Last night, I excitedly installed the pre-release of the new Cooking Dash 3 Thrills and Spills. I’ve played a few casual games in my time, but haven’t delved into them lately. If you have played previous Diner Dash games, you will remember Flo & her Grandma as the main characters. They are back again, yet this time Flo and her friends are teenagers.

PAX 2010 Review
The beautiful city of Seattle was taken storm by gamers, geeks, freaks,and entrepreneurs over labor day weekend. This was my first gaming convention and PAX definitely did not disappoint. My picture says it all – a whirlwind of people demoing games, hardware and competing with others.
Here’s a list of my top five experiences at PAX 2010.
High Tech Travels – Day Two
categories: Geek Speak
Yes, I love my Android. I will continue to make posts about all the wonderful apps this phone has brought to me!

see how the spectrum of women gaming has changed. No longer are gamers just nerdy men who never bath or stay in their basements. Over half of all gamers are women!

Chat Terminology
categories: Geek Speak
Have you ever gotten an email or been chatting with someone and come across what looks like a foreign language in front of you? Basically it is a foreign language.

Exposed – Purpose of a Recycle Bin
categories: Basic, Computer Help
Recycle Bin = Trash can
Let’s say you have a banana peel and you take your banana peel and walk it over to your garbage can and drop it in. In 15 days are you going to walk back over to the garbage can and pick up your banana peel? I’m guessing the answer is NO. Okay, so I’m truly HOPING the answer is no, because that would be really disturbing. Many, many, many, computer users do those same steps with their recycle bin. Granted not with banana peels but you get the point.
