Droid Helps Country Bumpkin Find Her Way
My family just returned from a week in Omaha, NE, where we visited my husband’s family.
Before departing for our trip, I upgraded from a Blackberry Storm to a Motorola Droid X. During my trip, I fell in love with my Droid X.
For one thing, as we traveled for hours across the wide state of Nebraska, [...]

Thoughts About The Facebook Effect
Disclaimer: I LOVE Facebook. I just finished reading The Facebook Effect, by David Kirkpatrick, a veteran technology reporter who was for many years editor for technology and the internet at Fortune magazine. The book is phenomenal. In fact, for me it was a page-turner.
Kirkpatrick provides readers with a pretty up-close and personal view into [...]

Sometimes You Can’t Get the Girl out of the Frontier
I travel quite a bit to attend and present at various tourism-related conferences throughout the country.

Air travel: Overpriced then, cheap now?
We all bellyache about the airlines. I had a terrible lost luggage experience with American Airlines last week, and ranted about it. I’m still upset about all the cab fares and late night shopping and money-spending I had to do because they couldn’t find and deliver my bag in time for my keynote presentation to [...]

Every time this has ever happened, it’s [...]
