The weekend...




Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to sign off for the week with a link to this interesting New York Times story, headlined "Gadgets you should get rid of (or not)."

In sum: Dump the desktop, keep the books (with one exception-cookbooks???)

Have a lovely weekend!

Books - keep them! Most definitely agree!
GPS - lose it. That's the one I have to disagree with. Love having that Garmen mounted in front of me.

Happy weekend!! :)

While I love the idea of seeing how a dish is supposed to look and visuals of the methods used to get it there. . . I just think of the food-splattered pages of my cookbook collection, collected over 20 years and shutter to think what would happen to an electronic device on my countertop.

what an interesting article...I don't have a smartphone though, so I guess it doesn't apply! haha.

I could never get rid of my cockbooks! I'd starve then... (maybe that just tells something different about me than the article intended :))

I disagreed with a few of their suggestions. Losing thumb drives and placing things in the cloud, for instance, is not something that has worked for me in the past.
...And of course, I could never ever lose the books or the cookbooks.
