So I was trying to send e-mail to someone through Gmail and I click on send.   Instead of sending my message Gmail gave me a warning.   “Are you sure you want to send this message?   Your subject line said see attachment but you didn’t attach anything to this e-mail.”   Wow!   Talk about smart.   Kind of freaks me out a little bit.   It was rather helpful of Gmail to warn me of my failure to attach the file I wanted to send.   It’s almost like when you go to the store to buy something like a television and before you can get out the door the salesperson says don’t you want to look at TV stands to go with your new television?   Smart.

In Gaming Mood

Last weekend I was in the mood to play games but there was no one around to play with, so I went online looking for computer games to play.   I’m cheap so I only play the free ones, but that means you have to put up with advertisements.   Sometimes you’ll see ads for things like Taco Bell or a cell phone company like Verizon wireless or for cosmetics like murad reviews.   Usually I just ignore them but occasionally they can be quite creative and eye-catching.   What’s really funny is when the ads are more interesting than the game you’re playing.   Maybe some of those game companies should hire the people who designed the online advertising.

Read at Your Own Risk

So the other night we are watching TV, yes we do that many evenings, and there’s this commercial for some TV manufacturer.   They’re extolling the outstanding clarity and performance of their particular TV versus some other manufacturer by showing you their TV picture versus the other brand.   Who gets paid for these ideas?   Somebody needs to rethink that because if I own say, a Samsung TV and I’m looking at a commercial for some other brand, how do I know the picture I’m seeing on my TV of the other brand is really the other brand and not just my TV?

Okay, forget what you just read, because I’m already confused.   It’s like trying to figure out what you’re seeing when you hold up a mirror in front of another mirror and you’re looking at yourself in one mirror looking at yourself in another mirror.   LOL.

My Virtual Pet

I have two cats and have been thinking about getting a Chihuahua dog.   I also have a virtual pet.   His name is Harold the hamster.   This little guy sits on my iGoogle homepage.   Sometimes I feed him and play with him.   Sometimes I don’t.   He doesn’t care.   Most of the time he sleeps.

Chatty Karen

Back in the day when the Internet was basically AOL and CompuServe I learned the fine art of Internet chatting.   Now, I must admit, that I’ve always been a chatty person to a certain extent.  

Backup Plan

Have you ever tried those online backup services?   I have not and I’ve wondered if they’re any good.   Although I’ve never suffered a hard drive failure, I do think it’s good to have a backup of data files from my computer.
