Joining the 21st Century

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Kari Lucin

Although I consider myself slightly tech-savvy, if only on a user basis (as opposed to the programmer or sysadmin behind the curtain), there are a couple things I’m weirdly old-fashioned about. For example, although I love my check card and … Continue reading →

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Kari Lucin

Lately I’ve been blogging less and tweeting more. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t had a lot of ideas that are more than 140 characters long lately, or just that I haven’t done much interesting lately, apart from seeing Iron Man II. … Continue reading →
