When I’m not taking pictures, I’m editing photos, running my website, and updating Quickbooks. I sit in front of a computer for so many hours a day. I’m bound to pick up some technology crushes along the way.
Here is my TOP TEN list of techy things I love:
#1 Apple computers because of their file organization, sleek design, and low energy consumption compared with other computers.
#2 Canon’s line of digital cameras and accessories
#3 Amazon.com because they have a great selection of products and free shipping for orders over $30!
#4 ipod shuffle – It has a super long battery life because it doesn’t have a screen. It holds tons of music, and it clips onto anything. It’s also really inexpensive.
#5 Last.fm - This website is a free music library of music from around the world. You can listen to virtually any artist ever, as well as get great recommendations for similar artists.
#6 Twitter – not sure how I feel about it yet, but it is strangely addicting. I like looking at Twitter trends to see what people around the world are Tweeting about.
#7 YouTube
#8 Bye Bye Standbye – This is a remote control fully cuts power to electrical devices so there is no ghost load. ”Ghost Loads” come from devices we may not even think of as being on, but they slowly and constantly consume electricity 24 hours a day—even when they are not actually doing anything useful. While each device by itself may not consume much electricity, the combination of all of them within a household may easily consume the equivalent of two or three 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs left on all day and all night. Throughout a single year this adds up to over 1 Megawatt-hour! We have one a Bye Bye Standbye that I plug into our entertainment center and one for a lamp that’s hard to reach. I can turn them all on and off with the Bye Bye Standbye remote control.
#9 Nintendo – We recently were given an original Nintendo system complete with Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Zelda, and some other games that my husband seemed really excited about.
#10 Aperture and Photoshop – I use both of these programs to make your pictures even more beautiful!
