Del-icio-us could be a very useful site for saving favorites, as I've lost many of mine when my computer crashed. I don't like the "social" aspect, though. That part should be optional, I think.

Haven't quite gotten the hang of twitter yet. May take a little more exploration. My name there is Jrowes.

Great way to get suggestions! Just getting started.

Good heavens! I just figured out I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread... You would not believe the amount they eat. I hope they bring chocolate!.I am absolutely consumed with feeding the little people, choosing my retirement village, just generally being a slave to my kids, my day is dreadfully busy from the light through yonder window breaks to midnight. I am not complaining though. life happens.I make a solemn vow I will try to remember my blog password more often in future. No, really! Don't hold your breath though, you're likely to turn blue..

I found a lazy blogger site. All I had to do was fill in the blanks with prepared phrases. Kinda cute. Here's where I found it.

The bloglines site provided a wealth of newsfeeds on a wide range of topics. That was probably the most interesting and easiest to use for me. Of course, as previously stated, time does not allow for much internet use. These sites do make more efficient use of the time that I do have.

Newsfeeds seem like they would be fun. HOWEVER, one must have time to sit at the computer. When time allows, I prefer to sit with a good book.

Okay, I'm finally at activity #7. Whew!....Well.....technology allows us to do many things that we would otherwise be unable to do. We can access information whenever we want, communicate with people all over the world in an instant, comment on a live newscast as it's being broadcast, and so many other things that help us unleash our creativity, if we choose to do so. We are living in an increasingly interactive world because of it. It has increased the speed with which we do everything to an almost dizzying pace, but I would miss it.
