The air outside is silky and scented with lilacs and peonies as our days heat up in the loveliest ways. Aaaahhh … summer. In this week’s round up, our Twitter and Facebook chatter dove headlong into the whimsy of this busy season — ice cream, summer planning … and some work-centric stuff, too, like cleaning up computer files and buying extended warranties.
What is your method for cleaning up files on your computer? Any favorite programs?
Your computer might need to be cleaned of everything from crusty keyboard snack relics to old files — Lifehacker offers 10 broad strategies to get you started. For Mac owners, CleanMyMac 2 is an awesome and simple option. Either way, it is time and money worth investing for ease and organization.
Do you purchase extended warranties like cellphone insurance or Apple Care?
Simple answer – it depends. But, it doesn’t sound like a bad idea based on some of the from-the-trenches reports from Apple owners that include full-machine replacements and warranties that will transfer.
Done yoga outside? Watched a movie on a rooftop? What warm weather activities are you planning?
Not sure where to begin? Check out Mpls.St.Paul’s 90 Days of Summer … . We’ll be mini-golfing for sure.
Maple bacon ice cream? Sweet corn blueberry? Lavender? What is the most unusual ice cream flavor you’ve tried?
This blogger just had a fresh rhubarb cone at Pumphouse Creamery. And, I plan to check out Sweet Science Ice Cream and revisit an old favorite — Sebastian Joe’s. And, sometimes, classic Dairy Queen or Cold Stone frozen goodies do the trick.
