Well I did check out the Zoho writer & I really liked it - no moving when editing & really simple to use. This will be another thing I will continue to use in my next adventure!! I ran across the doxie creed & thought it was not only cute but extremely accurate!

To Wiki or not to Wiki . . .

Well I think the fun exercises were the first 5 & I might add that I'm very glad to have been here to be a part of them. Last week well I didn't do that one:-) & I have chosen not to Wiki. Much like Wanda - its just not right when someone else comes along & deletes something you want posted somewhere.

A message from Samantha Jane

Just a baby 1 year old!

She told you! I just knew she was going to tell everyone. Yes its true, my mom found me on postaroo. It was an experience to say the least. Very neat idea - totally free & it can be used without giving out your personal info. I actually found Samantha or I should say she found me by placing a wanting to buy ad on this site. Within a week I had just what I had been looking for.

Week 6

I guess the positive side of a person not eligible for the prizes is they really don't feel they have to do all the exercises. Now if there were something involved besides all the knowledge I'm receiving I too would have to play the game. That said I really don't think I like the idea of or have any use for something they "are working on" being able to delete off their site. There is something not right with that or at least to me. To the rest of you . . . ENJOY

Rollyo

Well I created an account in Rollyo & added a couple searches. I have included a link to this on this page. I was not impressed with this application at all:-(

LibraryThing

I found this excerise to be very easy to do & would be useful to help organize your collection or an easy way to add to it. My book of choice is true crime novels. One of my favorites Fatel Vision was later made into a movie. Interesting is in the Chronicle today there was made mention about this & included a web site - which I have included a link to for anyone so inclined.

Instant Sketch

This was really easy to do & actually did the picture of Sami really well. I tried doing a sketch of people but it well I'll just say I decided to try the dog. It was really nice as it did allow me to send the sketch via email to up to 5 mailboxes.

Blogging, Flickring & Feeds.....OH MY!

Well to say this excerise isn't as fun as previous ones would be - I'll just say would not due justice to my experience!! I did get the idea got my account on bloglines & have several feeds - to include some coworkers blogs - but I can not get the silly little icon on this blog page!! I keep trying & it keeps telling me the same ~ invalid url. So I'll try again some other day.

Mike & Charity

Took me a while to do this one. Couldn't get it on my blog!!

Window Watching

Thats better just let me look out the window!

My Favorite Spot . .

This is Samantha Jane. She loves sitting on the end of the couch & hanging off the arm so she can look out the window. Or just look at me taking her picture:-) She is a long hair mini dachsund. She was a country girl who is adjusting very well to life in the "big city"!!

And I didn't think I could do this!! Very glad for 2.0! Was so much easier than I thought it would be.

Now What??

So today I brought my digital camera with me. I have had it for probably 8 months now, Have about 80 pictures on it & am totally clueless on how to get them into the computer!!! Of course when I purchased my camera I did get a good name brand - well I think its a good one - hoping on a very intense instruction manual. The instruction manual is on line. Needless to say I have yet to venture on line to get it but now looks like I need to!!! Next?? Post with pictures:) We'll see I'm not so sure . . . .

I guess not being allowed to play for the "toys" does have its advantages!!!

By George I think I Did it!

Although I really don't want to set myself up for a let down ~ I do think I have successfully used flicker to add a picture on my blog, giving credit to the person who actually took the picture & are all in the correct order . . . or at least I hope so. Tomorrow the camera comes......How scary is that! Its fun to learn new things:-)

Its been a very long day.....

Ask & Ye shall receive!

Where oh where has my editing tools gone...

OK they were on this page & now they are gone. I have checked to be sure I have the setting set correct but no tools. Any ideas?? I guess Technology is also a challenge for me!

7 1/2 habits . . my thoughts are:

Of course the easiest has to be to play. I have always been a firm believer in incorporating play into any learning - & as I have done staff trainings in the past you make it fun & people are more apt to take away from it what was intended. Of course you also must know where to draw the line. The hardest for me would be to view problems as challenges. Let me tell you life Has thrown me so many - many curve balls & the only thing I have learned is I HATE curve balls!! There have been of course the occasional smaller learning experiences - I think we all have those. OK enough of that. One last thing THANKS Edie ~ This blogs for You:-)
