my library site

This could be so convenient. I have a friend who is a confirmed bibliophile and has an extensive personal library. Betcha this site will come in handy! Meanwhile, here is my puny little start. Only 1,995 to go (no, really--I mean it).

Blackadder: They do say, Mrs M, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain. They are, of course, wrong, as you will soon discover when I stick this toasting fork into your head.

RSS feeds

Wow! Something incredibly useful!!

Who knew? Well, I guess that is the point, isn't it? To learn something new, that is. I expect the RSS feeds will be one of my favorite discoveries. Of course I haven't got to the Wiki part yet, but still, I like the news feeds a lot. This could make me even more of a news junkie.

Thanks

Thanks for looking at my brother's pictures!

Technology

One of the most convenient and interesting technologies available is the good old DVD. One can watch a DVD on either TV or on your computer. OK, it's not a big deal to most people, but it sure is convenient.

And some social networking sites have a bad rep, but my daughter finds it convenient for keeping in touch with her high school classmates.

There's that word again: convenient. Since I am not born to be a geek, I harbor the quaint notion that technology is supposed to be a convenience that makes other parts of our life easier. I do not normally see technology as an end in itself.

oops

I notice my blog does not show the picture. Just click on the big red square and you will be directed to Webshots to see the picture. Sorry, it's a peculiarity of Webshots.
