I don’t know what came over me. I actually posted a Happy Birthday to William Oakley on his Facebook page when he has been dead for two years. For those of you who do not know this, Facebook lists the birthday of everyone you are connected to. Most Facebook members check that page every day and send wishes to everyone who has a birthday. It is conceivable that one person could receive hundreds of birthday wishes on his or her special day.
Many people over 50 think about all the possessions they own, and what they are going to do with them when they decide to downsize. Only the brave are willing to tackle the inventory they own when they are double nickels (55). The rest of us will wait until something drastic happens to face this chore.
The minute I saw this idea I said this is for me. I don’t know what eye doctors are going to think about it but boy does this make sense, if it works. In a few years, you may be wearing prescription eyeglasses that you can adjust by just turning a knob. How cool is that? I would personally love that option because for many years, I just don’t feel like I am getting the proper prescriptions. I have progressive glasses and I often feel the bottom prescription was meant for the top and the top for the bottom. I find myself tilting my head in all kinds of directions to get a clear picture. This is true for near and far.
Every time we get ready to travel it is the same old routine.
1) Have we been upgraded to first class?
2) Do our coach seats have the extra leg room?
3) What will the weather be like when we take off? Continue reading
Every time you turn around, LEGO has a new tech gizmo. Here is the LEGO paper plane folding machine V2.0.
This contraption folds and launches paper planes. I could watch this all day. It proves that this is a company that knows how to take advantage of the digital revolution. Continue reading
Even Holland Taylor, who portrays former Democratic Governor of Texas Ann Richards in the play she also wrote, made it her business to note the big change that was happening in the United States during her term. “We are just entering the Information Age that is going to change us forever.”
I have been spending this snowy day on my couch doing organizational work. I have been doing this my whole life. I carry papers with me all the time. The 8-1/2 by 11-inch sheets of paper contain “To Do” lists for general details, clients, DigiDame, medical, hobbies, birthdays, gifts, travel, dates of upcoming events, and other notes I can’t think of right now.

I went to work on two hours sleep today. I did okay until around 2-ish when my eyes started to close. I don’t know if it was exhaustion or the big lunch I ate, but I was ready to pass out. I made it through three successful telephone conference calls with clients and a staff meeting, but by the time business associate Susan Babcock came to visit me this afternoon, I was ready for bed.
Hollywood is stunned. This has never happened before. Will it ever happen again?
I am referring to the fact that the movie version of the CW TV show Veronica Mars just got funded through Kickstarter in 12 hours. This is history in the making.
