Caroline Middlebrook’s Easter Egg Hunt
So… it’s almost Easter.. and I am getting ready to eat mountains upon mountains of chocolate…lol. I get to play the Easter Bunny this year… so I thought I would have some fun of my own :)
Gonna find some Easter Eggs in hopes of getting the cool new StumbleUpon Course from Caroline Middlebook.
In order to do so…I have to post links to her site where the eggs are planted. So I apologize (to annyone actually reading this thing)… that these next few posts will just be lovely links to her blog… BUT if you wanna check it out.. go for it.. she has a brilliant post on there about Twitter.. called the The Big Juicy Twitter Guide… a great read!
Anyways…. really not trying to kiss ass.. this is a win or lose kinda thing.. :)
okie here it is: http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/easter-egg-hunt-find-the-eggs-win-my-stumbleupon-traffic-course/
So.. I have found just 8 of 30 eggs she has hidden throughout her blog. And, I am NOT giving up.. but damn this is harder than I would have thought!!

The Power of Twitter…
I wanted to share this.. as the power of twitter reaches…..
This was a recent (and my first comment) posted here on my blog:

Someone here at Dell saw your Twitter entries about the problems you have been having with your Dell, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help out.
I am a customer advocate here at Dell headquarters in Texas. My job is to help out people that have posted about problems with Dell. If you would like my help, or have any questions for me, I’ll be more than happy to help in any way I can.
Larry
Dell Customer Advocate
Well.. if you have read any of my twitter posts lately.. I have been slamming Dell pretty hard…just such a frustrating ordeal. I am SURE that most all of you at some point can relate here with computer issues.
But what really surprises me, is that my twitter account is less than 3 days old.. and it was actually seen by people in which a response was warranted.
I am going to assume Dell has a whole department that searches the net for negative publicity.. but it does give me a small bit of satifaction knowing that perhaps my one little voice was heard.
Anyways.. I will give this “Larry” an email and see what he offers as far as a solution… but let me ask ya all this…. If you had a computer (less than 1 year old) and your hard drive crashed.. completely gone.. poof (I did have 2 so I had a backup, thank god!) and it took 2 weeks to fix and you continued to have issues.. resulting in another 2 weeks of off and on downtime… bascially resulting in a loss of one months worth of wages… (which I literally could have bought the phat toshiba laptop I have been eyeing).. wouldn’t you be PISSED as well??
Day One
LOL… I am such a dork!
Hahaha.. its ok.. I am allowed to laugh at myself here…
Anyways.. today I got a twitter account… um.. is it just me.. or does that name just make you wanna go.. huh??? .. (said with one eyebrow raised..)
Anyways.. got the twitter account for this blog. I have two for my other blogs.. but this will be the first time it is all meee baby (or really just me uncensored), ha!
I have a facebook account, stumble account, myspace account, and will start digging deeper into more of the social media scene as time goes on. For my other sites I have also added the blog catalog, mybloglog, techorati, Del.icio.us(another odd name), squidoo, and a few others. It is really uber time consuming to work up a status there on all (but I have a partner with one site.. and she is rockin’).
Right now, I just have a ton of things to catch up on with all my other blogs and sites, and really wondering what I am doing starting this blog… but we will see.
The web just grows so much and moves so quick, things are constantly changing and upgrading it is just amazing.
I wonder sometimes…. if the internet were like traffic in the bay area.. we would be like stuck back with our Apple IIe’s (I know.. I am sooo dating myself here.. but it was cool back then!!) and perhaps with an upgraded decathalon game or something… lol
DOES ANYONE remember that game??
Ok really.. like to do the pole vault you had to type 2 keys.. don’t remember which ones.. but like vb.. so you would bang vbvbvbvbvbv.. to make the little guy run fast.. then hit like the a key or something to make him throw the pole.
I will ALWAYS remember my mother yelling at me (and my sis) to stop banging on the computer… ofcourse my response.. “mom, if you do it quietly you don’t run as fast and lose!” Therefore not my fault those two keys lost their lettering!!
