Wiki .... what a great wacky device!

It's something I've already seen, and
that's a big boost for me, since I've
been feeling lost in space for weeks
on the learn and play........

There is hope!

2.0?

Moving into 2.0 seems like learning a new language.
Where's my dictionary?

Some of the articles are intriguing and challenging
Others seem like warmed overs.

I particularly like the term Information Silo
It resonates with me and reminds me what is old is new again.

Delicious? no...del.icio.us

With a title like Delicious it should be delightful.

But, what is it?

A way to keep your favorite web pages organized.

Still pondering how the words I know become
technical terms that cause me confusion.

Gadzooks!

Twitter might be amusing

Library Thing

not much to say....

generators online and images

I thought generators were machine backups for stormy weather, now another application.....
trying out colors and words to make people notice.

Cooltext.com with colorful options gave me tools to make a logo/banner for another great idea....The Crop Walk.

Bloglines newsreader

OK, I am now officially a blogline member.

Who knew how many different topics could
be accessed in one place?

technology.......

What would Edison think of computers and bloggers,
copy and pasters?

What would Bell think of cell phones, ipods, blackberries?

What will the future hold for new inventions and inventors?

Flickering and Mashing up


Hmmm, Found an old picture on my computer and made it into a card using Trading Card Maker.


I tried to make this ad --> into a card but it wouldn't format for me.

Trollskogen

This picture presages the coming of winter, cold, dark, lifeless.
The sun shining through the meadow cannot overcome the chill.
