  Free Software Roundup: Not All Freeware is Created Equal eleven things, frugality, software, technology | (16)

  Every Friday is 11 Things day at Living Behind the Curve. One of the classic Internet truisms is that the web is a treasure trove of free software. Unfortunately, many of the free programs available today contain spyware, malware, or viruses. There are still some true gems out there, if you know where to look. Mer and I put on our thinking caps to bring you this list of excellent free software, in celebration of Embrace Your Geekiness day. Although I am a regular Ubuntu user, I decided to make this list Windows-centric simply because almost everything in the Linux 'verse is ...

  Fry up Some Funnel Cake — It’s Carnival Time! blog carnivals, carnival of personal finance, carnival of the recipes, debt reduction, festival of frugality, frugality, personal finance, recipes, technology | (1)

  While the nation was celebrating with fireworks and cotton candy, we were home catching up on sleep and Harry Potter. We did participate in a number of blog carnivals this week, however: here is a recap of those carnivals along with a few of my favorite posts. Carnival of Recipes The Carnival of Recipes went live on Sunday, hosted this week by Wee Wifey. The Hawaiian Burger recipe (made with teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice) posted by Deputy Headmistress had me salivating. Emrack's Mashed Potato Casserole sounds like a giant dish of comfort food - I can't wait to try it. Chef Jules at ...

  Revenge of iLuddite apple, frugality, gadgets, lifestyle, technology | (4)

  Every so often, a story pops up that forces me to be topical and timely. That means you get a bonus post! I admit it, I had a little tiny orgasm when I caught my first glimpse of the Apple iPhone. It's everything I ever wanted in a cellphone -- I've been grouching for years that the pocket-PC-run cell/PDA's were sorta what I needed, with big screens and QWERTY keyboards and combining all those little gizmos life requires into one doodad with a big shiny screen, but they're expensive and slow and sorta not very good. iPhone, on the other hand, ...

  Escaping the Email Burden: A Confession email bankruptcy, goat-free simplicity, lifestyle, simplicity, technology | (0)

  Every Thursday is Goat-Free Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve. I was a geek anomaly – the one person among my peers that always had an empty Inbox. Every time someone remarked freeing it must be, I shivered. I was slave to my folders. Every time I joined a new list, or made a new contact, I created a new filter, a new label.

  Every Thursday is Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve. Ever since geeks and paranoid isolationists collectively pulled their hair out over Y2K, the entire planet has been swept up in a personal gizmo renaissance – excepting Japan, of course, which seems to have always tapdanced on the bleeding edge of blinking electronic evolution. Gazillions of batteries give their lives every year to feed our need for little injection-molded pieces of plastic that go “bloop!” in a friendly manner. Second only to cellphones, iPods are arguably the iconic personal gizmo of our time. Think about it. Those white earbuds are so recognizable, ...
