mapping youtube--that's just crazy

a friend of mine showed me how i can search google maps with the search term "youtube" and a zip code. you get "user-created content". this shows you youtube clips from folks in that zip code. it is simply amazing how fast information is collected and shared.

or is it being shared? anybody?

Monopoly Card Generator

How cool is that?

I made one for Mark's 40th birthday.

face to face

i hear folks lovin facebook. my teens love myspace. so i promise, cross my heart and poke a needle in my eye that i'll get back to it.

I try to be lovely. It ain't always easy.

This is a verse that helps remind me.

I did not sign up for Flikr. I don't have a great interest in accessing images.

I don't think this image was a good choice. I suppose there is some way to make it larger. I might go back and see if there are images of trendy exterior house colors. That is what I'm doing in my life right now---that and gardening.

i have opened pandora's box

and i love it. i was amazed how well pandora was able to match the music i like when all i supplied was an artist's name.

i am going to use it at work and at home. that's okay, right?

Snow? How can I garden?

ugh. it is my day off and i cannot garden because it is snowing! go figure. I wanted to trim back my strawberries and fertilize them. but no.

alas, i'm stuck indoors.

PWK

Parents without Kids.

The first time I heard that term was visiting NASA last November. The tour guide referred to the staff members with expensive sport cars parked in the lot as "PWKs". He indicated as a PWK you have more time, energy and money.

I recall that with great fondness today. Why? Thanks for asking.

Last night, about 11pm, I got up to see how Jessica was doing on her final essay for Washington State History. It was due last Monday. Marcella heard me come down the stairs, hid in a dark place, and jumped out scaring the wajeebeez (spelling?) out of me.

I got up this morning and informed my two cherubs that I had a difficult time getting back to sleep and felt exhausted. They felt bad and wanting to make ammends decided to help me jump start my day. In my world, that means a capaccino.

In their world? It means a pitcher of ice water while I'm taking a shower.

I'm thinking short sheeting and some raisin bran might be in their future!
