Week 4 Thing 8

I finished setting up my Blogline account and added 14 feeds (I added my own blog). Now when I have the time, I am going to add some of my co-workers blogs. This will be fun to play with when I am on vacation. It's like my own little mini-Fark website. What fun!

You want to read...

The best book I read THIS week is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Now, this is a book with everything! Demons, witches, vampires, werewolves, yeah, we got 'em. And, in spite of its length (485 pages) this is one zip-zoom-FAST read! Wow. WHEN is the second book coming out? I am on the edge of my seat already.

I'm a Ravenclaw!

Want to Get Sorted?
I'm a Ravenclaw!

We were looking for a sorting quiz for our Harry Potter night and we found this website. http://sorting-hat.com/sorthatq.htm I got sorted into Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaws are supposed to value intelligence, knowledge and wit. Wow! That's a tall order.

Week 3 Thing 7

I'm really having fun exploring the videos my niece sent me on a new Photo and Video Sharing service called Dropshots. http://www.dropshots.com The kids are so cute! It is definitely the next best thing to being there! Now that I've had a chance to play around with Flickr a little, I'll have to get really brave and try my hand at Dropshots!

Week 3 Thing 6

Here is the Trading Card I made on Flickr. I used Casey's picture from the Superbowl party (or it could have been one of the Playoff games). It was a lot of fun making the card. My son tells me it is not authentic though, because the card is clHere is the Trading Card I made on Flickr. I used Casey's picture from the Superbowl party (or it could have been one of the Playoff games). It was a lot of fun making the card. My son tells me it is not authentic though, because the card is clearly a Yu-Gi-Oh card NOT a Pokemon card, but I can live with that. early a Yu-Gi-Oh card NOT a Pokemon card, but I can live with that.

Week 3 Thing 5


I took the tour of Flickr and created an account. I had a lot of fun playing around with some of the features. I really liked the cool "Drops of Spring" picture.(http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevewall/524803118/)

I took a picture of Corky and put him through the Warhol tool. I uploaded it and made it public.

He looks a little sinister after being put through the Warholizer!

Week 2 Thing 4

I got my blog all registered. Guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be for the next step!

Week 1 Thing 2

The hardest of the 7 1/2 things for me is #1. I am not big on setting goals. I am more of a dive-in learner. The easiest is #2. I have always accepted resposibility for my own learning. It never occurred to me to do anything else!
