Beads and Tech





I don't know if I have anything much to talk about this week but maybe if I just start writing, something will come...
My APC battery backup/surge protector thingie has been periodically cutting power to my computer and letting out this high-pitched continuous alarm. So, while I am panicking about the work I just lost or whether or not my email will be able to recover from yet another improper shut-down, I also get to wince at the pain inflicted in my earholes. I'm pretty sure that the APC is gasping its last breaths at this point. Ah the joys of technology...
On the other hand, I discovered TWITTER recently! I am following some interesting characters, along with other beadmakers and jewelry designers. One is Dr. Drew Pinski, who I just adore (VH1's Celebrity Rehab is one of my favorite guilty pleasures) and another is Leo Laporte, who hosts tech related shows (I'm a geek!).
I had a funny thing happen the other day... I received an email from someone who left a message about my YouTube video, liked my blog and wanted to add me to their Facebook so I twittered them my ID. It was at that moment that I realized I had gone social networking supernova. Awesome. What a great time we live in.

I love that daffodil bead! Oh, and I bow to your geekiness because I would have no freaking clue what was wrong if I started hearing noises from the 'puter!
