Tugboat on the Ohio River

I painted this picture for my Dad around 45 years ago for his office at West View Water on Neville Island.

Sheepherding Clancy

I have a Boyds bear and two counting sheep #100 and #1/2 on my bed. My cat Clancy seems to think the bear belongs to him and herds the sheep to the hallway, bathroom, living room or where ever he chooses and then comes over to me - for praise? Turn your sound volume up.

23 Things n'@-- Reflections Week 12, Final Week


I really enjoyed this course and found myself looking forward to the to the weekly “thing” assignments. I feel great that I made the time to complete all 23 things. I was familiar with some of the “things” but I also learned other technologies that I might not use, but I can help patrons or co-workers use them. I was especially amazed at how much I love facebook and how addicting it has become.

Since I am an IT person I have to leave you with one more look at this video from the 23 things blog--drum roll please!

Podcasting

I subscribed to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Podcast "Pittsburgh Hear and Now Tech Talk" using feeds in Internet Explorer.

I also downloaded a couple Podcasts from Angie's list: "How to Switch to Organic Lawn Care" and "Medical 'Gag Orders' for Patients".

This was a very interesting "thing" and I know that I will be subscribing to even more podcasts.

23 Things n'@-- Reflections Week 10

FIREFOX

Since I have used tabbed browsing in IE 7 and IE 8 Firefox tabbed browsing really isn’t any different to me. I tried “fashion your Firefox” and colorful tabs but found out that they are not compatible with all versions of Firefox. I did try the Christmas Scene and Red Cats (blue flavor) add-ons. The Christmas scene was cool but way too busy. I absolutely loved the Red Cats add-on—no surprise there ;-)

I don’t like a lot of add-ons in Firefox or IE because they tend to slow things down and most of them really aren’t that important to me. All in all Firefox is ok but I am still an IE Woman.
