Week 6- Social Networking and me

Social networking. I don't know whether to love it or hate it. I love what it CAN do - the creative uses it can be put to. And I hate much of what IS done with it. A virtual meeting on Second Life? I'm your gal. Talking trash on MySpace? I'm outta here. I see kids on MySpace talking to each other with language and content that make shock jock Don Imus sound like a Sunday School teacher. They don't seem to respect themselves or each other and MySpace seems to contribute to it by not placing any controls on what is posted. I don't want Big Brother, but I also don't want what I see there.

Tom is a Libra by the way.

Billiards? bor-ring! No score. The computer was whipping me and I got very bored. Now a rousing game of GO online is another story. Sometimes your opponents will even give you hints . I am really more into puzzle games.

A Little Push

Today I received a little push to do something I have thought about and talked about - posting something on YouTube. Wait, let me back up. I haven't actually posted yet, but I am going to link to some postings there. They show basic wire work - forming a head pin into a loop. Since we looked at lots of fun "generators" this week on Play to Learn, I generated a chalk board to act as a headline. Check it out and see!

Week 4: Not So Green

Well, I just finished signing up for a Bloglines RSS feed. I wanted a feed on solar energy, preferably a news feed, or better yet, a "how-to-do-it-yourself" page, but what I ended up with was a someone's blog on solar energy. Very interesting, but not necessarily accurate. I will keep searching for the real deal.

Signing up was easy. In the future I will add all the good photovoltaics sites I find. I am glad this was a part of Play to Learn!
