I have a Motorola Razr, and no accessories for it, except the charger it came with. I know, I know, I’m giving geeks everywhere a bad name! And as many times as I’ve dropped the darn phone, I should have looked at cell phone cases for it LONG ago. The accessory I need the most is a car charger. I forget to charge my phone at home, and it stays in my purse – out of sight, out of mind. Jim will put it on the charger for me from time to time, but I’ve had my phone die on my a few times when I’ve been out and about. Since it...

Only time will tell. But I wanted to point out that when I checked my PR on http://livepr.ezer.com/url/ tonight, another data center was showing a zero for me. Previously, DC 14 and DC 18 returned a 0 when I checked, and now DC 16 has joined them. I’m going to be watching it over the next few days to see if anything else changes. I’m ready for this PR update to be over and done with.

I’ve posted about an annoying coworker before, but a lot of people are a lot worse off than I am. After reading about the awful things people have to put up with on AnnoyingCoworker.com, I’m happy that the worst thing I have to deal with is a loud radio. I’m laughing out loud at some of the experiences here, from someone cooking a disgusting fish stew each week for their lunch, to a thief stealing food out of the office fridge, and someone else who hacks phlegm nonstop all day. If you’ve got a story to share, you can submit it at...

I love, love, LOVE my digital camera. The Sony Cybershot is best out of all the digital cameras I’ve owned. In fact, just last night, one of our friends was using it to snap some pictures at my birthday party and they ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the touch screen and the other snazzy features. Actually, he discovered a new feature I didn’t even know about! Apparently, my camera will play a slide show of all the pictures, accompanied by music. I guess it pays to read the instruction manual I love making goofy videos of the kids and putting them...

The Colleenie Weenie show is on the air in just an hour – join us for what promises to be another fun filled hour. Last week we talked about television and I did my impression of Cartman’s mom. Who knows what this episode will bring? The show begins at 9pm eastern. You can IM me on Yahoo during the show (user name: colleen_cc) or call in to chat with me (and tell me happy birthday) by calling (646) 716-7564.

Today, July 28th, is my 31st birthday. In order to celebrate, I’m offering a birthday special at GeekySpeaky Links. For those of you who don’t know, the links directory here is a PR 5.

ALL links in the directory are a permanent link – they never have an expiration date! Starting today, and through the month of August, when you purchase a featured ($40) or regular ($25) link,...

I was just introduced to a new site called Fechr.com which is guaranteed to give your blog a traffic boost. Fechr (which is pronounced “feature”) is designed t feature one site per day, for 24 hours, starting at midnight each day. Right now, the site is free, and I like free. Once the site gains a little traffic, there will be a charge to be the featured site. Hence, I recommend getting in now while the getting is good. How am I so certain that you’ll get traffic from Fechr? It’s run by Bobby Griffin, the mastermind behind The...

When I was on my business trip last week, I attended a nice little corporate event, and our CIO handed out gift bags to everyone in attendance. Inside was a company polo shirt, a fancy pen, a notebook with the company logo, a $50 Amex gift card, and a nice glass display plaque for my desk, inscribed with my name, the company name, and the project date. Imprinted promotional products aren’t just for your customers and clients – they’re for your employees, too! The polo shirt is great for casual Friday, and the notebook is perfect for...

With the help of these detailed instructions on how to do a Wordpress upgrade, and a little moral support from friends, I’ve successfully upgraded this site to the latest version of Wordpress, which is 2.2.1. I was perhaps, a little more anal about the backup than the situation required, going as far as to backup the entire site – the blog, the forums, and the links directory, but a little overkill never hurts. When I completed the upgrade, I got an error message on my site and quickly realized it was due to a plugin that had been deactivated...
