So <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">apparently</span> I am so very unoriginal that I am a robot. See it is true, television and not eating your vegetables makes you a drone. Or maybe I am just fooling you all and I am a fem-bot come to observe humans and one day take over this planet! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Muh</span> ha ha ha!!!<br /><br />Anyway, I am writing my final blog for this Learn 2.0, and I know I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">excruciatingly</span> late with it. What can I say, I'm a procrastinator, I have a bad memory, and my off desk time is used up by claims returns, emails, and off desk duties. So here I am in August finishing this thing that should have been done weeks ago. AND I won't be able to email anything to anyone yet because I am a robot. Bloody robots.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Hmm</span>, anything else to report? I didn't tile my floor, but I did paint it and have put up shelves and moved some of my stuff out of my mom's living room and kitchen. Work is work, as it always is. I don't want to go back to school in a couple weeks but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">apparently</span> it is the "best" thing for me to do, so says the world at large. And I am trying to figure out what to do with my life. Oh, and the other day I and a friend communicated with a being from one of the lower planes, who called himself the devil, but I don't believe him.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com199tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-59769980328431498882007-07-19T20:41:00.000-07:002007-07-19T20:48:28.597-07:00Hmm...<span style="color:#9999ff;">I am supposed to write two more blogs to make my ten. I am not quite sure what to say...random things I suppose.</span><br /><span style="color:#9999ff;">I would write about the awesome video the branch I work at put together for the Staff Day event...but if word gets out someone might snatch up the idea...and I don't want to contaminate the think tanks out there.</span><br /><span style="color:#9999ff;">So what else is there? I cut off all my hair. My shoulders hurt. I am going to tile my bedroom floor tomorrow. I am going to eat some ice cream and go to bed.</span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-85799651599533565062007-07-19T20:30:00.000-07:002007-07-19T20:37:30.954-07:00Okay...so I didn't completely complete this yet<span style="color:#ffff33;">I am on the final week though. So you want to know what I am going to do with an MP3 player, huh?</span><br /><span style="color:#ffff33;">Well, I already have an Ipod, that I store all of my music on. But I suppose that is all I would really use the MP3 for as well. </span><br /><span style="color:#ffff33;">I won't use it for audio books because I absolutely hate listening to them. How can I enjoy a book if I am not reading? Sorry all you who love the audio book, I just can't get into a story, into the character's shoes, if I am not reading, it is probably a concentration issue.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffff33;">So, yeah, more storage for my growing music collection.</span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com65tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-991293274165532132007-07-04T10:43:00.000-07:002007-07-04T10:56:33.576-07:00Fourth of July<span style="color:#ffccff;">And I am completing this...eh, I don't mind.<br /></span><span style="color:#ffccff;">Anyway, I liked both LivePlasma and MusicMap, the only difference I really noted in my search is MusicMap gave a wider variety in genre related to the search, where as LivePlasma if you search for a rock group it pretty much produced only bands from that genre. Both good tools though.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">As far as the whole sharing music thing goes I am on the fence. I definitely understand the musicians point of view. They are artists and creating something, and though they would like to share it, it is also how they make a living. It is somewhat disrespectful. I mean if you stole a Munch (which has happened by the way) or a Dali or a DaVinci and you were caught you would be arrested, so why not have the same risk involved when it comes to music? Then again I...well, maybe I am just going to plead the fifth. Or how about this...I have known "people" who are "guilty" of burning music for their own personal use. However do I think they should be thrown in jail or stuck with a hefty fine? No, I don't...so, yeah, my opinions on this fight amongst themselves. </span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-40673754674001182962007-06-27T17:27:00.000-07:002007-06-27T17:34:45.181-07:00So this has grown on me a bit...<span style="color:#ffcccc;">I must admit in general I hate sitting in front of a computer for too long. However, thus far this 2.0 process has grown on me. I do find it interesting, though some of these things I was already familiar with, and it has been...oh no, dare I say it...fun? Yes, I admit it, I am having a bit of fun looking through some of the information introduced here...there, my confession is out.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">By the by anyone at Herndon, you have to find the photo of EdPotter on Flickr.</span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-65500727287699828022007-06-27T16:34:00.000-07:002007-06-27T16:43:00.234-07:00Seven!<span style="color:#ccccff;">I definitely enjoyed looking through the Catster site, which had some crazy cat videos.</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">I also found the Chug'd site fun to browse through, and surprisingly informative. These are some quotes from the site I found amusing.</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">"Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy." -- Benjamin Franklin</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">"Give me a woman who truly loves beer, and I will conquer the world." -- Kaiser Wilhelm II</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">"Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." -- Homer Simpson </span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-65107653542808857492007-06-27T16:12:00.000-07:002007-06-27T16:22:10.470-07:00Week Six<span style="color:#99ffff;">I really enjoyed looking through the sites, especially What Should I Read Next? and BookMooch.</span><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;">BookMooch in particular reminded me of something near my Grandma's house in Connecticut. At the local trash yard there was a shed on the same property, and inside people brought all their old, unwanted books and could take as many as they wanted. Most, like my Grandma, would take a book, initial it after reading it, then return it for others to read. </span><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;">BookMooch, the online Book Shed. Very exciting. </span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com78tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-84927177150961708572007-06-22T16:49:00.001-07:002007-06-22T16:52:38.830-07:00Alright...<span style="color:#ffcc99;">So I have pretty much completed Week Four.<br />This is all very interesting, I do enjoy the sharing of creativity, especially the silly creativity.<br />However, I am getting a head ache from sitting at this computer. So I think I must abandon this for now and go DO something.</span>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09120374787042121196noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135336669564829765.post-90013457859690389932007-06-22T15:11:00.000-07:002007-06-22T15:18:15.993-07:00So I have completed week three...<span style="color:#99ff99;">I have always hated "surfing" the Internet. Unless I have a distinct, exact purpose for being online I just don't.<br />Thus, though this activity of adding RSS files was easy, it was frustrating because I was searching for non specified listings.<br /><br />Tally Ho!
