I have already played with Google docs at work. Stephanie and I use them a lot, and during the time before I came back to work – we had several that we put in the shared place where we could each do what we needed to without having to email huge files. I did however, [...]

Thing 19 – Youtube
August 29, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I have tried this twice – so hopefully third times the charm. I am embedding a video that Andrew and Grayson made this summer and posted to youtube. I love the fact that Andrew and Grayson used their imaginations to come up with the video – they thought about camera angles and then edited in [...]
Thing 17 – Podcasts
August 28, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I admit I was one of the ignorant – I thought podcast was because you could hear them on ipods. Learn something new everyday. I already had itunes, and had subscribed to several podcasts so this wasn’t so new to me.
Thing 16 – the Library Thing, Zeitgeist and Shelfari
August 28, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I really enjoyed part of this and part of it – I’m not sure what the purpose of it is…I think that I must be very “unsocial”. I love to read middle school books. Partly because when I start to read – I become an addict and cannot stop myself. This is very bad when [...]
Thing 15 – Delicious

I could have stayed playing with all of these for days, weeks, even months. I love the http://www.befunky.com/ I have an old photo of Addison on the beach looking at a shell that my mom has always wanted to make into an oil painting. I will try and find the picture – scan it in [...]
Thing 13 – Watching in my pj’s – not for me
August 28, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I tried several times to watch and listen. But I am a miserable failure at staying tuned in. I keep thinking about things that I need to be doing, the kids interrupt, and the dog comes to get me to let him out. It seems that I am the only one in the family that [...]

I started off looking at palm trees, and ended up with rainbows. What fun you could have with these photos. I might even upload a few of my own -one day when I have time….maybe next summer!!!
