Flickr

I messed around with Flickr. It's quite an amazing site. I may actually post some of my photos there. The idea that the whole world (literally, THE WHOLE WORLD!) could look at my photographs is a little mind-blowing. We live in amazing times.

Streaming music

Just looked at the streaming music module. Everything seems very geared towards 20-somethings and new music, which is great if that's your bag. I like the old stuff, so I don't see much there for me. Interesting, tho.

RSS feeds

I read about RSS feeds and even linked to a couple of things that interest me. On to the next chapter!

First instant message

I goofed and sent a blank post to my blog. Oh well. I'll try again. I just sent and received my first instant message. Since the person I was messaging we just a few feet away I didn't really get the full effect, but I can see it would be fun to be able to do that with someone who is far away.

IM not

I read the info on instant messaging but have not actually done it. I guess there is no one I want to talk to that bad. But seriously, I'm sure I will eventually try it since it is apparantly now part of our world, for better or for worse. Can you tell I'm still emeshed in the 20th century?

I'm back...

After several days of not "blogging" (this is a word?) I am back on the air. I spent some time with one of my smart co-workers yesterday who helped me get straightened out, organized, and back on track. Actually, I think all this stuff is fascinating, just a lot to take in. In my non-SIL life I just bought a new laptop computer - my first laptop - and it has Vista, so I am also learning how to use that. I also got an iPod Shuffle and am learning how to use it and iTunes. What a wonderful device!! Thanks to everyone who posted comments to my rather lame site. It will improve now that I understand a little more of what I'm doing. I may even try to post some photos of Edmonds if I can figure out how to do it. One of the best places to see Edmonds is from the roof garden of the library. I am enjoying reading some of the other blogs, many of which are wonderfully creative and entertaining.
