Thing 43: Online TV and Video

My daughter has been using online TV for a while now, PBS has a number of shows online, and we saw a few episodes of "Me or the Dog." It's nice to know the option is out there, but I really don't watch TV or very many movies, so it's not something I'll be using much. It's good to know though, for those who do have to miss an episode, so I can get their cooperation and assistance without them having to miss their shows. ;-) I will stick to my computer work and my Wii!

New Deadline

I'm a little disappointed in the new deadline. I was racing to get this all done before I leave town on May 18th, and now I don't have to race. That probably means in one month I'll be racing again because I will have put it off till the deadline loomed once again. I understand the rationale in moving the deadline, but still it's a frustrating thing to have deadlines that aren't! I am however, truly enjoying More Things on a Stick! I'm learning so much and really having a fun time doing it.

Thing 42: Music 2.0

I use Pandora all the time and have a couple of stations there. It's a little frustrating because they put on music that they think I'll like when what I really want is music that I know I'll like, but it's not too bad. Better than using a radio, especially out here in the boonies where we live! I love being able to listen to the rest of an NPR broadcast when I hear part of one when I'm up in town shopping. My kids use a lot more music options on the internet than I ever will, so it's good to come up to speed on some of the choices out there. We are a family who loves music!

Thing 41: Mashup Your Life

I signed up for LifeStream and that looks like a fun site. I am using "Feed My Inbox" but it's not very timely. We'll see if LifeStream is any more prompt! It does get to be a little time consuming to be checking all the different urls and sites that I like to check on - when I remember. Maybe this will make things more concise. I have to add friends though, which I am loathe to do!

Thing 40: Mashup the Web

For this Thing I looked at the mashups that I have explored a little bit before and watched a few videos about mashups. Something I need to explore a little more I guess, before I figure out exactly what I would use most of them for. BigHugeLabs is pretty fun. And I did do the Pipes, and made a Libraries Pipe with Flikr and Google. That was interesting. (It's over on the left.)

Thing 39: Digital Storytelling

Thing 38: Screencasting

I downloaded both Skitch and Jing. I haven't figured Skitch out yet, but Jing is a lot of fun and I used it on my other blog - for my Mother's Day post. This is what I did with Jing...

And down below is what I did with ScreenCast - once I figured it out, it was fun!







The end.
