Apple device owners beware…you may not be as safe as you think from malicious hackers

I finally have what I lovingly refer to as my first ‘iThing’. Yes, I was among those who got the latest iPad (mind you, NOT called the iPad 3, but still, it is the 3rd generation of the iPad). And technically, this isn’t my first iThing…it is my 3rd. I have owned two iPods (one […]

Do not get fooled by fake anti-virus messages – and never, ever click unless you are sure!

I figure its rarely a good thing when the phone rings at 7am…particularly when it’s your cell phone (a number that most of your clients have for emergencies). Most people haven’t even had their coffee yet! Clients on the West Coast are still tucked in bed. Has to be an East-Coaster. Has to be a […]

Radio Show – Critical Mass: Coast-to-Coast – February 16, 2012

I had the pleasure of being asked to appear on an Orange County, CA Radio Show, Critical Mass: Coast-to-Coast on February 16th, 2012. It was a distinct honor to be asked to appear, however, I was delighted to learn of the show because it is a fabulous resource for business owners, C-level managers, and people […]

How do I know if someone is talking about me on the web?

As “they” say, your reputation is everything. This includes your reputation among family, friends, colleagues, and now, what appears about you online. Yes, you need to make sure that you stay abreast of any information posted on the web about you. Have you ever had the experience of having someone – maybe a casual friend […]

Who Are Your Neighbors?

Let me begin by saying that I am absolutely HORRIBLE with names. I don’t know why, but I am awful. I try to remember, I try all the mnemonic devices and still, I forget names that I really should know. Most embarrassingly are the names of my neighbors. I’ve lived in my current house for […]

To ‘Unsubscribe’ or ‘Not Unsubscribe’, that is the question…

(With all due respect to Shakespeare and Hamlet) We all get Spam. Its probably safe to say that we all get wayyyyyyyyyyy too much Spam. Spam, by definition, is e-mail that you do not choose or want to receive. It is junk. On the other hand, there are newsletters and such that you really DO […]

Do you ever want to delay the delivery of an e-mail?

There are a fair number of times when I compose an e-mail, but it’s not the correct time to send it. Perhaps I don’t want someone to know that I was working on something over the weekend. Maybe I have a report to e-mail on Monday morning, but I’m not going to be in my […]

Did you get a Gift Card that you have no interest in using?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Everyone!!! Sorry things have been quiet on this end, but I got caught up in the holiday crazies (and loved every minute of it!). The days just seemed to fly by. Now that we’re in the January doldrums, it’s time to get back to work! I am always amazed by the number […]

Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Oh My! What does it all mean?

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a black phone that sat in the hallway. It went ‘ring-ring’ when someone wanted to speak with you. You dialed when you wanted to speak with someone else, and the black phone went ‘ring-ring’ on their end. Alas, that time has come and […]
