My Fanciful Accounts

“The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe.” ~David Hare

While viewing blogs on current technology trends, I got sidelined to facebook.
If you become a fan of Walgreens on Facebook, you can receive a free walgreens 5x7 photo album:

You do need to pay shipping. With the holidays around the corner and the economy in a slump, thought some might find this of interest.

One of my favorite picture books is What a Wonderful World by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele. The only thing that makes it better is adding music as it is being read. Now I do love Ray Charles' rendition, but sometimes the tried and true needs a little spicing up. Iz's version even inspired me to some photographic creativity.

In the year 2000, I started working in the Youth Services Department of this wonderful building. The landscape has changed, the department has changed, the staff has changed, my duties have changed, but my love for this place has not.

The perfect tool for promotions, ads, reminders, people with short attention spans(Where's the chicken?), or limited time. Total instant gratification McBlog, yes?

A wiki’s versioning capability can show the evolution of thought processes as you interact with the site and its contents.
The possibilities for using wikis as the platform for collaborative projects are limited only by one’s imagination and time.

---
Because users can modify the content of a wiki (add to, edit, delete materials), allowing such manipulation of the site’s information carries some risks.
Over time, I think that the values, perspectives, and opinions of its users can become embedded in a wiki.Therefore, wiki may not be effective in obtaining unbiased perspectives on rapidly evolving topics/issues.

56% of male bloggers are employed full-time? They must blog at/for work. I have neither the time nor the energy for serious writing after putting in my daily hours. Or maybe I'm just not motivated. I do, however, love reading others' blogs and have spent tons of time browsing through technorati tonight. I found some stuff that I already knew like my all time favorite, The Big Picture, and tons of new stuff with the potential of becoming favorites.


The adventure can continue. Joliet Main holds available just made contact.

Currently reading book two in The Immortals series, Wolf-speaker, by Tamora Pierce.
