Why I don’t need a Tablet

Greetings dear readers, ‘tis I, the Lady Geek with your article of the day about a serious pondering I’ve been having during the last few months: To Tablet or not to Tablet.

When I was a young girl every week I visited my older sister’s office. As I would sit very quietly in the big wooden chair just in front of the receptionist’s desk, my focus was solely centered on the woman behind the desk whose back was to me. Her posture was perfect, her concentration as precise as her fingers moved so elegantly and competently over the keys of her electrically powered typewriter creating an extremely lovely clicky-clak rhythm of importance. As a five year old GIT (Geek In Training) I decided that whatever I did as a grownup had to involve typing and making that same beautifully musical rhythm!

The Lady Geek's Program of the Day: Microsoft Security Essentials

 Tales of the Lady Geek

Hello dear readers, as of this writing I am just returned from a trip to the local Radio Shack where I’ve spent a lovely afternoon chatting with one of the best techno minds I’ve ever encountered.  We were debating the merits and failings of various software and in particular Anti-virus programs, actually, we were getting pretty heated with our discussion because every tech has their favorite program, thus we were debating the many paid versions of Internet Security versus old fashioned virus removal and prevention software.

New Video: Donnie Klang - X Miss

Do you guys remember MTV's "Making The Band's" token white boy, Donnie Klang? If you don't then let me bring you up to speed. ;-)

Donnie Klang had won the "Making The Band" season 4 competition along with Que, and the rest of the Day 26 group. The only difference is Donnie was offered his own solo deal. He came out with an album titled "Just A Rolling Stone" back in 2008 and since then we haven't heard from him.

That is until now! Donnie Klang has released a Christmas single titled "X-Miss" and the video was directed by my husband, James "Kraze" Billings. So take a look at the new video when you click on the "Full Story" button below:

Are Joe Budden & Tahiry Going To Work Things Out?

Joe Budden and Tahiry happened to be one of my favorite couples in Hip Hop. They were entertaining and seemed to compliment each other. That is until they broke up. No one was more confused about the couples break up then me because I always thought these two were on the same page, but apparently not.

Well now, it seems that there might be some hope out there as I just happened to check out World Star and came upon a video of Joe Budden and Tahiry discussing a possible reconciliation!! Yay!!! But before we all start cheering for the two, it seems that they have some unresolved issues that need to be worked out before they can re-connect. So let's cross our fingers and hope for the best while checking out their conversation with each other when you click on the "Full Story" button below:

Consequence & Q-Tip Make Up

Rapper Consequence and his cousin, legendary MC Q-Tip have been at odds since Consequence felt like Q-Tip was one of the reasons his album was pushed back soo many times. Kanye West was the other reason. And like many other beefs, I didn't think this one was too serious because at the end of the day they are family. We all have issues with our families at times so I just thought it would be a matter of time before the two straightened things out.

Now, although their reconciliation took some time, they did end up getting over their differences and working it out. The photo above is of Consequence and his son (Caiden) along with Q-Tip after everything was hashed out. I'm liking the family love! It's Christmas time so let's embrace each other and start over. That's what it's all about!

So with that said, check out the announcement Consequence put out regarding his reconciliation with Q-Tip when you click on the "Full Story" button below:

Timbaland Married His Wife Because She Looked Like Aaliyah

As I told you guys in an earlier post, Timbaland was recently featured on E!'s "True Hollywood Story". The interview that the show did with Timbaland was mind blowing and Timbaland revealed and confessed a lot. In fact, some of the things Timbaland mentioned caught me by surprise. For instance, when Timbaland admitted to being in love with Aaliyah....that shocked me! Secondly, when Timbaland mentioned that when he first saw his wife he said he was going to marry her because she looked just like Aaliyah...that shocked me even more.

Tyler The Creator Gets Arrested & Acts Crazy

Tyler The Creator has always been the weirdest member (to me) out of the group "Odd Future". I never really reported on anything Tyler The Creator does because I just never got it.....if you understand what I'm trying to say. Anywho, the boy has gotten himself arrested after an "alleged" vandalism report and was then booked by officers.

However, not one to disappoint his fans, when a reporter approached the police cruiser and yelled "Tyler we love you!", Tyler stuck his tongue out, rolled his eyes and proceeded to act crazy (as if that was any surprise). So if you want to check out Tyler acting crazy, then by all means click on the "Full Story" button below:

The man who "Bought a zoo" must be trying to get a new pair of balls as well. Damon's comments about President Obama needing "larger balls" is both insulting and playground humor.
