How can I access my Bookmarks or Favorites from any computer?

There are so many times when I’m working on a computer that is NOT my own and I want to get to some website that I have bookmarked (set as a ‘favorite’) on my computer. Worse still if you work primarily on public computers and can’t save your own set of bookmarks at all. Maybe […]

Managing Photos and Video – it is soooo not my ‘thing’

Just so you know, managing photos and videos are really NOT my ‘thing’, yet questions on these items tend to generate a bunch of questions by readers of my blog. Honestly, my solution is ‘let someone else do it’, but that’s not really offering useful advice now, is it? I don’t think that ignoring the […]

Get tired of your desktop background (wallpaper)?

When you spend as much time behind your computer as I do, sometimes you just want to do something ‘fun’ with your computer…I don’t mean ‘fun’ as in playing games (well, maybe YOU want to do that, but it’s just not my thing). By ‘fun’, I mean spicing up your computer with ‘funner’ things than […]

Thank you, Steve Jobs!

I never thought that I would feel moved to do this, but I have to write a brief note here to honor the life of Steve Jobs. I know that the media is overkilling his passing (no pun intended), but honestly, our world today looks like it does because of him. Many of us have […]

Want to set up Word with YOUR default Fonts and settings?

Ah…Microsoft Office…love it or hate it, for many of us, it is a way of life. Part of that life, of course, includes Microsoft Word for all things document or, ahem, ‘word’ related (sorry, I saw the pun coming off of my fingers as I began typing and just had to leave it in there). […]

How do I avoid getting bitten by a computer ‘bug’?

It seems like every day brings a new rash of evil-doers on the virtual highway. Steering clear of the bad guys can sometimes feel like a full-time job, but there are a few tricks you can use to protect yourself with little effort. FIRST AND FOREMOST, make sure that you have anti-virus/anti-spam/anti-malware security software installed […]

Password Management…grrrrr…but, ya gotta do it!

I know, I know…no one likes to think about Password Management, nor do they like to think of how vulnerable their information might be using weak and/or the same passwords on many sites. Just thinking of this issue raises my blood pressure and nerves several levels! It just feels so unwieldy. I don’t know about […]

Getting more accurate results from your Google searches

Sorry for the tardy post, but it’s been a busy couple of weeks…where do I begin…first, I had an emergency reconstruction of my laptop. Yes, my 5-year-old Lenovo finally bit the dust. While it caused a bit of a scramble, I lost NO DATA because I had it all well backed up – in several […]

Are you bored in TSA lines when traveling through airports? Off-Topic? Not really.

At first, this post seems to be way off-topic – but really, its not! Believe it or not, we have something to learn from a creative approach to an annoying problem – airport security lines and the TSA explanation of what we can/can not do as we approach the ‘dreaded’ screening point. As we deal […]

Can you create a shortcut to auto-paste your email address onto the clipboard?

Back in May, I wrote about ways to create your own keyboard shortcuts (Click here to see that post). A reader of that post posed the following question: Do you know how to create another type of shortcut? I want to have my email address entered with a Ctrl + something. Normally, I don’t post […]
