Lillie and Jojo

This is Lillie with her best doggy friend Jojo. Jojo is my next door neighbor's youngest Cocker Spaniel and Lillie's "live" chew toy. They play almost every day and sometimes get to play more than that.

Sir Paul McCartney

I am so excited! I got tickets to see Sir Paul McCartney! In my baby book my mother wrote down that the song "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles was the #1 song that week. She always thought she would have to explain to me who they were. Boy was she wrong. I found out about them in late grade school or early junior high. I became a huge fan. So now I get to see one of them in concert! This is a dream come true and I figure a once in a life time chance.

Coco's Request Screen Cast for 23 Things Kansas using Jing

I made a screen cast with my coworker Sandy Nuss who is also taking part in 23 Things Kansas. We chose to use Jing. After watching the demos we decided to give it a try. It wasn't really hard once we got the hang of it. For our project we decided to show how to make a suggestion to purchase an item for the library. Sandy played the library employee and I played the part of Coco the library patron. After some trial and error this is what we came up with. I hope you enjoy it!Coco's_Request__Starring_Sandy_and_Darla

23 Things Kansas Webinar

I just participated in the webinar and can hardly believe that 23 Things Kansas is coming to an end. We were given so many things to learn about it makes my head spin. I am one of these people who love to learn new things but easily gets intimidated. Everything was done is such a way that it wasn't hard to do.

I was always confused my cloud computing and really didn't know what it was but thanks to 23 Things Kansas I understand it! Blogging was not my thing but I'm starting to like it. Facebook and Twitter were things I was already doing. My computer crashed a few months ago and learning more about Flickr and Picasa prompted me to put my pictures on those sites. I was using Flickr and have since switched to mostly using Picasa. I find it more user friendly. Shelfari and Delicious were fun to learn about. I'm not sure how much I will personally use them but I now know what others are talking about. I haven't done the screen casting yet. I find that assignment really is scarry but tomorrow I'm going to bite the bullet and do it! Check back to see what I've done with it. I dabbled with Ning but they have now changed and are starting to charge you to use it.

The thing I enjoyed the best was slide sharing. I used Animoto and fell in love with it. I've made slide shows of my coworkers, my dog, of get togethers with friends, and flowers. I have posted a lot of them to my blog but have also sent them to friends. Since I'm having so much fun with it I now am thinking about paying for the "pro" package for it. I want to find more sites like it and try them out.

I hope everybody had as much fun with 23 Things Kansas as I did!

Lillie

I have had so much fun with Lillie. Today we went next door so she could play with the neighbor's dogs. I have got to get a video camera and tape them all playing. It really is entertaining. I am so happy to have learned about Animoto from 23 Things Kansas. I have made lots of "videos" from my pictures. Here is one of Lillie. When I first saw her I fell in love with her ears. We say they look a little like the flying nun.

Where has the time gone-23 Things Kansas

Wow, has this gone by fast! I don't know about the rest of you but I've had so much fun taking part in 23 Things Kansas. You have opened my eyes to things I didn't know about and showed me how to do things. I will have to say my favorite parts were slide sharing with Animoto and learning how to use Flickr. I will have to say that I am moving away from Flickr and going to Picasa. I think it is more user friendly. There is only one project that I haven't been able to do yet and that is #12's Screen casting. I plan on doing that as a group project and hope to get it done and posted in a day or two. Without taking part in this I would never have discovered these services or tried them. Thank you so much!!!

Wiki

I have to admit that editing a Wiki was a little scary but I took the bull by the horns and tried it. I went to the Wiki site for Def Leppard to see what I could add. I am a big Def Leppard fan. I will admit to owning all their recordings and then some. I have seen them almost 10 times over the years starting when they were the opening act for Billy Squire. I read through what was written for them and added to the listing for the cd Yeah!. Even though this was a cd of covers they did I really like it. I found out it wasn't that scary after all. Thanks for the boost in confidence!
