It’s great to be able to type up a document on the computer, edit it, and print it out when you’re ready. Word processing programs are generally easy to use despite the occasional annoyance in setting margins and figuring out random settings. Finally, you’re ready to print out that paper. You click the print button […]

Custom Flash Drives for the Pros
As an amateur photographer considering how to best break into a field already full of creative experts, I know that creativity is a must to get any kind of recognition. I have to do something to make my work stand out above the other work that is being promoted in this field. Obviously, buying quality […]
Bulk Flash Drives for Human Resource Depts
The job of a human resources worker is much more complicated than some might think. Oh, they just talk to people and pick new workers, right? Not quite. Hiring is one of the most important functions of a company. Whether or not that’s your line of work, put yourself in the shoes of a human […]
Can’t stop using those creative flash drives
I have a friend who just recently graduated from high school. He was homeschooled by his mother and received a very good education. His mother is a very talented artist who took his schooling very seriously. She went outside the bounds of structured curriculum and researched unusual ways to give him a well rounded education. […]
Christmas Thrills
I love Christmas time. It is my absolute favorite time of the year. In fact, if we could have Christmas all year around, I would be thrilled. As a child, my parents did a wonderful job of getting up excited, decorating, baking, entertaining and sharing the joy of Christmas and Christ’s birth. I can still […]
SectorLink Servers Down – Dec 1, 2008
Nothing like learning that Sector Link (a web host in Michigan) is apparently having problems with its DNS or servers. We’ve got many, many websites completely down as a result. Best guess I have is that the problem began right before 10 AM EST. Hard to be sure. Even their own website is down. Phone […]
100 Uses for the Standard Dishwasher
One of the greatest 19th century inventions for modern conveniences has been the dishwasher. It has cut down the amount of time used to scour dishes by hand and dry them. Along with its time saving benefit, there is also the benefit of water conservation, sterilization, and reduction in soap usage. It is rare to […]
Abusing or Using the 911 Emergency Service
In my line of work as a 911 operator, I get a variety of calls requesting ambulances. A lot of those calls come from nursing homes requesting transport to the local hospitals. However, I need to treat each call as if it is of life and death importance. Unfortunately, there are calls that come in […]
It’s time to start Christmas shopping – already!
I can’t believe how quickly Christmas is coming. When I was little it always seemed like it would never arrive. Now that I’m getting a bit older (note, I’m still not labeling myself as old!) it seems like it’s here in a flash. I was in Sam’s Club on Tuesday night and heard the Christmas […]
Returning the Remodeled Warehouse Restaurant Atmosphere
It’s all the rage downtown, though many people have spent many years and piles of money to eliminate it. It’s the converted-warehouse look, and it’s taking off as “the way to be” in the new downtown restaurants. Back when we lived in Greenville, South Carolina, our family’s absolute favorite restaurant was The Spaghetti Warehouse. It […]

On Teaching Younger Children As a piano teacher, I am often asked how soon a child could or should begin taking piano lessons. The answers vary, and the following is a guide to help in the decision making process. When a very young child begins to take piano lessons, there are several things to be […]
KR15A Big Red Button to the rescue
My almost three year old son took a tumble in a corn maze at Swamp Fox Farm this morning. Nothing was hurt but he did get quite dirty and shed multiple tears. It was a little bit humorous because the whole reason he was crying was because he got all muddy. He wanted me to […]
Rethinking Flash Drives
It’s hard to believe that I once believed that flash drives were merely tools. After a little bit of time perusing CFgear.com, I’m firmly convinced that flash drives are yet another bit of technology that is just as much fun as it is functional, if not more so! Gone are the heyday days of the […]
Stamp That Scrapbooking Club Kickoff
Do you have zillions of photographs sitting at home waiting to be scrapbooked? Or worse yet, do you have zillions of photographs waiting to be printed and then be put into scrapbooks? That would be me! I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Southern York County, PA so scrapbooking and cardmaking are part of my “job description” […]
USB Flash Drive Adventures with CFgear
Flash drives in bulk or singly may have been around for a while, but I’m just now beginning to grasp some measure of a technological beginner’s understanding of their features and benefits. With all I’ve learned about flash drives, I’m barely scratching the surface, especially since there are changes practically every day. As with all […]
