Del.icio.us

No pretty pictures or gadgets to go along with this one so I added one of my own. I did find this site interesting easy to use and can see it could be of some value but don't know if I will use it on a regular basis. I decided on a collection of German Spitz sites hence this pretty picture from one of the spitz sites I saved to del.icio.us. I know I could have added any and all sites as a mobile favourites but at the moment I am looking, learning and moving on. When I have completed this learning project I will then be able to reevaluate what I have learnt and make the most of it. I did discover that if you put www. in front of the address you get a completely different site.

By the way the little lovely above is Australian Champion Banjospitz Southern Bea.

Technorati

Ahhhh she cries why would the button publish to my blog entry but not to the side part of my blog. Oh well guess I was half successful. I tried to cut and paste the smaller of the buttons first and that would not work so then I tried this one. Still no luck. Have you worked out yet that I am STUBBORN so this time I pasted it in my post and it worked!!!!!!!
This just shows that I had problems with my blog but I couldn't really see that this site would be of use to me personally. Maybe when I have more time and can have a better look at it I will be able to see it full potential.

Rollyo

Well that wasn't too bad. I think I must be getting the hang of this. My little Rollyo gadget works but I have just entered a few generic sights. Still I am starting to feel a little more confident with the things I am doing. I read the instructions and they started making sense. I did this one and the last one without the need of a handy little helper. OK I know I will never turn into a technohead but hey I am starting to feel empowered. I am beginning to feel like the little red caboose "I think I can, I think I can...."

my librarything

This is great. This was so easy and just so much fun. I am not sure if I am finally getting used to all of this or if this was just an easy AND FUN site to use. The hardest part of it all was chosing which book from my favourte authors to add to the list. I can see huge potential in LibraryThing. There were a couple of obscure books that have no cover image but I did find them using Library of Congress. Adding LibraryThing to my blog was easy as I knew what I was about this time around so I guess I am retaining what I am doing. A big bonus.

This is fun?

It is getting late. My happy little helper is yawning and making noises about his brain not working properly so I think it is time to retire. I know this was supposed to be a fun element but I have been searching the generators for 2 hours now trying to find one that is me and this is the best I could do.

Now that I look closely at the Tardis it reminds me of a mobile phone, a flying mobile phone. Oh well, like my handy little helper, my brain hurts.

Technology

Technology.

I do love new gadgets – once I have been shown how to use them of course. I thought I might do a bit of a waffle about Photoshop or some other related item but couldn’t get into the mood.
Today I heard about another use for technology. Games. Now I know you are going to say computer games have been around forever but this is a different game but it makes the use of well now it is not so new technology but still technology.
It is the mobile mobile game and this is how it all began and how it works.
A group of five men who do a lot of travel and work in the Yarra Valley realized that they were often ‘bumping’ into the Valley mobile library in their travels. So they devised a game. The one with the lowest points at Christmas time buys the slab of beer.
If they can get a photo using their mobile phones of themselves in front of the Valley mobile library it is worth 1 point. If they can get a photo of themselves inside the mobile library it is worth 4 points.
Boys with Toys will never be bored.

One two miss a few

I think I said earlier that I wasn't the best with instructions and I guess this just proves it. I did do some of the Flickr mash ups etc. but just didn't bother to post a blog about them. This card was really easy to make and I had fun doing it. It was easy to save to my photos or I could have as easily saved it to Flickr.
I might browse my photos and see what else I can find to turn into a trading card. Actually this is more like a get out of trouble card. Guess my kids playing Magic The Gathering has rubbed off on me.
