I was reading a fellow bloggers blog yesterday and I learned that Nokia has come out with a new free map service for their cell phones isn’t that great?
It’s called Ovi and as far as I can tell it’s a simple application download. It’s a navigation map application so you can get easy driving or walking instructions.
I checked it out yesterday at maps.nokia.com and it works for most of their cell phones, but naturally, it doesn’t seem to work on my older 2007 Nokia smart phone.
My phone still works great and I got it for free in a marketing promotion … but lately I have been thinking of getting a newer phone so I can take advantage of some of the cool applications like this one.

I tried to use my printer the other day and I think there’s something wrong with it. It seems like the alignment is all off and naturally it’s running out of ink!
I tried running the alignment feature but it didn’t help so now I’m trying to decide if I should spend money on ink for a machine that might not work properly or if perhaps once it has fresh ink if it will suddenly start working properly again. What do you think?
In the meantime I’ve been looking around online for a printer with features that I like. Our current one is a scanner, copier, fax machine and printer. I’d love to get another one that has all of those features. I don’t fax often, but I’m sure if I got a printer without a fax I’d suddenly need to fax out a signed contract or something.
One printer that caught my eye was the tm-t88iv It’s a thermal printer so it’s way more than I need for my home office, but it sure looks nice. I think I’ll be sticking to traditional models for now.
Any printer suggestions or any idea as to how to solve my printers alignment problem? It’s an HP BTW if that’s important.

Winter, blah! I think it’s time to start planning a vacation.
My husband and I haven’t been on a real vacation in ages. We always had an excuse for not taking a vacation – we were both working shift work and our schedules didn’t correspond for even a weekend get away, we didn’t have the money for a holiday or who will take care of our pets?
Enough excuses! I need holiday! Even if it’s only a few days away from home.
We live in Toronto so it’s easy enough to go just about anywhere we want. I’d been thinking of taking up one of those hotel deals in Niagara Falls for a weekend. Some of the hotels there are pet friendly so we could even bring our dog! Or maybe look into booking a new york cheap hotel for a weekend, well, if we could get a cheap flight to New York I mean.
I’d love to go away to the Caribbean or Mexico for a week or two, but I don’t think we can swing that right now … so maybe one or two short trips away will have to do. I’m sure it will help!
Do you go on holiday during the winter or in early spring? Doesn’t it help break up those winter blahs?

Do you use Twitter? If you do, did you make a short bio for your account?
I made a bio and in it I list that I’m an ER nurse. I didn’t get too many followers at first via listing that fact, as more people decided to follow me because I’d listed gardening and photography and dog owner in my bio as well.
Lately though I’m getting a lot of friend requests form RN organizations, fellow nurse and even some medical travel types of businesses.
I don’t talk about being a nurse on my blogs or on my Twitter account very often – mainly because I’ve been on medical leave from my work for about five years now due to Crohn’s disease. I’m sure I’d talk more about it if I were back to working regular shifts.
I do like connecting with fell ow nurses on Twitter as I can keep up on some things that are going on in the field. Even though most of my Twitter nurse friends are in the US and I’m in Canada there are a lot of similarities in our practices.
Do you connect with people in your profession or via things you’ve listed in your bio on Twitter?
