Speed up, Slow Poke!

First, let me say that as an employee for a MAJOR internet company who works in tech support. I'm constantly having to walk someone through taking the necessary steps to do some spring cleaning for their computers. Today, I had to do it again with my partner. He needed me to email him the steps to take so that he could pass on the information to

Nerdy Cinema: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE

Our good friends over at Big Fan Boy originally published this review. Go check out their site, because they are awesome! As I’m just now getting my hearing back and my heart has finally stopped racing, I guess it is as good of a time as any to nail down my thoughts on the newest TWILIGHT SAGA movie. It may be too ambitious for me to jump

NerdyPerv Tech: Time for some Windows spring cleaning!

Over the years, I’ve come to both love and hate Windows. When I used XP, I constantly felt like bashing my head through a wall. After Vista, I was completely happy. Then came the Service Pack 2 release and the wish for self inflicted violence came back. Now there is Windows 7 and, with time, I’m sure it will bring on its own set of

NerdyPerv Tech: Anti-Virus? Yes, you need it!

In the world of the cyber criminal, the rest of us often forget just how at risk we are. We don’t realize that our computers are considered lucrative targets by those who would take advantage of our vulnerabilities. Most people think that if they aren’t wealthy or if they don’t have assets worth taking then they are safe. They think that

Trailer Time: KANE

The good people at Singletree Productions make some hilarious films. I had the chance to meet Mark Potts and Brand Rackley during their stay in Dallas for the 2010 Dallas International Film Festival where they were showing their hairy short FOLLICLE FROLIC. For all my fellow hair lovers, it's pretty sweet. However, the highlight of my time with

NerdyPerv Tech: Medi-USB Bracelet

It isn’t often that I run across a gadget that makes me excited but, today, while at my local drug store; I found the CARE Memory Band. With the popularity of the Livestrong bracelet, everyone seems to be sporting rubber around their wrist for one cause or another. It is no wonder that this style is now being worn instead of traditional

Nerdy Cinema: Sex and the City 2

I’m going to say something that 90% of women my age always say: “I grew up watching ‘Sex and the City.’” It’s not a shocking or even an informative statement, it’s as expected as saying “I drink coffee” or “yes, one day I would like to get married.” The show is a part of our consciousness as women, and therefore it’s a part

Nerdy Cinema: SHREK FOREVER AFTER

Those cool kids over at Gordon and the Whale asked me to guest write a review this week. With their permission I'm also re-posting it here. Check out their site, they are pretty much all that's great in this world. The last few weeks have ushered in the season of summer blockbusters. First we had the record-breaking opening of IRON MAN 2, then

NerdyPerv Tech: I work online

In my last tech article, I tried to present some facts about the possibilities of pursuing career prospects outside of the traditional setting. While the piece did give information, many of you responded by saying that it was outdated and generally uninteresting. After re-reading it, I have to admit that I left something out- the part about

NerdyPerv Tech: Place of Employment? The Internet.

Have you ever looked around at your cubicle and hated it? Have you ever sat in a classroom and wondered how you were ever going to apply that knowledge? Have you ever wished that you had the flexibility to do a job you loved during hours that were convenient for you? If so, I have a suggestion. Work for yourself. While earning my
