What did you learn?

What did you learn in our class? I know I learned that I should have crawled out from the stone age long before now. I have learned so many new things about blogging, journaling, moderating and even rss. I had a blast making a website!! I would have liked to have added sound to it but I did not know how. I have been having a lot of fun adding to my blog each week. I have learned how to add pictures here on my blog site. I really like the vin deisel site by one of our classmates and hope someday I can create a site that is as lively as that one. So, what have you learned to do that is and will be memorable?

The Life of a GOLDFISH





Have you ever just sat down and watched Goldfish? Well I have some and they are pretty remarkable. They actually talk to one another and this can be witnessed by watching how many times their mouths open and shut in a brief period of time. I have one fish that I call the "Momma" fish. When the food is dropped into the tank, she makes sure she eats first. I honestly think she cussed out the smaller fish because they now know not to eat until she has her fill. You ought to try it some time, its a good way to pass the time, when you just want to meditate.

From blogging to rss to our future of becoming robotic



I think society is on the upward climb toward becoming more and more robotic each and every day. What happened to being personal with friends like sending birthday cards, get well cards and cards or letters of interest? All that seems to be replaced by who says what on which blog. Loving comments are also being replaced by email--I miss the days when a letter would come in the mail. I miss sitting down with a cup of tea and reading about what is occurring on the other side of the mountain. Granted I understand blogs are a means in which to reach out to friends and foe but are they also not a means in which we become distant from those who once gave us such delight and interest? I feel as though we are becoming more and more like machines, unfeeling, uncaring, cold and distant. Just my thoughts, if you'd like to share yours, please do so.
