Question: How do you make PowerPoint work with a Chromecast when you’re using a Mac computer/iPad? Answer: You don’t. Better answer: You can, but not the way you think. Problem: I usually used my Apple TV puck to mirror the screen on my iPad to display a PowerPoint class/event schedule on repeat loop. (I also … Read More
Monday madness, new release, chatting, and other assorted insanity.
You know, a smart, organized person would have written this post up in advanced and had it scheduled to go live automatically. I am apparently not that person. For starters, I’m chatting over on Goodreads today and tomorrow, on the BDSM group there. It’s a discussion forum kind of format, so you can drop in … Read More
How long until your books get on Kindle/Nook/Kobo/etc.?
Remember, if you have a Kindle or Nook (or whatever) you don’t have to wait until my books come out at third-party stores to buy them. You can get them directly from Siren-BookStrand on release day!

I don’t like that. So I ended up buying a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 yesterday that works great. … Read More

Keep in mind I’m reviewing this gadget from the perspective of a professional writer first, reader second, and nerdgasming geek third. Also keep in mind I’m a speed touch typist, meaning the … Read More
iPad notes and comparisons (part 2)
Okay I did some research and found this app for the iPad called BlogPress and I’m obviously experimenting with it now. It was $3 I think. You can also use it for Facebook and Twitter posts and a couple of other things. So there is a workaround for basic blog updating, but IMO, it’s not … Read More
iPad notes and comparisons (part 1)
I’ve been playing with my new toy, our 32g iPad. We have the one that’s Wi-Fi only, because at home we have a wireless router. Some notes – if you’re like me and want to sync your Google contacts and calendar to it, don’t set it up with the Gmail option, go to Google’s site … Read More
New toy!!
Happy anniversary to us, we are now the proud owners of a 32g iPad. I’m working on a comparison to it versus my small Toshiba laptop, Kindle, nook, and Sony reader.
