Something new from Google

Hi kids!  Tech news for once!  LOL.  Social networking on Google?  You betcha.  It's still in beta, so by invitation only right now, the mighty Google has brought us Google+, a really sharp looking, unique, multi-faceted approach to social networking.  I was invited by a guy who is following SwinTech Designs on Twitter.  So far, though I haven't played around with it a lot yet, it looks extremely kewl!  You can't make a business page yet, so unlike the Facebook and Twitter projects, this one is just little ol' me.  By the way, SwinTech Designs has both a Facebook and Twitter presence, so if you're reading this, please feel free to give us a "like" and a "follow."  Really trying to explore social networking as an avenue for generating interest and business with future customers.  If you'd like to try G+ and need an invite, and I haven't invited you already, leave me a comment, and I'll make sure you get one.  It's pretty sweet looking, from what I've seen so far.  You add people to different "circles" like friends, aquaintances, people to follow, and you can create custom "circles."  So, holler at me if you like, and join me!

God bless and geek on!

geek-style smokes!!!

Well, friends and neighbors, another attempt toward quitting smoking is upon us!  This time I'm armed with a "geek-style" smoke!  The NicStick electronic cigarette.  No tar or smoke, just water vapor and some nicotine.  And the beauty of it is, you can puff on these anywhere, and you won't offend or bother anyone!  It's water vapor!  Smoking in a movie theater again!  Restaurants again!  Work again!  Ok, I'm probably getting a bit involved.  Sorry.  This little darlin even charges its battery via USB!!  Geek?  I think so.  It's charging right now as I type.  LOL.  There are different strengths and flavors, starter sets, nicer sets, tank sets, accessories, all at NicStick's website.


Anyhow, wish me luck!

God bless and geek on!
