A friend of mine on Twitter sent me an invite to a new product I’ve wanted to try called Dropbox. It’s the best online file storage system I’ve tried in a long time – and I’ve tried most others by now such as xDrive and MyDocs. Dropbox is a very fast and easy install, and the file synchronization is better than most others offer. Dropbox also allows you to publicly offer files or create folders/files and send links to your friends for easy sharing.
I’ve also been playing with FeedJumbler as a way to create single RSS feeds from multiple feeds. It works pretty well and offers some features not offered by other tools of its kind, but I’m not crazy about how none of them make it very easy to add or remove source feeds.
The Yankees are having a terrible season, and NHL hockey just ended. Good thing some new shows are starting this summer and I have a ton of movies to watch! Two favorites – new seasons of 30 Days and Mad Men have started or will be starting soon.
I finally broke down and bought a ‘new’ 80GB Classic iPod. It IS brand new, but it’s hardly the newest model anymore. I love it. I have my entire music collection and a ton of podcasts and 2-3 seasons of TV shows – such as the first seasons of 30 Days, Rome, and The Tudors.
Great video from the Onion News Network: I want to share this great video from the Onion News Network. If you don’t watch their videos, be sure to start because you’re missing some of their best content. Historic Blockbuster Store Offers Glimpse Of How Movies Were Rented In The Past:

I suppose the friendly thing to do would be to introduce myself, but I’m not quite sure how much to divulge so I’ll just dip my toes in the water for now. I’m relatively private but also very honest so all my dirty laundry will eventually be out in the open. Just be patient. My name is Kristin. I live in northwestern Pennsylvania. I’ve lived here all my life, but I have been fortunate enough to travel a bit. I enjoy travel but never seem to have the money anymore. I’ve been thinking about saving up some cash so I can go back to NYC sometime next year – during baseball season so I can see another Yankees game.
I am attempting to get a divorce, but that’s another story for another day. I live by myself now in an apartment, but would like to find a house as soon as the divorce has been finalized. It’s actually really tough to buy a house when you’re still technically married to someone you haven’t had any contact with in years.
I live with my two cats, Hobbes and Dexter. I’m a bona fide animal lover. My own fuzzy creatures live like princes. I’d like to have a dog too once my lifestyle is more conducive to owning one. I’m sure having a house would be a good first step!
I work for an Internet marketing company that also happens to be the new media group for our local newspaper. The newspaper is actually our parent company and we’ll be moving into their offices later this year. I really enjoy my work so I’m very fortunate.
I should also mention a few hobbies to break the ice. I have been a computer geek since I was 11. I love learning about new technologies and there’s always something new to learn. Lately I’ve been working on learning more about blogs, RSS, iPods and podcasting. I just set up my first fantasy hockey team and have no clue where to start but I have to start somewhere. I know much more about baseball but thought I’d try hockey for now since the season is just beginning.
I love learning about a variety of subjects. I am very interested particularly in learning about history, politics, photography and cooking. I am considered a bit of a trivia nut when it comes to pop culture and history and sports. I like to read, watch movies, listen to music, putter on my PC, and ride my mountain bike. I enjoy going out for beers and conversation, but can be just as content to stay home and watch a movie. I like people quite a bit, but I suppose I’m really more of a loner.
I date occasionally but I haven’t met anyone I’d really like to date long-term, unfortunately. I definitely wouldn’t be with someone just to have someone in my life though so that’s OK.
Well, I suppose I’ve shared enough for one post. I hope to be able to grab and maintain some interest in this blog as time passes because I really enjoy writing!
