What is in Nerdgirl’s bag?
I usually travel with a lot of stuff. I have a fear of not having the right technology at the right time, so I jam pretty much anything one could need into my bag. If you ever need a spare charger or some way to transfer files, I am your (wo)man. So what exactly do […]
Sonos rocks my world
Wait. What? Why didn’t anyone tell me how awesome Sonos has become?!? I feel like such a techno loser right now for not being up to date on the Sonos revolution. Yes, I have heard of Sonos before. But the idea that they were some proprietary mid-range expensive music system with a shitty remote was […]
Kindle Fire – after a week of usage – review
Let me preface this “review” by saying that I have owned every single Kindle version since they came out. From that big ugly bulky white thing until now. I also have an Android phone that is rooted and has a custom ROM called MIUI installed and am a proud owner of an iPad and a […]
Sphero – robotic ball
A New Way To Play from GoSphero on Vimeo. The Sphero looks pretty interesting. It is a robotic ball that you control through apps on your smartphone. It appears that they have several apps that they plan to launch with in 2012 including a golf app and a driving app. I’m not totally sold on […]

I love any service that makes my life easier. I also love any service where I have as little human interaction as possible. Hence, my overwhelming love of the Interwebs. This morning I noticed that there was a business card on the window of the car. It was for a company called Cherry and it […]

For those of you who are reading the Steve Jobs biography you might have gotten to the early Macintosh days and stories from Susan Kare, the original designer of the Mac icons and fonts. You can actually buy some of these icons in limited edition prints online. We already have the Moof hanging in the […]
Writing Better HTML & CSS presentation
Here is a great presentation that was given by Chris Coyier at the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) in London. I love anyone that is trying to push better standards and cleaner code, so let’s all give him a hand. Yeah for the semantic web. Whoot.
Why I’m excited about the Amazon Kindle Fire
Amazon announced its latest line of Kindles today and the much anticipated Kindle Fire. I’m so excited for this! I have owned every Kindle since their first release and this will be no exception. I love my Kindle and I feel like I’ve been cheating on it lately with my iPad because I can’t justify […]
