Week 5 - Thing 10 Online Image Generator


Well, this was a cool thing to do. This is a picture of
some very important people in my life. The sketch of
the girl on the left didn't turn out very well, but the other two look great! This was fun. I plan on exploring more of the image generator.

Week 4 - Thing 8 RSS Feeds & Bloglines

Talk about being frustrated!!!! I have pulled out most of my hair....

Well, I have explored RSS feeds, and set up a Blogline account. I stayed up late last night trying to understand it all. Did a LOT of reading. The sad thing is, I'm not as "techie" as I thought. :o (

Here are some of my feeds:

Week 3 Thing 6 - Mashups & Meez

Wavejumper is in demand!
You can't really read it, but it says, Wavejumper - coming to a beach near you.











I finally was able to get my animated Meez posted!!

Week 3 Things 6 & 7 Mashups & Technology


Here is a magazine cover I designed.
As for technology that I am interested in, I guess I would have to say my new Ipod. I got one for a birthday present from my husband and I love it! I have an Itunes account, and I download music that I purchased with my Itunes gift card. Now when I sit at the beach, no more cd's, or cd player, no more worrying about ruined cd's from the sand.
I have my nifty little Ipod nano! Someone recently asked me if I was too old to have an Ipod!!!! Are we ever to old for new technology?

Week two Thing 4


Okay, my blog has been registered. I hope I am on the right track! I downloaded the tracking log into my documents and started tracking my progress.

Week one - Thing two

I finished the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Sucessful Lifelong Learners. I think the hardest thing for me is having confidence in myself when it comes to learning new things. I get impatient and think I'm not able to accomplish anything. This has got to change! The easiest thing is playing. No pressure! I will finish 23 Things!!!

Week 1 - Thing 1

Well, I think I have been doing this wrong, so here goes another try.
I did everything I am supposed to do; it said "read this blog & find out about the program... I did...
I get the feeling I am in the middle of the Dr. Seuss story "The Cat in the Hat."
Thing one and thing two......

Week 2 thing 3

I was thinking how nice it would be if I was sitting at the beach creating my blog.
I could be sitting by the ocean, listening to the crashing waves, and feeling the ocean breeze. Instead, I'm sitting in my living room, with my cat purring in my ear, and that is almost as nice.
