Connectivity

OK, I admit it. Mr. Beisbolfan & I are geeks. We really enjoy gadgets. Between us, we use, on a daily basis, 3 laptops, an iPad, a Blackberry, and an iPod touch. And two regular (non-smart) cellphones, numerous televisons, DVRs, XM radios, etc. We've come to rely on being connected to everything, any time, all the time. But now that I have multiple devices from which to access e-mail, social media, etc., each time I pick up one of them, it demands my attention for everything. You have a new facebook message! But I read that 6 hours ago on my computer. You have 43 new e-mails! But I deleted 41 of them already -- they're junk. Attention, all you hackers, identity thieves, and other cybercriminals who are trolling blogs, facebook, etc. trying to make a quick buck. Please develop an app / add-on / program / something that I can install to let all my electronic devices know that I've already checked my e-mail, facebook, etc. I'd probably pay money for it. C'mon, you computer geniuses!

I was recently reminded by my readership (Mr. Beisbolfan, to be exact) that it's been a while since I posted. I knew that, but didn't think anyone else noticed. He likes me, he really likes me!
