I'd like to start by wishing all my favorite genies out there a VERY Happy New Year!!! One fortunate aspect of beginning each new year is that we have the opportunity to resolve to do almost anything to make positive changes in our lives. Granted, we can do this at almost any time DURING the year, but the New Year’s celebration gives us a kick in the pants to really get going. Start a diet? Done! Quit smoking? Patches ordered! Spend more time with the family? Vacation reserved for summer! Look for a new job? Classifieds and networks engaged!
But for genealogists, what can we resolve to do during 2007 that will help us with our research? Did I hear, “Get organized”? Bing-Bing-Bing – right answer! In new programming entitled File Not Found, Amy Johnson Crow offers a plethora of time and sanity-saving tips to help us all get our computer files better organized. Most genies suffer from at least some form of TMI (too much information), but a lot of us also suffer from WDIFWIKIH (where do I find what I know I have?), and Amy helps get us started on cleaning up and organizing everything from documents to photos. Take a few minutes and see if she helps you, too!
In other new Programming, Heir Jordan 3, professional genealogists/author/actor/native New Yorker, Jordan Auslander, flaunts his new movie deal, answers the question of what OCD and genies have in common, and lets you in on his secret catatonic version of Las Vegas. Og loves a good laugh, and Jordan always gets me going!
Wishing you happy file hunting,
Og from Roots Television
