  1. Gone Samplin

    September 29, 2010 by Blondette

    “Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses!”

    The first line of a short story my mom wrote popped into my head this afternoon as I was pondering my new “annoyance” prescription. I am very slightly, like almost non-existently, near sighted. In fact, I was told my main issue is due to muscle fatigue and re-activeness. And you know what causes it? The 8, 10, 12, 14 hours a day I look at a computer screen and/or read a book. My love of nerdery and words is making me blind. I guess I may as well hit up every Passion Party in town!*

    *non-Catholics may not get this joke. It’s okay. We’ll be over here judging you and feeling guilty.

  2. 2010 Technology Goal

    January 16, 2010 by Blondette

    Boy oh boy is this going to be fun. Third time was a charm on the upload of this video. Vimeo took forever to upload and then my audio was WAY our of sync with my video and actually cut of my video. Viddler missed the audio completely! Alas, I tried the big daddy of them all, YouTube.

    I captured the video on my iPhone and copied it to my computer. I tried recording via my computer webcam, but didn’t like it, so I figured I’d give the phone video a change.

  3. More Than a Beauty Queen

    October 31, 2009 by Blondette

    Beauty Queens are notorious for their waves. Well friends, I too can wave. Google Wave that is.

    I now have the power, but I need contacts with which to surf. If you have Wave, I’m kmleas.

    So far, I’m just logged in and playing with extensions and have sent one wave to my inviter. I call it Kiddie Pool.

  4. Oh Crap My Hard Drive

    March 8, 2009 by Blondette

    I have a fairly large, partitioned hard drive in my desktop computer.

    I had some issues yesterday that caused my computer to felt down- OH WAIT, NO I DIDN’T! All I tried to do was “browse” for an image that I was planning to upload to Twitter so people wouldn’t have to look at my feet and so I could have some “brand” unity between my blog and my Twitter account.

    So, I did the old tricks of restarting (which it wouldn’t do) and hard restarting (aka, hold down the power button for approximately 10 seconds until the computer turns off.) I let it rest for a night and then booted up this morning. Only, Windows didn’t boot the first time. So, I reset. On attempt #2, Windows booted. The scans ran and all was fine.

    Er, not.

    Now all of my partitioned hard drives–you know the place where all my pictures and writing is stored– are showing up like this:

    IT WAS FORMATTED YESTERDAY!

    IT WAS FORMATTED YESTERDAY!

    *sigh* This is going to take effort to resolve. *double sigh*
