Have you tried Pinterest?

Pinterest


 Today's latest craze - Pinterest!  Ever heard of this site?  Well apparently many people have, as it is sweeping the internet with a frenzy!!  I actually just picked up this article on how people are using this newest social media tool!! - Social network Pinterest draws interest online | The Republic.

Well, whatever the reason, it's obvious that this is the latest and greatest social media app going!  I guess the only catch here is that you have to be "invited" in order to start "pinning" your photos, and other items of interest that you can then share on Facebook and Twitter!!

I have requested an invite to this site; but have yet to get accepted.  :(  I'm guessing there is a LONG waiting list!!  I'll keep you posted!  And hopefully, soon, you will see my pins of interest on my blog!!

Happy pinning out there to you lucky ones who've already caught the craze!!

Turn your iPad into a PC!!

Wow, my love of technology just grows DAILY!!  The latest little nifty "tech gadget" that I've stumbled upon is called ONLIVE DESKTOP!  WOW, what can I say, this is the most awesome app I've seen for my iPad so far!!!

This totally cool app allows you to turn your iPad into a computer; by being able to open and revise MS Office apps; like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint!!

If you go to the App Store; you can download this for FREE!  There is a paid version that allows you to also watch "FLASH" video on your iPad! 

There is a great article from the NY Times that tells more about this really cool little app!  "OnLive Desktop Plus Puts Windows 7 on your iPad", by David Pogue.  Check it out!!!

Putting My Skills To Work

Not sure if anyone knew (or actually is interested) that besides my Love of Technology; I'm also engaged in my own business utilizing all these many gadgets and talents!  I started my own business a little over a year ago.  I have been "self-employed" in the direct sales industry for several years.  Prior to that I spent about 20 years in the clerical administrative support field, in various job positions ranging from insurance, to transportation, to corporate law, to finance, to public transportation, as well as several years in the retail industry.  With all this knowledge, skill and training, I decided to put my "pre-retirement" years to good use.  What better way than to jump on the entrepreneurial band wagon!!  I had searched the internet for other types of "home based" businesses and came upon a "virtual assistant forum" site.  I spent literally hours on this site looking at the message boards and suddenly it came to me, that with all the administrative, marketing and customer service skills and training I had acquired, why not start my own Virtual Assistant business!!
