3 hours ago Whenever I check my Facebook page I notice that the entries are pretty predictable. My younger "friends" post party pictures and updates on their social life. Parents with young kids post a lot of pictures of the children while my older friends post comments on the weather or their travels.A study by Stephen Wolfram found that Facebook topics do change with age. See if these age/topic correlations relate to you.
2 weeks ago There have been two occasions recently where I have witnessed a tractor trailer lumbering up my street, a dead end with a very limited turnaround. When I questioned the drivers as they began backing down the street they said "I was just following my GPS and it said Walmart was up here". Nope, it's one street over. He is not alone. Check out these poor souls who followed their GPS to disaster.

April 1, 2013 Let's face it, just about everybody with a computer has a Facebook page. If you yourself could care less then one of your kids has probably set one up for you. Assuming you visit it--at least on occasion--how much time do you spend perusing the "information" contained therein? A WebPro.com survey found that the average American spends 33 minutes a day on 14 visits which adds up to, well, a lot of time. How much?
March 12, 2013 When you think of all of the technological advances we have now, what will they come up with next? Apparently, scientists and engineers are already working on some very futuristic products that could be available within 10 years.
March 12, 2013 There are certain hand gestures that everybody knows. A thumbs down means no or not good. Scribbling in the air at a restaurant indicates to your server that you want the check. And then there is the pinkie and thumb to your mouth and ear that says, "Call me". Now that pinkie and thumb gesture could mean that person is actually calling someone thanks to Bluetooth Handset Gloves.
March 7, 2013 If you've done any cross-country or international air travel, landing in different time zones can wreak havoc with your sleep cycle. Now, Delta Airlines has a new "Photon Shower" that it claims can help cure jet leg.

Working from home gives people like working moms and dads the flexibility to do their job while maintaining a "stay at home" environment for their small children.
