Cubes

Ok, I am thinking Christmas ornaments. I used Big Huge Labs to make picture cubes. I sent the link to everyone I know so they can make cubes too. I saw that they offer several other things like cards and calendars. One thing I do enjoy is playing with pictures. Check it out, there is so much more to see. Does anyone know a place where we can make jigsaw puzzles out of our pictures, That would be excellent

I love flickr. I have helped many patrons with this site, but never took time to really use it myself. As you have figured out by now, I have great subjects to photograph so I have a real-life application for this. Also, one of the library cameras lives in my office and I have always saved photos on a shared drive. But now with my new knowledge of flickr, I can use this too!

With flickr I can show the world how two brothers share the love,and the sghetti sauce!

Posting with links to our fav stuff

I think we are supposed to make links in our blog, so I will do that now. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do.
Visit the Houston Zoo!

Visit Moody Gardens and have lunch with the dinosaurs

Fingerpaint..Its not just for paper anymore

Kermit has a left handed banjo

Frodo and Gandalf will be out begging for candy as they are practicing for halloween. It seems there is a shortage of tootsie rolls in Middle Earth and they plan on saving the fellowhip with a large supply of Sugar. Yes, I will force all blog reader to look at pictures of my kids.


Did yall ever notice that Kermit plays banjo left handed? Well I did not either, my father in law did. I bet if he noticed that, he surely has noticed the dust on top of my firdge. I presented you with some of my favorite things, Kermit and Willie. Now to the safety on the internet. I feel pretty good about it. I pay for everything I buy through paypal. You cant just go out and give strangers you credit cards or checking account number. Be smart. Pay through a secure service to a reliable vendor. Dont go to creepy chat rooms. This is a good way to find some more than interesting friends. Dont believe all the pop ups that say you won. You didint. DOnt reply to notices from your bank that you need to update your passcodes. You did not win any money from England, Ghana or Nigeria, especially if you dont know anyone there. Think about the internet like a carnival. You want to ride the ferris wheel, but all the vendors and hawkers are trying to get your attnetion and money while you are walking all the way to the back of the fair to ride the ride YOU want to. Ignore the others trying pull you off your path and keep going in the direction you wnat to .

Let the Blog Begin

I am doing the iHCPL training. I have figured out that I can have many blogs by using the same blogger account. It took me a while to remember my passwords. I do a blog for my kids too. I find blogs helpful and I have used them in real life. They are a way of finding people with similar needs or interests and hooking up with them to help each other out along they way. The blog I keep for my kids allows family from all over to see thier pictures and hear their stories without having to email everyone. I am not interested in blogs full of ramble and list of favorite breakfast foods, unless they include a reciepie for cinnamon scones (with icing)
