Digital ABE


Thanks to youtube and google, dare I state the obvious, we all have a tundra of information literally at our fingertips. Just when I was feeling bad for myself for only reading the Twilight books I realized that I have other redeeming qualities when it comes to my depth: I have become a modern day Abraham Lincoln (sorta, let me have my moment). So what if I don't sit in a musty library with smelly books? I thought I would reflect on all the things that I've taught myself with a few well-configured key word searches:

  • How to poach an egg
  • How to apply false eyelashes
  • How to replicate McDonald's "special sauce"
  • How to use a blackberry without a trackball
  • How to fix hyper pigmentation (dark spots on ur face) with baking soda
  • How to do my makeup
  • How to do my hair
  • Everything there is to know about HD TV's (ask me anything you want to know about HDMI cables etc)
  • Where and how to get a custom made corset
  • How to breakdown "read only" files
  • Everything there is to know about PDF's and OCR (optical character recognition)
  • The best back up solution for my computer
  • Can I still eat this: Food that I defrosted and refroze? Food that has been sitting there for a few days and is making me feel nervous but throwing it out makes me feel like a bad person
  • The health benefits of pine nut oil and where to buy
  • Calories in just about everything (I have still not had a Margarita to date)
  • How to get gum off my patent leather shoes
  • Is he married?
