Decisions

As in most things my inability to make a decision about what to write here prevented me from writing ANYTHING. Silly really. I write pages in my head when driving mindlessly down familiar roads. At home with the laptop on my laptop......not so much.



Here's a list of things I've been deciding about:


  1. Should I just keep a log of tech things I'm doing for class?

  2. Should I take this opportunity to become the world famous writer I was clearly meant to be?

  3. Is it it just cranky to write about things that annoy you?

  4. Are lists a good way of skirting brain-freeze?

Anywho..I've been doing tons of tech stuff. Not particularly well but I'm giving myself time. "Overwhelmed" and "frustrated" have been banned from my vocabulary.


Marratech and I have a guarded relationship. He (she?) can be cooperative or completely elusive. But I will be master. Now that I've bookmarked the proper page it's just a matter of time.

And Animoto, my new BFF, where have you been all my life. I have grandchildren I want you to meet. See you on Facebook with all my other friends. I think I love you.

Blogging's fun. Of course you actually have to transpose those vehicular thoughts onto the page and that's annoying but I'll learn to live with it. Delicious..ah, Delicious. Our relationship is on a trial basis. Sharing bookmarks, hmmmmm. Though there is a sort of voyeuristic side to it that I find........well, delicious.

Other things I've played around with (but nothing serious):

  • GoogleDoc
  • Flip Videos
  • iPhoto
  • Audacity
  • Garageband
  • iMovie
  • iDVD

So that's my week. Lots of new acquaintances, a few new friends and one very special connection.

Bette, I'm learning to dance.
