Thing 4
OK, I admit I'm on Facebook, but not very active. All I can think of is those nasty things people used to write on the inside of the bathroom stalls in middle school, and that they are no longer limited to a bathroom door. What kind of cautions should we be practicing? Once it's out there it's forever! A bit scary to me.

Some pictures
I uploaded a few pictures of my recent crafts into Flikr. Maybe that will add some variety to the project--since I no longer work in a library. I did have a little struggle with organizing them, but am still working on it --it's only the beginning for me.
With the nice weather come lots more activities--gardening, golfing...so less time for computer work. And my network connection is still giving me fits. I can connect to my wireless network just fine, but I keep getting bumped off. I've gotten a new router, no help. Guess I'll have to get used to it, but it definitely cramps my style.

Week three already!?
I realize that it's going to take a lot longer than one week to get up to speed with RSS, but I did set up an iGoogle page and had fun adding things to it until it is really busy. It is fun and I like having everything together in one placed--weather, time, date, blogs, rss...
Onward and upward to the picture class.

Got it
Progress is slow, but it is progress. I got my blog on my iGoogle page. First in the wrong place, then where I wanted it.

Computers!
I'm having an issue with my wireless connection/network. I use a wireless connection on my home network. Lately I can't seem to keep it logged in. I'll connect just fine then in a few minutes or an hour or so, I get a error about no connection. This is extremely frustrating!!! I even bought a new router thinking that would help--it didn't. I'm ready to throw the computer out the window.
Lesson 2:RSS
I'm finidng this challenging. I am playing with iGoogle and having fun, but haven't yet assimilated the results. And I haven't figured out how to access my blog from iGoogle. Am I missing something?

Home again, home again
After a great trip we're home. Still waiting for spring...
After lugging a ton of books back and forth from vacation, I have a question for everyone (or maybe better, anyone reading this blog): Does anyone have a NookColor? I'm looking at an e-reader and so far my pick is the NookColor, but I'm not sure if I'll really like it. Will I miss the tactile sensation of ink on paper? Will I be able to read it OK? Can I borrow books from libraries? What formats are available?
Any thoughts are welcome.

Last day
Today we played golf even though it was in the 40's. Then a winery tour and wine tasting. Tonight music.
Tomorrow home.
