Last week I attended the quarterly meeting for my department. Of course, the presentation that I was most interested in was slated for the very end. So I stayed for the entire meeting just to see the presentation and voila, it was refreshing. This presentation revolved around eCommerce, mobile tech, apps for phones and other hand held devices, etc. Yes, I was in geek heaven!
Of course at the end people asked questions. It really bothered me that people who are seasoned in the IT field really had no clue about how technology is a major tool in our daily lives. Seriously, this is not a sci-fi movie, this is 2010!
Stay tuned, I've got some ideas on what to buy for that technology lover in your life this upcoming holidays!

Too Pretty to Work, Really?
This past weekend, a video in which the duchess of York was seen selling access to her ex-husband for a substantial amount of cash (to us mere mortals, that is) was all over the world news.
After such an embarrassing exposure, the duchess released a statement regretting her actions and also stated she was experiencing financial problems. In the past she's stated her divorce settlement was meager as she only receives $21,500 per year.
In contrast, princess Diana received millions of dollars in her divorce settlement.
While I suppose it's hard to leave the royal lifestyle behind after a divorce, I'm also wondering if it's against British law to get a resume together and work at a job just like many of us do on a daily basis if one is pressed for cash.
I know plenty of single-divorced parents that receive a lot less than $21,500 per year as part of their divorce settlement/child support and manage to live within their means, of course most of those parents still have to go out and earn a living to support their families.
For any divorcees/single parents out there, do you think the duchess should stop playing celebrity and get a job like the rest of the mere mortal population or is she entitled to a lavish lifestyle because she was once married to royalty?
