Trading cards and jigsaws

I created a trading card of my daughter and e-mailed it to her. I am eager to see what her response is. I suspect she will think I am silly for making it. I don't think she understands my playing around with the technology which we are currently working with.

Actually I fail to see the point of the trading cards. As far as I am concerned the pictures are better than the cards.

I also created a jigsaw puzzle. If if wasn't for the fact that it costs $30.00 to actually have them make a real one from the photo I input, I might think that this is a neat application. It also sounded like the puzzle would be on high quality paper instead of backed with cardboard, so it may not be of much use as a real puzzle. I do like real puzzles so this was intriguing.

Amazing hawk picture

This was a fun lesson. I especially like the map part where you can find pictures from around the world. However some of the animal pictures were amazing also. I really liked this one of a Red-shouldered Hawk catching a fish. What a great action picture. I found it at

RSS feeds

I have tried setting up one blogline account at work and and one at home. I am not sure sure how helpful it will be at work. I need to find some better places with feeds that really apply to my work before I find it useful. At home it may save me a little time since I have a lot of favorites which I regular look at. Some don't update very often so I have only been checking them from time to time. Now with blogline I should know right away if something new has been posted on them and thus will get the information when it is current.

Experimented with pictures

I am proud of myself. Yesterday I uploaded digital photographs from my camera and from a memory stick. Then I successfully cropped some and removed the red eye from them. I then sent them to Walgreens to be printed. My kids were not around to help me so it took me a long time but I finally got it done all by myself!

7 1/2 habits

The easiest habit for me is to teach or mentor others. At least that is easy if I understand what I am doing to begin with. I don't mind getting up in front of a group or I can do one on one mentoring. On the other hand it can be the hardest habit also if I am not comfortable with the material, which could be especially true with technology related topics. Then it is hard to figure out what is going on, especially if things go a little differently than I expected. I can get flustered if I am not sure how to proceed and someone is watching what I am doing (which would be the case if I am teaching). Figuring things out is surely easier if I am all by myself.
