Mom, Look at the Mountains!
My daughter looked at the top of my Chrome Web Browser and said, “Mom, look at those mountains!” I gave her a puzzled look. Living in Iowa, we don’t see many (actually, any) mountains when we look out our window. She pointed to the top of my screen. Yes, they did look like mountains. I…
Google Keep
Google Keep is one of the lesser-known members of the Google Family. It is similar to MS OneNote or even the Windows Sticky Notes. When I opened up a document that someone had shared with me today, I followed a pop-up tip that showed me that you could drag and drop comments from Google Keep into…

OnStar to the Rescue!
Trying to be “green,” I reached over my seat to get the canvas bags I had for grocery shopping. Somehow, while I was doing this, my car keys ended up in the front seat now behind a locked car door! Never fear, OnStar is here! Now, what was that number? I dialed 800-4OnStar. Got a…
