Pictures that made me smile today
Posted on January 31, 2010 | 5 CommentsI adore animals. Especially baby animals. So even though I am highly allergic to any furry animal, I can’t stop petting or picking up a pet. (And after the fuzz fest is over, I have to run to the bathroom to wash my hands immediately)... -

Posted on January 25, 2010 | 18 CommentsI was just thinking about passwords and security the other day, and I got a little electric jolt. “What if my Gmail accounts got hacked? How in the world would I get them back?“ My accounts are my identity and lifeblood online. If they got... -
