Social Networking

I did peek into all three suggested networking sites. It was easy. My Space and Facebook were an eye opener; but then I did not know what to expect. I did not feel comfortable at this time joining any of the three although linkedin seemed to be the most professional. All in all, it was an interesting exercise but definitely not my cup of tea.

podcasts

It was easy to listen to the audio pod; I chose to subscribe to Remarkable Palate in the food section under hobbies. There is a plethora of recipes on almost anything you want to cook. I listened to the Italian cucina since I am 50% Italian and love Italian food. The only downside is that there is so much material to wade through. I tried to limited to that one episode but couldn't seem to get the rss feed to work for that topic only.

Eeeeeesy!

Had small bits of time so I decided to skip to 1/12 assignment on lists. Lists were easy to make. On Ta Da I made a list of New Year's resolutions; in Remember the Milk, I made a list of monthly shelf reading - reminders to be e-mailed; and in thingamalist, I made a list of weekly shopping items to be e-mailed. But as far as making life easier,it is easier and faster for me to write a list on a piece of paper. I personally will not be using this type of technology any time soon. But I can see the usefulness for techies to put lists on their cell phones or people who forget where they put the paper lists.

A Brand New Year

Happy New Year to all! Ended the year with a list of resolutions and phone calls to people I have been meaning to keep in contact(one of my resolutions). Started the year on the right foot, going to mass and singing in the choir and visiting with a dear friend over lunch. We always like to meet at least once a month to catch up with one another but the brutal weather has kept both of us at home. One very sad note, however, my beta Indigo passed on to fish heaven on New Year's Eve after a happy 2 years 8 months with me. His buddy Lemony and I dearly miss him.
