Living at Starbucks

Living at Starbucks

I love coffee shops. Being able to a coffee shop and work all day is something I’ve deeply missed over the past year. Don’t get me wrong, Sophie and I frequented many wifi hot spots in central Washington during my stay there. Only one was vaguely in a 30 minute biking distance. Some part of me feels guilty sometimes sitting here all day.  I drink slowly and don’t want to waste all my calories on a ton of Chai Tea or whatever other delicious non-sense is available. At the same time it’s fun to people watch and work. It gives me a good reason to put...

Tech Tip Question: What is the best phon...

Original Question:  I have to get a new phone update and anyone know who is the best to go through for web and cam and phone unlimited minutes ck;d Boost att verizon anymore????????????   Answer: That sentence didn’t make a ton of sense. Verizon has some good plans but you probably don’t NEED unlimited of everything. I would look into a plan with 300-700 minutes (depending on your average usage), free nights and weekends, unlimited in-network calling (people with the same provider) and some other perk like free incoming. Every provider offers unlimited...

Android Hacking the Pros and Cons of Roo...

Technically Rooting an Android is NOT jail breaking in the since that an iPhone gets Jail broken. Instead, it’s more like making a super user or administrative user for your phone (the same as what you would do for a computer). This tutorial was originally made to show someone else who asked me to do this for them, the pros and cons. Plus has all the data I found on technical terms and how to run through the process of “rooting” an Android phone. Enjoy. The first step in what you asked me for (tethering aka using your phones internet on your computer) is...

Protecting Yourself and Your Passwords

My baby brother is in Kosovo, this is his second tour. I received an email from his hotmail account today, with a random link that I would immediately recognize as spam. My first instinct was to let him know via Facebook and send him an email telling him to change his password. Since he was overseas, I also took the liberty of emailing everyone else I noticed got the email with a few friendly tips including not to click on the link. Here are a few tips to keep your password and information safe from hackers: The best password is the kind that can not be...

Tough Stuff – A real Guard Dog

Tough Stuff – A real Guard Dog

My Sophie, she is tough but sweet. A real guard dog, the kind that would make any pit bull scared. All two pounds of her. Okay, so she probably wouldn’t scare anything bigger then a mouse but she definitely can annoy the piss out of the big animals. She scares the cat that is twice her size, they play constantly. She’s not even scared of the baby horses that are literally 1000 times her weight. I should have taken pictures today when her and a baby Fjord decided to sniff each others nose. Too cute for words. Sophie, in my opinion, is the cutest dog in the...

Thinking outside the box maybe crazy but...

We are in Idaho today. A beautiful state, with very little city as far as I can tell. I’m more of a city girl but can deeply appreciate the beauty of nature. I’ve had a lot of time to think during this drive. When entering Idaho I saw mountains, the same mountains that we’d been driving through in Montana for over an hour. These mountains are one of the primary reasons I requested my father fly out to Minneapolis to help me drive to Washington state. I remember them feeling a lot scarier as a child. I remember driving around mountain tops that...
