Technology has sucked the romance out of relationships. Just ask my grandparents.
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time with the old people in my life. Every weekend this month I have flown 3,000 miles to the East Coast to listen to them recap the stories of their youth. I have listened to them talk [...]

My boss wandered into my office the other day to drop off a few assignments.

Freedom has a price. It will cost you $483. And at that rate, it’s a bargain. Let me explain.
For the past six months I have been tethered to a cell phone that I am pretty sure was trying to kill me. The people at Verizon sold me a touch screen monster after my phone from college met [...]

Over the past month I have crossed into unfamiliar territory … tech country. After nearly six months of activating a Flickr account, I actually uploaded photos to the site over Christmas and used it for its intended purpose – sharing photos with the world. (Instead of just posting my smart-ass comments on Emily and Allison’s Flickr pages.)
