HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR PASSWORDS, ID, USER NAMES AND ALL THAT FOR VARIOUS WEB ADDRESSES?
Oh my goodness: the number of “bookmarks” in my Toolbar! Years ago, there were a few. Now, they are like rabbits: each site or blog I look at directs me to more, those direct me to even more! And, sorry to say, I DO follow the links and am fascinated by just the sheer number and variety of what is being put out there for me to read. It’s overwhelming? Well, it can be. But then again, I have a pretty good idea of what interests me and where I (generally) want to go.
But my real question is: how do you “store” or keep track of the vital information for “secure” sites such as banking, shopping, credit cards etc.? Even if you ask the computer to “remember me”, it will not do that for your password. So, what to do? Well, I have a really clever, fun book called “Internet Journal”. Here is the cover, and here is a sample page.
I know, we’re not supposed to write down all this information. And, of course, we’re not supposed to keep it on our computer, unsecured. So what to do? You can’t possibly remember it all, especially after some site tells you it’s time (for some random reason) to change your password. Impossible. So……I record it all in this nifty book! It sits right on my desk at work. I know, there it is for all to see, right? Well, no, actually it’s hidden. And, what’s more, my office is mine alone and is locked. The chances of someone seeing that book are so minimal that I will risk it.
What do you do? No need to tell us your secrets; just some general ideas or suggestions will do!
Detail of the Day
Do you have favorite everyday objects that you adore? Maybe you don’t really “see” them each day; they have become part of your “landscape”. You use them—or maybe you don’t—but they are THERE. They are part of what you see everyday. You ARE aware of what you are seeing each day, aren’t you?
This blog is subtitled “An Eye for Detail” so, of course, I DO concentrate on the large and small details of my world! I guess it’s fair to say that just about each and every item in my house has been chosen, edited and placed with lots of thought!!!
Look at the picture to the right here: it is a small cream pitcher. Simple but very colorful. Then, there is the small square dish that I bought at the same time. (Yes, these are from Dieulefit, France) I’ve used it for everything from olives to chutney to hand soap. I like the colors of these two items; but then I also like the simple lines. Details.
Second item(s): Again, these are simple and straight forward but oh those colors! I am so afraid one of these is going to break some day! The cream pitcher pours beautifully. The sugar bowl has a nice slot for the silver spoon. They fit easily on a tray to take tea or coffee out to the terrace. Details.
I’ll do more on “details” in future posts. Do you have any to share?
Oh so many colors to choose from! There’s PINK. Then ORANGE or CORAL. Then YELLOW. And of course BLUE.
Here are some synonyms for the color BLACK: strong, sophisticated, mysterious. And, here are some for PINK: glow, love, and now: “couture”. Put them together and you will see a lot of sophisticated color.
Pink will be seen all over in men’s wear for Fall ’09; from ties to shirts to yes, socks!
It is already, of course, in women’s wear: think Lilly Pulitzer and Vera Bradley.
Stationery Trends Magazine shows lots of pink in both the Winter 2009 and Spring 2009 “Fresh Picks” section.
And one of my favorite sites for COLOR COLOR AND MORE COLOR is Maine Cottage. They do a really wonderful job not only in presentation, but the quality of their furniture and fabrics is of the highest standard. Wish I could afford some of that furniture! Take a look at the slide presentation “Finding Rhubarb”; you will not be disappointed!
