Friday Five: Tech I Want To Buy

I love technology but I am very resistant to trying new things, simply because I understand that they will come out with a "newer and better" version within 6-9 months.

1. Wireless Repeater- The signal in my house sucks. 'Nuff said.
2. Kindle Fire- I love my Kindle Keyboard but it is very limited in the stuff it can do. Now that Amazon is likely coming out with 2 more Fires, it is likely that the $199 price tag will drop and I will snatch one up by Christmas.
3. Smart Phone- I loathe cell phones. I hate being tethered to the damn thing. And I hate touch screen phones. The smudges make my OCD go into hyper drive. But it is getting to the point that if I don't have a smart phone, then I'm not going to be able to function away from my computer. Lame.
4. Computer for the kids- The girls need to start learning how to use a computer. It will be a nightmare, I know. But it will definitely be good for them.
5. DVR- So that I don't have to watch Dad's shows the one time a week that I want to watch TV, a DVR would be so handy... my show could get taped and I could watch it at my leisure. Well, I do that already by watching it on Hulu I guess. Hmm...

Love is love, no matter the back story. <3 DS

Author Biographies

While I am unable to access my final Immo1 file (see this post for an explanation), I have been working on a few of the other things that have been on my to-do list. The most time consuming has surprisingly been my author biography for the back of my novel. You don't really understand how difficult writing a bio is until you sit down to do it yourself. Why is it so freaking hard? We talk about ourselves all the time. Some more than others...

Anyways, I've been trolling through the interwebs for information on how everyone else approaches bios. The advice is pretty consistent.
