THING #40

FOR PEOPLE MY AGE, RETROLAND BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE TV SHOWS OF THE 50'S AND 60'S. "FATHER KNOWS BEST" WAS ONE OF THE TV PROGRAMS I WATCHED ALL THE TIME.

THING #39

ANIMOTO IS A GREAT SITE. ENJOYED MAKING SEVERAL VIDEOS. ALL YOU DO IS UPLOAD THE PICTURES AND THE VIDEO IS CREATED FOR YOU.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO VIDEO CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS AND THEN ADD THEM TO THE LIBRARY WEBSITE.

THING #38

SO HERE'S MY CREATION. IT'S A BLONDE JOKE, BUT IT'S OK - I'M ONLY MAKING FUN OF MYSELF.
IT'S NEAT HOW YOU CAN CREATE AND PUBLISH IN TOONDOO.
A CONTEST WOULD BE FUN FOR TEENS TO SEE WHO COULD MAKE THE FUNNIEST COMIC STRIP (AFTER, OF COURSE, MAKING A PODCAST TO INSTRUCT AND INTRODUCE THEM TO THE WEBSITE.)

THING #37

I REGISTERED WITH PANDORA. I SELECTED A SONG AND THEN ALL SONGS PLAYED ARE RELATED TO THE ONE CHOSEN. YOU MAY ALSO SELECT A SPECIFIC ARTIST OR GENRE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME CHOOSING SONGS. IF I GET MY MP3 PLAYER, I WILL DOWNLOAD FROM THIS SITE. SIMPLE AND FAST! THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT.

MY PLAYLIST TO THE RIGHT IS FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT I HAD TO CHOOSE EACH SONG, SO IT WAS MORE TIME CONSUMING BUT I GOT ONLY THE SONGS THAT I WANTED. I GUESS BOTH SITES HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES.

THING #36

I LOGGED INTO PICNIK AND DID MY THING. HERE IS THE BEFORE AND AFTER OF MY PICTURE. I ALWAYS NEED HELP WITH IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF MY PHOTOS. THIS SITE WILL BE A GREAT HELP IN MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A LOT BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER THAN I REALLY AM.

THING #35

READ ABOUT THE MINIBLOGS AND CHECKED OUT THE DIFFERENT SITES. SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF INSTANT MESSAGING THAT CAN BE DONE ON YOUR BLOG. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT CAN BE DONE, BUT I'M NOT INTO THE CHATTING THING.

THING #34

I CHECKED OUT BOTH FITDAY AND NUTRIDIARY. THEY ARE BOTH EQUALLY GOOD, BUT I DON'T THINK I COULD COMMIT TO POSTING MY MEALS AND ACTIVITIES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT'S VERY TIME CONSUMING TRYING TO REMEMBER EVERY LITTLE THING THAT YOU ATE AND THEN FINDING IT OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT ON THE LIST.
THERE ARE SOME GOOD POINTS, THOUGH - LIKE FINDING OUT HOW MANY CALORIES ARE BURNED BY DOING CERTAIN ACTIVITIES AND FINDING OUT WHAT VITAMINS AND MINERALS YOU ARE LACKING FROM YOUR DIET.
I'M SURE THIS SITE MIGHT HELP MANY PEOPLE LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FOR ME.

THING #33

I GUESS WE HAVE TO STOP AND TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF OUR BUSY SCHEDULES TO PLAY AND BE CREATIVE ONCE IN AWHILE. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ON THESE ACTIVITIES.
I TRIED ALL 4, BUT I LIKE MR. PICASSO HEAD THE BEST.

CHECK MINE OUT.

THING #32

OMNIDRIVE, ANOTHER EXCELLENT TOOL WHERE YOU CAN STORE ALL YOUR FILES AND SHARE THEM WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT.
2 THINGS THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT'S A GOOD BACK-UP TOOL. SAY IF YOU LOSE ALL YOUR FILES BECAUSE OF A VIRUS (I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED TO ME), YOU CAN CONNECT TO OMNIDRIVE AND RETRIEVE ANY THAT YOU HAVE UPLOADED.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT A FILE FROM WORK CAN BE UPLOADED AND YOU CAN ACCESS IT FROM HOME TO WORK ON IT INSTEAD OF SAVING IT ON A DISK.

I UPLOADED A WORD DOC FILE AND EDITED IT THROUGH ZOHO. AND ALSO A COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT I EDITED THROUGH SNIPSHOT.

THING #31

IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS HERE.
SO THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST IS PLAXO WHICH I THINK IS SUPER.
I ADDED EVENTS TO A WORK CALENDAR AND A HOME CALENDAR, MADE A COUNTDOWN TO A FEW BIRTHDAYS AND TO OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AND CREATED A TASK LIST.
AS FOR THE ADDRESS BOOK, I UPLOADED ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY OUTLOOK EXPRESS ACCOUNT. I PLAN TO MAKE THIS MY MAIN TELEPHONE / E-MAIL DIRECTORY. I THEN CAN ACCESS IT FROM ANY COMPUTER.

AT WORK, A TASK LIST CAN BE CREATED FOR MONTHLY JOBS AND CAN BE CHECKED OFF AS COMPLETED. A STAFF CALENDAR CAN ALSO BE MADE WITH PROGRAMS, APPOINTMENTS, MEETINGS AND BIRTHDAYS POSTED.

TAKE IT AWAY, BROOKE!

THING #30

CHECKED OUT ALL THE LOL CAT SITES AND
HERE'S MY CAT PICTURE. SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS?
JUST A FUN THING, I GUESS.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME YOU WILL SEE A CAT & MOUSE SO COMFORTABLE TOGETHER.

THING #29

WHAT A CHORE! I GOT MY PICTURES ON SCRAPBLOG - NO PROBLEM. BUT I COULDN'T GET ALL THE EXTRAS (FRAMES, BACKGROUNDS, STICKERS, ETC.), SO I ASKED EVILIBRARIAN AGAIN FOR HER ASSISTANCE AND, OF COURSE, SHE FIGURED IT OUT. YOU MUST HIT THE "F11" KEY TO TOGGLE TO THE SCREEN THAT HAS THE "DONE" OPTION AT THE BOTTOM SO THEN YOU COULD COMPLETE YOUR CREATION.
I ATTENDED THE STEELERS GAME LAST WEEKEND AND I TOOK MY CAMERA. SO HERE'S SOME OF THE PICTURES FROM HEINZ FIELD.
I'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO TACKLE THIS AGAIN.
I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING. NOW I CAN ALSO SCRAPBLOG AND JUST E-MAIL MY PICTURES TO EVERYONE.

I FINALLY SUCCEEDED WITH MY MAGAZINE COVER. AFTER REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE PICTURE, IT WORKED. THIS COULD BE A LOT OF FUN.
WE COULD POST CONTEST WINNERS AT THE LIBRARY.
THE KIDS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEIR PICTURE HANGING UP.

THING #27

PHOTOBUCKET WAS KINDA FUN. IT HAS MORE OPTIONS THAN FLICKR. I UPLOADED SEVERAL PICTURES AND MADE A SLIDESHOW, BUT "OLDDOGGIENEWTRICKS" WAS NOT IMPRESSED SO I TOOK IT OFF MY BLOG AND THEN CREATED THIS MEEZ. I MUST LISTEN TO HER BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S STILL MY BOSS (FOR NOW, ANYWAY).
BUT THE "CHILDREN'S BOOK SLIDESHOW" IS IN MY ALBUM TO ACCESS LATER.
