OBAMA ADMINIISTRATION IS REALLY MOVING WITH THE SBA
SBA News Digest
Helping contractors and construction companies get capital faster:
The health and success of the construction industry is critical to our nation’s economy.
SBA knows that we must do all we can to make sure this sector grows, and can compete for contracting opportunities and create jobs. That is why SBA is proud to announce our new “Quick App” for surety bonds.

The Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: Olympic Tech
Greetings dear readers, the Lady Geek here with today's topic of the day. As many if not all of you are aware, today marks the end of the 2012 Olympic Games. This Geek girl has been following the ups and downs of the games, hoping to see our gold mount higher and higher. I am extremely proud to say that as of this writing America holds the number one position of Gold medalists! I am also going to take the time to thank our teams for their effort, talent, dedication and perseverance in competing.
Before we say goodby to the 2012 Summer Olympics, let us see why this year's games have been labeled by many as the most technologically conscious games of this century.

The Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: CISPA Defeated
Greetings dear readers, the Lady Geek here with your news of the technological world. As I write this, I have just spent an entire day educating a group of teen geeks in internet safety and security. Education is a rewarding experience that I enjoy immensely, not because of the money (I volunteer) but because one of my core goals as an IT professional from the community has always been to level the playing field for the non technically minded. I do this in the hopes that no one from the community be taken advantage of or 'sold' some unnecessary service again. From Basic Maintenance and repair to Parental controls and false ideas about the 'anonymity' of the internet, I feel it's part of my responsibility to inform and educate the masses about the simplicity of the technological world.
This brings me to today's topic, CISPA and it's defeat in the Senate.

Tech Part II:
Greetings dear readers, the Lady Geek here with today’s exploration of the technological world. As of today’s writing, I am dressed in my “Geekiform”. This consists of a sturdy pair of khakis, black t-shirt, and sensible yet unattractive black shoes. Your Lady Geek has just returned from the challenging task of a network repair and data recovery mission. So when I came home, the first thing I wanted to do is sit back and peruse my favorite tech magazines.
Imagine my surprise at the news that Google is taking yet another trip into unexplored territory. This week, it’s in broadband and cable television service. Without further adieu, I’d like to introduce you to their newest experiment.

The
Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: Finding George 2.0 A 3D LED TV Journey:
Greetings dear readers,
just a few weeks ago, I was lamenting the loss of the family Television,
George. After thirteen years of loyal service, this beautiful '98 Toshiba
projection screened television, the first "big" purchase in my adult
life. He was all black and shiny and big, fresh from a 'real store' and boy was
I happy with him! After saving for almost an entire year on a nanny's salary,
George the Television arrived just in time for my first born son's birth. Well, as you know, he's been chugging along
as best he can these last few weeks, the color and sound quite steadily
declining until today. Poor George will not power on at all.
Well, you were with me
on my journey to discovering the type of 'modern' television that would best
suit my family. Now with his passing,
I'm forced to ask you to join me on my expedition to finding the EXACT perfect
television fit for our family. Sometime later this week, most likely this
Friday, we will be welcoming George 2.0 home.
So sit back and enjoy the ride while we compare and contrast the four
final options in my search for George 2.0.

Greetings
dear readers from the wonderful City of Brotherly Love! As of this
writing, I have just returned from a very exciting day of teaching. As
you already know, this Lady Geek is a computer support technician and
part of my services includes teaching the uninitiated and computer
illiterate, the proper basic care and upkeep techniques as well as the
ins and outs of their new equipment. I love this aspect of my job,
because I am free to express myself, indulge in my passions and protect
the unprotected from those in 'Big Business' who would take advantage of
them.
I
only wish I could do more. One of the best things about my life is the
freedom I take for granted as an American. The freedom to dispense
information without fear of retribution from 'Big Brother' has always
been in my top ten list of great rights. Under this new Bill before the
House, that freedom might soon be gone from not just me, but everyone
who uses the internet.

Greetings
dear readers, the Lady Geek here with news from the wonderful world of
technology! As I write this, I am returning from a very wonderful journey
through the mega sale that my favorite IT shop holds twice a year. I can
not tell you how thrilling it is to walk into this place, smelling that 'New
Gadget" smell, knowing that I'm about to make a killer deal.
I
must admit, I got some great deals on products that weren't even near my
budget just six months ago, but that's the thing about the computer world,
isn't it? Every six months something newer, better, speedier and more
expensive hits the market, making the last "Big Thing" the
embarrassingly obsolete and significantly less pricey "Old
Thing". That goes for computer components to televisions and even
toilets in this day and age. This brings me to my topic of the day:
Future Tech.

The Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: Viacom vs Direct TV: Update
Greetings dear readers and welcome to today's journey into the world of technology. Last night, I found myself channel surfing with no real idea of what to watch. Friday night's at home are something quite unusual for this Geek Girl. However, last night was one of those rare nights where none of my carefully made plans went through and so, here it was, about eight pm and the house was remarkably quiet.
Not feeling like reading or gaming and not wanting to picking a random episode of some favored show or movie on Hulu or Netflix, I instead reached for my remote and just started channel surfing with the intention of finding something mind numbing to lose myself in for a few hours. That's when I noticed something I hadn't seen in a week. The Viacom channels were back in my Direct TV lineup!

The Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: Classroom Tech: The Evolution
Greetings dear readers, the Lady Geek here bringing you exciting news in the technological world. You know, it's been quite a few years since this Lady was a small Geekling first entering the exciting, fast paced world of Kindergarten. Back then we walked into a classroom decorated with brightly colored alphabet charts and smiling numerical pictures, there were play areas and board books and two of the most highly advanced things that technology offered at the time. That's right, both a record player as well as a tape recorder!
Oh those were the days! Well, here it is, the year 2012 and in a lot of America, education has come a long way. We've gone from black boards to Smartboards and even from 'brick and mortar' public schools to Cyber Charter Schools. Now, thanks to recent reasearch and studies in several states, many kiindergarteners are set to begin the new school year with IPads and laptops. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the times, they are a changin'!

The Lady Geek's Topic of the Day: Choosing a New Television
Greetings dear readers today is a beautiful day in Philadelphia, the sun is shining brightly, the humidity is at a minimum and my favorite coffee shop has a two for one special on these delightfully addictive double chocolate chip cookies. After I returned home yesterday from a house call, setting up a network that included my client's new 3D Television, I was greeted at my door by four decidedly sour faces. "Mommy, something's wrong with George.", my littlest son said despondently, and I immediately ran to the living room to assess the situation at hand.
Dear readers, as of this writing, I must bring sorrowful tidings. After thirteen years of loyal service and performance, my favorite 'old school relic', a lovely 1998 Toshiba 60 inch projection screen television named George has finally started to show his age. His color seems to be permanently stuck on bright orange for people and dark blue for background while his sound has become quite choppy and sketchy. George the television has provided countless hours of entertainment, family bonding and even education but now his time has come. Please indulge me as I call for a moment of silence in remembrance of our friend, George the Television....
Thank you. Now, as you have gotten to know me by now, my next statement should be of no surprise. Let the research for my shopping trip begin!

Greetings dear readers, I hope your summer so far is as enjoyable as mine has been. As of this writing, I have just returned from a wonderfully relaxing stint exploring summer in Philadelphia with my family. We took a historical walk through Center City, acted like tourists as we followed the paths our forefathers took on the path of revolution, strolled along the riverfront, stopping to listen to the free performances. Yes, it was relaxing and beautiful and hot and full of Philadelphia's renowned history, food and art. You know, being a Philadelphian born just shy of Independence day tends to give on a unique attitude about the meaning of justice, honor and equality for all.
That being said, let me be the first to say I do not like being bullied, especially by big corporations which leads me to today's topic...

Tales of the Lady Geek
Hello, Lady Geek here
with today’s installment of the tales of my technological life. I must admit,
it feels good to be back, and I hope you missed me as much as I’ve missed
you. As of this writing, I am enjoying a
purely non technical moment in time, relaxing in the “Mom Cave” that my
children and husband gifted me with last month in celebration of yet another
Geeklet to be. It’s so lovely and bright, freshly painted in different hues of
greens and blues with my favorite chair positioned ‘just so’ right next to the
shelves full of books, ready for story time or relaxation into another world.
At the well loved desk
is my new computer chair, thoughtfully provided by my best friend and on the
desk are my precious electronics, ready for my return to the fast paced world
of computer repair and support at any given time. During my hiatus, a truly remarkable thing occurred
in the technological world. Google has finally released the long-awaited entry
into the cloud storage scene, Google Drive. Add that with Microsoft’s revamped
SkyDrive and what we have before us is true competition to my favorite cloud
storage program, Dropbox.
This Lady Geek is
nothing if not thorough in her investigation, so without further adieu, my
topic of the day.

Silicon Valley's Facebook...the Great White Hope..
By Ziti
The valley is about to make more money. Facebook's valuation is said to be $100 billion in the ipo. There's nothing wrong with making money..of course we all want some. The problem is that the overwhelmingly white and some asian demographic of co-founders and engineers set to get a payday was closed to african-americans.
Who's crying!? Definitely not me.
