merlin and newsfeeds

Okay. I have signed up for Merlin. I may check the site periodically to see what's new but it is not a place I will visit often. I did, however, find a link I liked a lot. I added it to my favorites and feeds. It is Mashable-the social networking blog. If you have not checked it out yet, you really should.

I played around with the search tools for a while. I must say emphatically that I did not like Syndic8 at all. I like the local interest aspect of Topix but my favorite is Technorati. There is so much to find on this site and it is easy to navigate. I would reference this site often.

And now...on to the next thing!

Week 4 and bloglines?

Bloglines. Feeds. It's making me crazy. Just joking.

I can see why one would want a place to group all of their feeds together. I set mine up under bloglines as required but already had some set up on my personal pc under a different system. I did make my feeds public. http://www.bloglines.com/public/aga42

Just for fun, I set a blogsite here but probably will not blog here often.http://www.bloglines.com/blog/aga42

Ciao!

Flickr pic and Fun with Mashups

After looking at mashups and fun sites, I realized just how much fun I am going to have with my new digital camera. I cannot wait. I looked at FD Toys' and there is so much one can do. What am I going to play with first? The Warholizer! Ashley and I were talking about doing this to a photo some time ago and now we have the tool to do it. Hey, now we need to take the photo. OMG I am so unphotogenic!

Week 3 and Technology

On the whole, I believe technology is our friend. It is an aid in a busy world. It is fun to play with. However, it is not infalliable. We should be careful of becoming too dependent on technology. We must continue to rely on ourselves and our own brain power to find answers and do things.

So saying, this is going to be my new toy soon. I will have an iPhone! I am debating whether I should wait for the next generation. I am sure there will be bugs to work out and the next will have improved upon the original. I am impatient!

In appreciation

Yea! No matter my mood one of Gary's CDs will fit it (or change it for the better). I like all kinds of music and some I would not admit to liking - lol - but if I had to select one artist it would be without hesitation Gary Allan. So for week three and Flickr play, I decided to post this picture and just like his music, this lifted my mood.

Week 2 and learning

As you can tell if you've read my previous posts, I have not paid much attention (yet!) to the assignments. So to backtrack here are my thoughts on me and learning. Everyday I learn something new and that is as I would have it. However, when I set out on a learning journey, such as this course of activities, I encounter one major difficulty. No, it is not a lack of desire or ambition. It is that I have always been a procrastinator when it comes to schooling and assignments. I have struggled to overcome this habit. Sometimes I have been successful and sometimes not. Thus far in 23 things I have fallen back into the bad learning pattern. Let's see if I do better!

Video Clip

Check out the clip I put in my profile. Many of you may have seen this one but I like it. So here it is - OK GO -Here It Goes Again. If you come across any different video clips that you think are worth checking out let me know.

Just the beginning

We've only just begun. How excited are we? Ashley, what's up with finishing already? Are you trying to make the rest of us look bad? Is anyone out there running through this program like tomorrow will never come? I don't know about you guys but finding the time to work on this is next to impossible!
