My days. My nights. My life. Lived well.

I remember when I used to talk my dad through it all over the phone. Now I just have to get his address entered in and I can take over his screen. Amazing.

I know that I am not always the most consistent with updating my blog. Usually because I’m either to busy to post and then when I do finally think of something it seems outdated and irrelevant or it’s because my life seems boring and uninspiring to post about. Anyway, you can just get my blog posts “pushed” to you either of these ways:

• Subscribing to the RSS feed by clicking the link that says “Entries (RSS)” to the right underneath the search box. It takes you to a page where you can add my feed to your faorite RSS reader or web portal like My Yahoo, Google Reader, Bloglines or a bunch of others.
• Underneath my Flickr photos on the right, there’s a link you can use to sign up for email alerts if you’d rather just get an email with my blog post in it.
• Adding my site as a Live Bookmark or Feed in your browser. Click the nbame of your browser for instructions: Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer 7.

So, there you have it. There are a bunch of ways that you can just sit back and wait for your computer or browser to tell you when I’ve updated the site. But you should still come by and visit every once in awhile because I try to make this the central point for all things me. From here you can easily see if I’ve posted any personal videos or added pictures rto my Flickr account. It’s like a dashboard of all things Kristen

I had another data scare this weekend. It seems that every time, I get less and less scared, but that’s because each time it happens I get a little more prepared.

I am so glad that I back up on a semi-regular basis and have some redundancy in place so that I won’t ever really LOSE my data, just have it be inaccessible for awhile.

My favorite app- DiskWarrior- couldn’t even help me. Luckily I bought a copy of Data Rescue X last time I had the scare. It took awhile, but it worked like a charm.
