Confession of the Absurd

If I were being completely honest I would have to revise my profile. I do have a PC (laptop); I do have a camera; I even have an ipod shuffle. It's all your fault, 23 Things. I was okay until I got to Flickr. Then I had to have a camera. And, as I got deeper into the 23 and signed up for NewsFeeds and GoodReads and such it began to weigh on me: the certainty that one day, perhaps soon, They will announce no more playing at work. So I had to have a computer of my own (although, since I live so close to Landa, for the time being at least , until I get the damn thing paid for, I'm depending on WiFi for my connection. So here's the Old Woman With Laptop

Goodreads

Now I've started a Goodreads account! I must say, none of this does me much good unless I get a computer or start spending my time off competing for time on the public PCs. I'm sure the powers won't continue to tolerate this playing at work much longer. But hey, having done a little, it'll be more possible to help patrons do this stuff if they want to. (Who's tested it on the public computers?)
I may be having fun.

Image Generators

I'm not too thrilled by image genearators that allow you to use a canned image to send a mesage; I looked until I found one that would let me add a text-over to my own image. I chose Tagsmaker http://tagsmaker.com/ to generate this image.

Reader Feeder

So, wow. New reader feeds could be cool. I've set up a page with far more subscriptions than I could possibly keep up with. The big bonus is it doesn't create a bunch of paper that has to be stored or disposed of. (English teacher: Never end a sentence with a preposition! Blogger: Okay: it doesn't create a bunch of paper that has to be disposed of, Bitch!)
And it's nice to be able to jump from the Reader page to my blog.

A:. produced something to add to My damn blog via Flickr
B. reminded me there are better ways to spend time than blogging
(P.S. In what might be the ultimate capitualtion, I actually upgraded my Flickr account to "Pro". which, oddly, doesn't meant I've become proficient enough to get paid; it means I've been sucked in enough to pay! My how the language slips and slides away!

This is a test

Quiz:
Which is the real taxi?

The Driver Revealed

The driver has purchased a digital camera and so is ready and able to reveal her identity.

How much farther the driver will go to complete the 23 Things assignments depends upon compensation.

The driver accepts cash only; small bills; unmarked envelope; point of delivery negotiable.

Okay, cash or chocolate.
