Took my mom for a followup doctor visit to check on her cat scratch wound from last Saturday. After waiting only about five minutes we were ushered into one of the exam rooms by a polite and very friendly new nurse named Regina who basically narrated everything she did, including which buttons she clicked on …

So before she went to church, my mom stopped at my brother’s house to drop off a kitten calendar that was a gift from my sister. My brother has five cats, three of which are black siblings and one of which is named Mr. Blue. My mom reached down to say hi to Mr. Blue …

Another example of the amazingly connected times we live in was today’s live, online Google+ Hangout by Vice President Joe Biden, moderated by PBS NewsHour’s Hari Sreenivasan.

This was the …

So Google introduced a new feature in their Google+ social environment: Communities. And that was my cue to jump in as quickly as possible. I understood right away that this was something that Google+ had desperately needed to become a more interactive place for all gmailers, not just a few who wanted something other than …

Upgraded to the new version of iTunes. It looks much cleaner and better organized and I’m sure it won’t take very long to get used to the changes, especially since I literally use iTunes ever single day. Most of the issues will arise from trying to find where all the links have been placed in …

Ran a buttload of errands with my mom which included a lunch stop at Waldo’s Chili Dogs at Clairemont Square. I’d eaten there once before and I knew how much my mom likes hot dogs. We both ordered the Avocado Bacon Hot Dog and they were really good. We split a bag of Fritos and …

Had to take the car back to our mechanic at Tune Craft yet again to get ongoing problems taken care of. Second time in about a month after a long string of repairs. The car has been a bit of a lemon since the beginning, but it’s kind of stuck in the middle of that …
