"If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0"

I am - like this website - a work in progress, undergoing iterations, upgrades, and software updates (couldn't help myself with the computer comparison). My passion lies in lifestyle technology. I love to write about gadgets, web applications, startups-- basically anything that’s quirky (like me). My hope is that this blog will inspire you to 'Geek Out' without intimidation or boundaries.

I'm always open to suggestions and feedback. Feel free to email me any new ideas you find, as I'm always looking for the BBT (i.e. Bigger Better Technology).

<3,
Meghan

Recently, I&#8217;ve tried to ignore my bank activity out of fear that I&#8217;m loosing money in stocks, our start-up, and of course let&#8217;s not forget my perpetually overpriced Manhattan lifestyle. Over the years, I&#8217;ve accumulated quite a few bank accounts. At one point, I had &#8216;Bank Account ADD&#8217; opening multiple checking, savings, mutual fund, brokerage accounts&#8212; the list goes on (ugh!!!). I&#8217;ve opened accounts in way too many places to keep track. So, this morning I decided to brave looking at my personal finance accounts, which is quite an ambitious task. Instead of using my usual QuickBooks Online, I decided to sign up for Mint.com. This site has been up for quite sometime, but I’ve never felt compelled to use&#8212; until now. After signing up and giving my account information, I was able to see how I&#8217;ve been spending my money, my net worth, and areas I&#8217;ve overshot my wad (I’m talking dollars people- jeez!). I&#8217;m a HUGE advocate of Mint it&#8217;s clear, quick, easy to use, and aggregates ALL of your bank accounts into one well-designed interface. Thanks Mint.com for bringing me some much needed clarity on what seemed like an overwhelming personal finance debacle. Did I mention that I received all this clarity for free? Kudos, to this website, I&#8217;m a happy girl. Now, if only my stocks performed this well&#8230;
