Happy New Year from The Wonder of Tech! Thank you, dear readers, for making 2011 a wonderful year by visiting this blog, leaving stellar comments, subscribing, sharing the posts and supporting me in so many other ways.
Janet Callaway, a dear friend and super blogger, has a wonderful list of quotes and toast for the new year at her blog post “17 Quotes and Toasts to Bring in the New Year.” From her post, I am sharing my favorite wish for you:
Another quote from Janet’s post is an inspiring New Year’s resolution for you:
Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. Sydney Smith
I hope 2012 is your best year yet!
Stay tuned for more fun and useful tech from The Wonder of Tech in the coming year.
Have a Tech-tastic 2012!
What are your plans for the New Year? Are you excited for what is ahead in 2012? Let us know in the Comments section below!

Happy New Year to you Carolyn!
Thank you very much, Carol! I hope 2012 is a great year for you and your wonderful new blog! 🙂
A very Happy & Prosperous New Year to you and yours as well Carolyn!
Looking forward to learning more from your amazing blog in the coming year 🙂
Hi Harleena, Thank you! May 2012 be a fantastic year for you and your family as well! 🙂
3,650 huh; did he account for the leap years, OR did he not want to make people happy on those particular days? Inquiring minds want to know…….
I think 2012 will be a year of opportunity and growth; as we mature in social, it will become clearer what works for us and what doesn’t. For better or worse, it will help us view the true motives of others with clarity and not through rose colored glasses. I’m not that concerned about one’s ‘mission’, just be real, just be accountable and I will decide if it’s worth hanging around.
Here’s to a great 2012 and I look forward to seeing you around.
PS – I misspoke on my battery; I think the 7% was because I used it some before I shut it down for the night. The last two nights I let it recharge until right before bed time and both mornings I woke up it was at 100%. Hmmmmm…….
Hi Bill, You know what your good old friend Abe Lincoln said, “You can’t please all of the people all of the time.”
Great point, Bill. 2012 will truly be a shake-out year for social media. There so many social media platforms by now, you have to be pretty dedicated to keep up with it all.
I’m already amazed at how many bloggers have dropped out since you and I started our blogging journey. I’m hoping that this time next year, you and I will have another virtual toast to the new year!
As far as your iPhone battery goes: aha! Whatever app you had open the night that your battery drained to 7% is your culprit. Do you know what app you used right before you went to sleep that night? You can keep using the app, just be sure to force it to close fully after you are finished using it.
A very happy 2012 to you, my friend! (*)
Happy New Year Carolyn.
I’m sure that 2012 will be a fantastic year for both of us, and everybody who’ll stay in touch with us. That’s because we’re hustling, and we’re going to help everyone around us so they’ll experience success as well.
Everything is so much more fun when we keep focusing on people, building relationships and focusing on people who care, that’s when the true power is revealed.
Cheers for 2012 and for it being the best year ever 🙂
Hi Jens, Godt Nyttår! (See, I’m working on my Norwegian! :-bd ) I agree with you completely. Connecting with people is a big part of the fun of blogging and I’m so glad we met in 2011. You definitely work hard, Jens, not only on your blog but also on supporting others as well. Thank you so much for all of your support of me and The Wonder of Tech during the year.
Skål to you too, Jens! I wish the best for you in 2012. I look forward to you publishing your novel this year!
I hope you had a wonderful New Years celebration. <:-P
Happy New Year Carolyn! Thanks for your support, friendship, great tips and posts…it’s been such a pleasure getting to know you! My big plan for the New Year is to win a new car 🙂 (or to buy one if that plan falls through…).
Hi Ruth, I wish you the best of luck in winning that car. You deserve it! Thank you very much for all of your support of me and others in the writing community. Your blog is aces and I’m so glad I discovered it this past year.
I hope 2012 greets you with many treasures, including a new car, Ruth! 🙂
You and Janet are the two people I was so glad to connect with in 2011. You both have great content on your blogs and are such nice people. Here’s hoping 2012 brings more wonderful people like you two into my world! 😉
Thanks so much, Amber. As it happens, you too are one of my very favorite connections for 2012. It has been my pleasure “getting to know you . . .”
Your blog posts are amazing because I feel both a connection as I am reading them as well as the emotion evoked. You are a very talented writer.
wishing you a 2012 filled with abundance in all that matters to you and, always, happiness in your heart. Hauoli Makahiki Hou. Janet
Hi Amber, You’re right, Janet is a treasure. Not only is she an incredible blogger and friend, she connected the two of us! She truly is a Natural Networker.
Thank you for all of your support during the past year. It’s amazing I’ve only known you a short time, and I look forward to enriching our friendship in the coming year.
Best wishes for much continued success in 2012, Amber! 🙂
Happy New Year Carolyn! Thank you for sharing those quotes from Janet’s post. I loved them too and enjoyed them very much. You know I’m a lover of quotes.
I look forward to what you’ll continue to educate us all in the tech and gadget world. I have no doubt there will be plenty of new things cropping up all the time and you’ll be the first to let us know.
I’m so glad we had the chance to get to know one another this year and consider you one of my really good blogging buddies. I’m excited about what the future holds for us both and so glad we are on this journey together.
Stay tuned for my post tomorrow and you’ll see what I have in store for this new year.
Happy New Year Carolyn!

Hi Adrienne, You and Janet are great at quotes and inspiration. I am so grateful to you for all of your support. This blogging journey sure would be lonelier without you, my dear friend.
I have learned so much from you, Adrienne and I know I have a lot more to learn. I’m very glad we can support each other by sharing our knowledge and support.
I eagerly await your post tomorrow and all of your other upcoming posts in 2012! Happy New Year, Adrienne! <:-P
Carolyn, aloha. How great to see the new year start with a sharing of these great quotes. As I mentioned to you, I had fun putting them together and there were several that I quite liked.
Carolyn, 2012 is going to be a year of unending delights. It is with great anticipation that I look forward to deepening my relationship with existing friends, meeting interesting people, enjoying serendipitous experiences and all the beauty that life has to offer.
And, of course, Carolyn, I count on you to keep educating me on tech. Imagine the excitement we will share when I finally get over thinking a smartphone is a phone and switch from my BB to Apple.
Wishing you all that makes your heart sing. Hauoli Makahiki Hou. Janet
Aloha, Janet, Thank you for your fantastic post with the toasts and wishes for the new year. When I started to write this post and consider the wishes I could give my readers, I knew you had the best ones out there!
I look forward to sharing your many joys ahead in 2012, including your getting a new iPhone. I’m delighted to help you every step of the way as you discover all of the fun and useful ways to use your new gadget.
Mahalo also, Janet, for all of your support of me and The Wonder of Tech. You have helped me in so many ways and have been a solid and steady friend. I wish you the very best in 2012, Janet. You deserve it! 🙂
Happy new year, Carolyn. And thanks for presenting high-tech information in such a way that a low-tech grandfather can understand what you’re talking about.

Hi Carolyn,

That could be another app of interest.
I hope the New Year is going well so far. I’m not too well but the light is great today so I might photograph a few buildings. I have a blog to write for today first!
Hi Mike, What a great app! I downloaded it, as you suggested. I will give it a whirl and review it later if it’s was wonderful as it seems.
Thank so much for the suggestion. 🙂
Hi Carolyn. I thoroughly enjoyed your site through out 2011 and eagerly await your posts during 2012. Happy New Year!

Hi Ashvini, I’m very surprised to hear that you started your blog only last year. You have come a long way, including publishing a Kindle book. Amazing!
I wish you the best and more continued success in 2012, Ashvini!
I’ve done the editing tutorial! I hope you find it useful. I’m thinking abut having my eyes tested while the optician is quiet in January. I might take better photos when I can see what I’m doing! 🙂
Hi Mike, I loved your editing tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing your photography knowledge with us. I especially loved the before and after pictures as well as the sepia one.
I’m thinking your photography vision has very little to do with your eyesight, Mike, but I hope all goes well at the eye doctor’s.
