Next step is to check out all the cool things you can do with Flickr and comment. I like the organizational tools you can use to compile your pictures into albums. I never quite get around to conventional scrap booking, maybe I'll have a better shot online.

We are also asked to comment on an aspect of technology that intrigues us. Check this out:

It is an introduction to the new table from Microsoft where all type of images can be manipulated by hand. You can also paint on it and download pictures and information from your cell phone simply by placing the camera/phone on the tabletop. It blows my mind and is very SCI FI. What will Bill Gates and company think of next? The skies the limit. Happy hunting!

Flickr

This week as you all know we are exploring Flickr and part of the exercise is to add a picture from that site. I think I will try to find a picture that encapsulates a favorite word and start from there..

Okay alpaca is the word of the day, cool word, cute beast. I don't really need a Flickr account right now, so just try this link and I guarantee it will put a smile on your face :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/klocean/291797208/

Here it is, Testing 1, 2, 3 my very first attempt at blogging.

I feel slightly foolish as I don't feel I have that much of interest to say. But, I will say that I love to read, and am a connoisseur of words. Everyone has a favorite word and I have selected a few for you perusal.

Let me know what your favorite word is and why.

My favorite word is autumnal, I just love the way it rolls off the tongue and it conjures up visions of pumpkins, fall leaves and apples.

My family members favor silhouette, because it sounds cool and legitimate, or legit, because it is solid and straight up.

My friends favorite is serendipitous.

There you have it post 1, blog 1, the universe awaits....
