Week 6- #14

Technorati

I went to the Technorati page and took a look around. To be honest, I don't really like reading other people's blogs unless I know them. I don't really care what people have to say (most of the time)...unless I'm doing research on something...Anyway, I can see how it would be useful for people to look up blogs by using this page. I can see the benefit, but frankly, I dont think I will be using it.

Peace

Week 5- #12

Rollyo

I explored Rollyo and I was not very impressed at first. I didn't see what could be so great about this site. As I continued to browse around, I realized what the purpose of searching here is. When you search for something on a typical browser, it gives you a gazillion hits on what might or might not give you what you are looking for. When you search on Rollyo, you can choose a specific subject on where you want your answers to come from. There was one Ask Mr. Fix It! that caught my attention. I think I will be using this one when I'm looking for a tip on repairs around the house.

I did register but am still wondering on which links might be helpful to others.

Week 5- #11

Web 2.0 Awards list sites

So for this exercise we were suppose to explore some websites from the Web 2.0 Awards List. I wasn't sure what to search for so I just started clicking around and see what would catch my attention. I went to Lists and Polls out of curiousity and the site that I liked the best was quimble.com. At this site you can post any question that you'd like and see what people have to say about it. Very simple. So if there's something that you have been wondering about, just register and ask away.

Week 5- #10

Image Generator


This is my creation from txt2pic.com. I went to License Plate Maker but there are a bunch of other things you can do there. There are some really neat things you can make such as Logos, Signs,Tarot Cards, etc. You should all check it out.
I enjoyed doing this exercise.

Week 4- #8 and #9

RSS Feeds, Bloglines, Library Blogs

Okay so I was little confused (and still am) on this exercise. I subscribed to the bloglines and some of the feeds I signed up for are Dictionary.com Word of the Day, NYT Book Review, Rolling Stone: Music News, Rotten Tomatoes: Movies, and VH1's Today In Music. I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

Week 3- #7

Anything Technology Related

I want an iPod!!! I currently have this phone , which actually plays music but in a wma format so I can't fit that many songs on the memory card. My sister got an iPod for Christmas and I am so jealous! We went shopping for an adapter which allows her to listen to her iPod music in her car (through the radio). That made me want it even more! Now I know what I will be using my tax refund for hehe



This is the one that I want. Blue, cause it's close to teal. Teal, cause of the SHARKS!

Week 3- #6

Flickr and Mashups

Hmm, I never realized there were all these sites out there that we can use to get creative with our pix. I definitely wanna play around with a few of them. The mosaic maker, the movie poster maker, and the photo collage site seem very cool. Now all I need is cool pix to play around with :-)

Week 3- #5

Flickr


Plaza de Zamora Michoacan

This is a picture I found on Flickr. It's the "Plaza de Zamora" in Michoacan, Mexico. I have family there who I miss very much and can't wait to visit (hopefully this Summer). There were many different pictures that I found on the site. I've always loved photography and seeing all these beautiful images make me want to go out and take random pics and see what I can come up with.

I used a different site to upload the picture...something I'm more familiar with.

Hello all!--Week 1, 2, 3 & 4

Well, here it is. My first blog here. I've actually posted a few blogs on different places. I'm a little ashamed to say that I am a myspace addict...but really, who isn't this days?

I finished listening to the Lifelong Learning Pointers and I suppose I learned a thing or two.

That's all for now.
