Save your MacBook screen

15 November 2015 by kristarella Leave a Comment

It’s a thing with MacBook screens that sometimes they get marks from the keyboard on the screen.

I recently did a talk at the North Sydney WordPress Meetup about Search Engine Optimization for beginners and best practices in WordPress.

Google Maps for iPhone: woooot!

13 December 2012 by kristarella

The official Google Maps for iPhone came out today! I’m pretty excited. Apple maps wasn’t so bad, if you live in California and possibly inner-city China.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
