    I promised you three So You Think You Can Dance Videos and then I dropped the ball. Sorry, SYTCD fans! The new season starts tonight, and it wouldn’t be the same without familiar face, creator/Executive Producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe. Once again, I had the chance to interview Nigel with fellow blogger Gilda Aliberti. She asks some…

    You may have seen a Microsoft store in your community and I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they sell a wide range of computers, tablets, phones, video games, and accessories. When I was asked to attend a webinar and visit a Microsoft store by The Motherhood, I’m not sure what I expected.…

    I didn’t know what to expect when we met the judges from So You Think You Can Dance. Turns out that Mary Murphy is not only beautiful, but a really nice person to talk with. She shared with us how she found her (unexpected) passion for ballroom dancing and how she eventually won her dad’s…

    I love So You Think You Can Dance. I think there’s a part of me that always wanted to be a dancer. I like that the show makes dancing current, exposes us all to new forms of dance, and provides a platform for celebrating talented young dancers. Plus, it’s fun to see your favorite contestants…

    We received a JuiceBar Multi-Device Pocket Solar Charger from CableOrganizer.com for review. I was excited about it, because I think it’s important to have basic preparations in place for emergency situations.  Solar power on a small scale isn’t going to revolutionize your life, but it can certainly help you out in a pinch. I’ve done…

    I have recently been asked to take part in a compensated campaign to learn more about the new Microsoft Stores that are popping up around the country and what I have learned has surprised me. Yes, you can buy Microsoft products in the stores, and yes, you can get tech support on any of your…

    I normally don’t announce movies so far ahead, but I am incredibly excited for “Finding Dory,” the sequel to Disney-Pixar’s “Finding Nemo.” Director Andrew Stanton shares, “One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why she was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In ‘Finding Dory,’ she will be reunited…

    I am not unhappy to see the end of March. March in New England is often dreary and there are almost no holidays (St. Patrick’s Day is fun, but it doesn’t mean a day off for most people). This March was made all that much more interesting by the death of my laptop and primary…

    When I first saw the ad for The Croods from DreamWorks Animation, I was skeptical. Cave men aren’t really my thing. But having seen the full trailer and read some reviews, I’m kind of excited to take the kids. It looks like a fun movie (it opens on March 22). And what better way to…
