It's a Geek. It's a Girl. It's a Blog.

Thanks for updating Word Press into 3.0. I understand you wanted a different design, but did the back end have to be designed with white on light gray on a slightly darker shade of gray with other varying shades of gray? It makes my eyeballs dizzy.

Oh, and it took me 20 minutes to figure out where you hid the PUBLISH button. Thanks for putting it in a drop down menu option where I had to click mark that yes, I wanted two columns and that was where the publish button was hidden.

Otherwise, visual and HTML versions look the same when you switch back and forth.

It still throws in tags when I’m looking at the Visual. And if I switch back and forth the buttons on top of the post for those tags in Visual disappear.

So, I know you all do a lot of hard work, and thanks for the blog, but those are my wishes for the next upgrade. (Which is usually every two weeks, right?)

I appreciate the work, but, holy crap, it’s blinding me.

Check these statistics out: According to the US Census, the average income in America is $52,000 (about) a year. This fact may be somewhat confusing, because nearly 60% of Americans work at minimum wage level. That means 1 in every 2 people you meet will make an average of $1000 a month. Average income from [...]

Mr. Procrastination can be your bestest b-f-f. He’s there for you when you are really wanting to do something, or know you should do something, and then he accidentally tips over that big punch bowl full of Jell-o made from Super Glue onto your kitchen floor. Because that’s where you are when you’re procrastinating. Cleaning [...]

Client: We want to make the size of the grain of this glow-y stuff even smaller. Us: Smaller than a grain? Client: What if we made it nano size? Us: We already get it in micro size. That’s smaller than we need for the project. Client: But what if we made it smaller? Us: Why [...]

After a heavy day of thinking, a good night’s sleep can be a great way to pull your head out of your heart and think clearly. Being emotional about money only works for a little while. Finances can be personal to people. But thinking too emotionally about money for too long doesn’t help. Like I [...]

Yesterday, I went to the dentist. As most freelance writers will tell you, I don’t have dental insurance. When the bill came for some very much needed dental work, I was shocked by the $10k price tag. They wanted me to sign up for a credit card that they will charge it to and I’ll [...]

What makes people happy? It seems like the less you worry about spending money, the happier you are. Once people have enough for simplistic needs, they worry less about money, and concentrate on things that make them happy. Rich people are not happy people. Let me rephrase that, rich people aren’t happy because they have [...]

So you’re thinking about moving to an apartment that has low rent, but it seems like the only ads you find are for apartment complexes or big homes that are charging $1000 and up for a decent apartment. When you are trying to live on part time income, or perhaps you just want to live [...]

The internet lives on ideas. We share ideas and theories about how to do things, like save time, save money and what to do with our time and money once we’ve saved it. However there’s a reason, I think, why people love ideas and hate them at the same time. When I look for advice [...]

There was a conversation in a forum today and I’m too peeved just tell one person off. I wanted to share this with many people. To begin, someone wanted to learn how to write well. We’ll name him Bob. Bob does other kinds of work, and he’s interested in learning to write well and taking [...]
