A few of my favorite things

some of my brushes

No, not whiskers on kittens.  I like dogs, smart dogs anyway. Dumb dogs are…dumb.  But that’s not what I want to talk about.  Someone asked me recently what my favorite gadgets were.  Ironically I got the question on my iPhone.

Some of Nancy’s favorite stuff

tools

  • My paint brush with the big handle and the bristles that are always soft.
  • My iPhone 4 and my MacBook Pro  – buddies with matching cases
  • The remote control to the TV .. actually it’s a frustrating object, but I really use it a lot.
  • My ergonomic gardening trowl (please send me more)

books

software stuff

  • Hootsuite
  • Evernote (Get the Safari plug in and let your world rock )
  • Camtasia (my very own video editing studio, I’m just getting used to it but it has changed my life in 30 days )
  • Skype ( I plan to use this for all my consulation calls from now on, so  get it and call me.  Just search NVanReece . If I know you, I’ll approve you and we’ll talk! You don’t have to turn on the video, just use it to make a call, ya’ll.  It has a cool smartphone ap too.)

place to go in Nashville

  • metro parks – love them
  • art galleries – nashville is so very right brained
  • local eats – I do my best to never eat at chain restaurants (sometimes I am fooled by franchises)
  • coffee –  one of the best coffee towns in the entire world, right here.
