Monthly Archives: January 2009

Hi all, this will be the first of what will hopefully be a weekly post full of tech tips.

With over 10 years of an online presence I’ve had to find free and easy ways to maximize both my time and energy. At this very moment there are 136 unread email messages in my inbox and I’m not worried about. Why?

Gmail has filters, use them.

Do you get a weekly email from your child’s school? How about press releases (I get about 30 of those a day)? Let’s create a quick filter together.

First logon to gmail, click the settings tab up at the top right part of the screen

Next select filters

In 1976 I was the brunette Jew in a sea of blondes and Manhattan Beach was the whitest place on earth. I told my parents I wanted to be President , “You can do anything you put your mind to.” My father said, although secretly we both knew it was a lie.

I knew I could own a business, I knew I could write a book, or be an attorney. I knew that I would go to college, and perhaps more school after that. I also knew, as did my father, that I’d never be president.

As of  January 21, 2009 when a child, any child tells their parent that they want to be president, and the answer is, “You can do anything you put your mind to.” It won’t be a lie.

The only application I’ve ever purchased for my iPhone is iFart.

But I was busy being outclassed.

I was at the Consumer Reports Health Summit (actually I got to speak there too)

Were you here today? Tell the folks at Media Bistro how it was, they promised to let everyone know how it went…

I left the house this morning at 6.30 and arrived at JFK promptly at 4.45.

I checked into The Time Hotel at roughly 6 and wandered around the city for a few hours, just stretching my legs and acclimating myself.

Treated myself to an amazing dinner with not one, but two glasses of wine, met a friend for drinks and now I’m back in the room snug and sound.

Tomorrow I’ll blog live at www.EcoChildsPlay.com from the Health Summit. There are amazing guest speakers and I’m startled by the quality of company I keep.

I’m beat. The last few days have been long.

It’s a list sort of day.

President Barack Obama. Wow.

Quaker will give a million bowls of oatmeal, but you’ve got to help.

I had a great party with remarkable women, diverse voices and huge hearts. I promise a wrap up with shout outs, they are all amazing, Slackmistress brought booze… bless her soul, I’m blitzed.
