On August 30, 2007, I started my Twitter account using my social media name @ajwms. I’ve written about my journey with it here and in other places at my work (that have been lost…thanks ransomware) My first tweets were…um, excited? Cute? Mostly about installing software on my new Apple devices..I guess 2007 was when I…

Touch Portal for Voiceover
WOWOWOWOWOWOW – It has been WAAAAAAY TOOOOOO LOOOOOONG since I have posted here. So much to catch up my (checks notes) zero readers on about my life. I retired from my “regular” job earlier this year and decided to give a good old college try (see what I did there?) at voiceover. I have been…
Oh, the times they are a’changing (or at least I have..a bit)
I know that the only thing constant is change. I get that. And, I have been dealing with a huge change in my life for almost 5 years. But, there are other changes that are happening around me all of the time and I have suddenly become aware of one that is more related to…
Geeking out my desktop
I have been a casual user and fan of GeekTool for a number of years. GeekTool provides a means to add images, code, logs or web content to small, pre-defined locations on your desktop so they lay behind your application windows and can refresh at a time rate that you set within the code. GeekTool…
Bookmark like it is 1999, er, 2005
Hi there! I’m back. I would love to write here more regularly but I find myself writing in other places more often so this site gets pushed to the proverbial back burner over and over. But, I have something I want to capture so here it goes. I hit Twitter yesterday and saw this post…
Two steps too soon?
And, here I am again changing out cell phones. For someone who resisted joining the smart phone “revolution” for as long as I could, it is kinda comical that I keep finding myself blogging about the updates and changes to my phone. But, my new plan with Sprint allows me to always get the newest…
Quick Update: moving to iOS
It has been almost a month and I have been steadily working on this transition from Android to iOS. I wanted to capture a few quick thoughts here while it was still a bit fresh on my mind. The Apple Migration tool for moving from Android failed for me. Three times. I gave up. Thus,…
Moving Back (and trying to bring my stuff with me)
Many folks are surprised when they seem me whip out my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S4). It is unusual, I suppose, for such an unabashed Apple fangirl to “stoop” to something outside of the ecosystem. I did it for several reasons. First and foremost, for the longest time, my carrier (Sprint) didn’t have the iPhone…
Legacy Contact – Facebook
I swear, I do not intend to turn this blog into a tech after death kind of blog but right now, that is what I keep finding is blog-worthy of my energy. Related to my earlier posts on dealing with social media after death, Facebook has taken it a step further now and provided a…
Digital Afterlife: Part 2
Just a quick update to what I have decided to do and what I have learned. I was so hesitant to just close down social networking/media accounts without having the data itself with me. So, I started digging around. The Twitter account did have the archive button so I was able to grab all of…
