A Little Help From Friends

I was lying in bed last night thinking about the 23 Things. Yeah, I know better things to think about. But I realized how much my co-workers helped me. Hydee said don't quit when I was really disgusted and going to buy my own MP3. Kathy for helping me get organize and understand exactly what I was suppose to do and of course my closest co-worker who has helped me from day one of my employment. Thank you. Reading other blogs really helped too.

Thank You All Very Much !!!!!

23. That's It

1. I thought setting up my own blog was fun. I didn't get into it very much because I figured who would want to read it. But I can see where it would be really good if you had family elsewhere and you blogged daily or every other day to stay in touch with them. Better than the annual Christmas letter you get with a card.
I espeacially liked the avatar. I thought the meez was the easiest and most fun to do. I got to pick hairstyle, dress, shoes, background and dance. She is on my blog dancing her little heart out.

2. I am never too old to learn and need to keep on the learning path. But I have found working at the library that I am constantly learning from my coworkers wether it is how to use a recipe, where to get my nails done or a little tidbit about ex-cel. Everyday brings something new.

3. An unexpected outcome was clicking on a widget in Merlin about the I-Phone. I learned some pretty colorful language but as Maurice pointed out that since I'm a biker I should not have been that surprised. But I was.

4. I thought it was pretty straight forward once someone helped me get started.

5. We'll the I-Pod helped.

6. The experience was fun, frustrating and brain teasing but I had a blast. Not that I can talk the talk but I have expanded my vocabulary.

22. Downloadable

If I am not mistaken I have downloaded a book to my computer. I hope it goes away in a few because I really do not want to read it. I am starting the Potter series from scratch so I can't listen one while reading another. It wasn't so hard I am really going to enjoy doing it again for a book I really want to read.

21.Podcasts. net

This can get you in a lot of trouble. You had to click away to get things downloaded so you could view a podcast. I got scared in the middle of all the clicking and xed out of it. I have so many things open on my computer that I'm surprised it is still running.

20.You Tube

I'm trying to bring All That here. Oh well.

I can't find anything about You Tube that I dislike. But unless I have specific reason to sit down and look for something I am not going to just sit and surf.

20. You Tube

The first time I ever used You Tube was for the staff day video of Janine and Patty dancing a disco . It was pretty amazing that we could share it with anyone who wanted to view it. I also later learned that I could watch skateboarders on the Skateology You Tube.

17. Sandbox

I added a page.

15. Future of Libraries

I see in the future smaller library buildings with maybe even kiosks in the local malls to accommodate patrons. I see 24 hour libraries where you can get help 24 hours a day. We pretty much have that now. I see fewer books on the dock as more people download and listen in their cars, doing housework,walking or exercising.

14. Technorati is beyond me

I just can't figure out how you get anything on the technorati site. I think you tag and share with others but I can't seem to get a handle on it.

13.Delicious

This is never a good number.. I have not the slightest use for this. To do everything on the computer just is so time consuming. I feel like a robot sitting looking at the screen. I can play games but even that gets tiring.

12. Rollyo, Rollyo Where Art Thou

http://www.rollyo.com/

Yes, I have a Rollyo account. What to do with it I haven't the faintest idea. I am searching for Tongue McQueen and Rollyo just seem to understand.

Library Thing 11.

Yes, I went into library thing and listed all of my two books.

My own bloglines 8.

http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs

I have my own blogline but am not really interested in it.

What I learned from lifelong learners. 2.

You are never too old to learn but it takes longer to sink in and understand the technology of all these new fangled gadgets.

19. Award sites

I just tried out the Yelp site. I was a little at first but I finally got the hang of it. I found the bakeries in Bel Air and the bagel stores. It could be very helpful finding places to eat or speciality stores.

18. Zoho spreadsheet.

I just played with the speadsheet. It was easy to use and easy to format the cells. I can see where it is going to be a big thing.

Wiki Wiki

I just read a few articles about wikis. I think they are good for sharing ideas but I am a little hesitant about the info now knowing anyone can change it. I don't know if people would really go around and alter the info but I am of the old school and very sceptical about what I read now on the wikis.

Keep on Dancin

No direction

Oh What A Day

Imagine my surprise when on the Merlin website I clicked on the IPhone under Widgets. I learned some very colorful vocabulary that I shared with a few co-workers so they would know I was not making it up. Needless to say I learned about Widgets and a little about how they operate. It made my day.

Hope you are playing as I am. Have a good day.

Technology is great as long as you don't have a trigger finger.

As I was trying to copy music on my computer it was constantly spitting the cd back out at me. I thought I was doing everything correctly but lo ---I was too fast on the draw and not giving it time to think. Once I figured that out the rest of the copying went fine.

Sunday Sermon 7.

One can live without an IPhone. It really does not make one fulfilled only frustrated if your battery dies after 4 days.

Now a video camera is a must with little ones. You can always blackmail them in 20 or 30 years.

Flickr Fun 6.

Easier

Yes, it is getting easier to get into this thing.

Not much happening today. Getting ready for year end.

Oh well !!!

Tech Fair

I just wrote an entry and somehow lost the whole thing.

I enjoyed the tech fair and I want an Ipod.

Enough said.

Oh What A Week

I am now a grandmother for the second time and he is just beautiful. The 3 o'clock feeding was a little rough but we got through it. There is nothing like a baby.

I am still having trouble getting into my blog to type anything but I figure I just need more practice.

Second day worse than the first

Well, it has taken me 15 minutes to get into my blog to add to it. But not without a little help from a friend-well- 2 friends actually. So far nothing makes sense yet but I am hoping the more I do the easier it will become.

The weekend looks promising so I hope everyone enjoys it.

Wheww !!!

Not only do I not know how to find this blog but I couldn't remember the user name or the password. It's like forgetting yourself and at my age that is very scary.

Keep on clogging
