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: Driving with Google
Google maps is a great application and one that pretty much everyone already has on their phone. But did you know that most people don’t really use it? I don’t know why… It’s honestly pretty cool to use. My favorite thing about Google Maps is the Explore Nearby. I love to use it when I am in a new town or just want to see something new in my own city.

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…

In 2011 Apple decided that having the ability to have multiple devices means that you need to have to ability to get your notifications on all of these devices.

The laptop is supposed to come with Ubuntu already installed on it. Now I am not a computer tech but I am looking into the A+ Certification. Did you know there are questions about Linux on there?

I borrowed a computer that doesn’t work from a friend…
