Thoughts on RULA

Hopefully today is my "Easter" as I struggled (even with Sonny's help) to complete the assignments. MY fault I should have made sure I kept up weekly .I will certainly make sure that I do so next time??? If there is . I found the whole experience interesting , there was the spirit of sharing expertise as well as lack of... Fortunately it was not competetive as we might not have been so "Team Player" oriented helping one and all. Would I do something similar again? Honestly don't know.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Thanks to the Team and my Team Leader for the time and effort put into this exercise.

Social Book Marking

Here is my delicious URL. For me this was a little more complicated, but the end results will save time and I can share with the other staff members.

Library Things

Here are a few titles in my library. Such an easy way to keep track of what I read and hope to read.

Play Week

Play week was interesting . So many 'Toys' !!!!!! Maybe I should invest in wii fit that might make my Dr. Happy.>>>>>>> It was good not only to know what is out there but to have a demonstration of what they can do and be able to use them. My Fav. E book Reader.

Podcasts

I downloaded Itunes. I subscribed to a CBC World News at 6pm podcast. I can listen to whatever I subscribe to at my own convenience and anywhere I am.

Browser Tools

I downloaded Cooliris, I found the images easier to manipulate and allows you to view multiple images at the same time. COOL!!!

Google Docs

I collaborated Michelle's game and sent it on to other friends. It was a fun thing . Google Docs is available easily on line so it saves time and is useful.

Flickr

Here is a link to my dream kitchen.

I like Flickr because it is easy to search for anything and find pictures too even if only to dream of far-away places.

Wikis

I posted a recipe and made a comment about a recipie Lies posted. In the Library we can share information and everyone can have their 'say' while doing a project without having formal meetings.

Social networks-Facebook

Facebook opened communication with all my younger cousins nieces and Nephews. Don't know if I will be able to keep up with them. Everyone wants to be 'My Friend" and write on my wall. Fun though.

The RSS Feeds allow me to access websites that interest me all from one place. I find though that I spend more time checking the sites in"Bold" to see what is new. I can keep up with new publications and the activities of Staff and In Departments at work .In my personal life I find new recipies , humor on those days that not going well etc. I think though the "Pros." outweigh the "Cons."

RSS FEEDS-

Today's Ramblings

Why do we have to put up with our 'Transit Community" using handbags, bagpacks, notebook cases ets. as 'weapons' as they push and shove to enter or exit buses and trains?? .
My favourite T.V. Ad. Kellogs "SAN..........TA". Lesson to learn when you are my size never buy anything in red fleece. ' Till tomorrow Maybe. ............

The Open Sea Awaits Me!!!!!!!!!!!

After trial and error I have launched my BLOG. Fifteen minutes is not enough for me , I probably need five minutes more for every 10 years of my life. So bear with me . I will leave today with a Quote " Happiness is a voyage not a destination"
