I'm Finished!

I did it!

Kym was right, the last two exercises were really easy. I enjoyed exploring MySpace and LinkedIn. I know Theresa and my husband both have profiles on LinkedIn. I've been contacted by several people who want to be my friend on Shelfari, and that's the site I use several times each week. So now I feel a little more comfortable accepting invitations from people.

This was a great experience. Although I worked on it in fits and starts, every exercise taught me something I need to know about.

In Love With a Vampire

I got lucky and found a Wiki on the Twilight Saga, and really enjoyed reading what all the devoted fans have pulled together. I think I'll be bookmarking that one...

Exercise 6

Dear Reader, it's been a while since I've posted. I realized I never posted after finishing Exercise 6 on downloading audio. For the podcast exercise, I listened to Roy Blount Jr. talking about his book Alphabet Soup on NPR's Book Talk with Alan Farley. I didn't know anything about Mr. Blount or the book, but I found it fascinating as it's all about the origins and uses of letters! With a first-grader learning to read at the speed of light, this is probably the perfect book for my academic side!

I also successfully downloaded Double Take by Catherine Coulter. I'm looking forward to more iPod-compatible books coming soon, because I'd love to make more use of this service.
