Thing 29 - Google Tools

I love Google Tools... They are a lot of fun. I added the weather widget to my computer but this time I made sure all the junk didn't come along when I added it - have to be careful what you click on! I'm an avid user of Google Calendar and Gmail. I also use Picasa, Google Earth, Google maps, and I'm trying out Google Videos. I'm excited to try out Google Notebooks, and Google Docs and Reader. Google is fun!

Thing 28 - Customized Home Pages

I have an igoogle and a MyYahoo page already, but I worked on them a bit this evening getting them tweaked a little. I added a few widgets and removed a couple. I also kind of played with Netvibes and found that I can't add both my yahoo and google mail accounts to that - which is what I'd like to do. I use them for different purposes, and rarely check them, so it would be nice to have them both on one page. I'll keep looking around, and playing with my "homepages".

Thing 27 - Twitter

I did sign up for Twitter last spring. I don't know what happened, but it was driving me crazy, so I deleted my account! I went back today to see if I can reactivate it - and they tell me it'll take about 30 days, and they will let me know when it's up again. In the meantime, I will learn more about it and see if I can Tame the Twitter and find it useful instead of frustrating.

Thing 26 - Join the 23 Things On a Stick Ning

I joined this Ning last spring when I did the original 23 Things on a Stick. I have looked at it again now, it's a lot more active than when I joined! I've been browsing around at some of the discussions and am intrigued by "What Should I Read Next?" and have signed up there, to see what recommendations they might have. Too many books, too many choices, not enough time! If somthing could help me narrow the choices a little....

Thing 25 - Blogger's Toolkit

Well, I added the snow effect to my blog and I must say - disappointing!! I kind of wanted a blizzard.


March 25th. I removed the snow. I think we've had enough this winter.
