instagram. Considering that Facebook owns Instagram this is no surprise. Now… For the Disclaimer… I am NOT a…

Why I love The Sims.
Long ago there was a game on the computer that was simply called The Sims. Since that time long ago the world has made many versions of this game and I have to say that I love them all.

Technical Tuesday: Make your computer as fast as a Gazelle.
If your a lot like me you have a ton of photos and documents on your computer. Whether it be a Laptop or a Desktop, they all need to be cleaned out every once in a while. And while its easy to just click the recycle bin and be done that’s not going to actually clean your computer up or make it run any faster. First things First… I am NOT a Computer Technician! I worked for a company that repaired computers, but only as an administrative assistant. I do not have an A+ Certification or any of those Certifications. I have done work to my own Laptop because I…

Fandom Friday: Yu-Gi-Oh-Finding the Heart of the Cards
So when I was a little girl I would see the commercials for Yu-Gi-Oh on Saturday morning cartoons and I would just turn off the TV when the show came on and go on with my day. So while my boyfriend and I were cleaning his closet at the beginning of our relationship we stumbled upon books of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I made fun of him for having all these cards and for liking the show. In return for this teasing, he convinced me to watch the entire first season. Now as you know if you have been reading this blog for a while, I love anime. I also love…
