A New Blog!!!!

I am blogging again and nobody seems to care.

Oh well, we wil see what happens.

Damn I don't know what I want to blog about.

Hmmmmmm.....

Anybody see any good movies lately?

MP3 Uses!!

I am going to use my MP3 to try and download some smaller books to it. I download books from the library quite frequently but I haven't downloaded any to the MP3 I got for Christmas because its to full of music.

The MP3 that we are getting I think is too small to downlaod a big book but I will give it a try. I love downloading books that we don't have in our CDB collection and listening to them while I work around the house. However I need some new speakers for the computer because it doesn't always come out that lous and its hard to hear when I'm on the other side of the room.

I am looking forward to playing with my new MP3. Thank you very much!

On-line learning!

On-line Learning is a fantastic way to learn things, espeically if you are pressed for time. I took Ready, Set, Go! last year and to RUSA course was alot of fun, although sometimes its hard to keep up with the chatting that is going on.

I have helped a couple people with their online course they were taking at VCC, basically becuase they had not been around a computer that much.

I am going back to VCC hopefully next year and I am going to try and take as many online courses as I possible can.

Downloadable Music.....

.....is a unique concept but I find myself troubled sometimes with it. Mainly it is hard to find the music I like because most sites don't carry it or if they do they carry a recently re-edited version of the song not the original. Case in point...I was trying to find "Watcher Of The Skies" by Genesis on Itunes and the only one I could find was a remix...a shorter version of the song I wanted. The other side of this coin is that sometimes I can find the only song I like off an album that I think is full of dogs.

I also don't want my favorite artisits to sail off into oblivion because no is buying their music since they can get it free off the internet. Thats why I really dislike Napster. Music is a universal feeling but the artists who make it shouldn't lost their ability to make it because some schmo dosn't want to but their music.

Great Sites!!!

I love the dogster site....bassett hounds rule!!! The puzzle player is my new favorite site....I love crosswords and I would be up all night playing!! It can be very addicting!!

I have several website that are devoted to book lovers but they all seem to deal with people's reaction to books they have read. I want to find a site that will list books, specifically non-fiction, that are out or are coming out. I don't necessarily want to read some else's interpretation of a book, especially if they didn't really like the author or the subject matter. Thats why amazon's reviews are no good. Too many people posting reviews.

This is how I dress on my days off!

Books! Books! Books!

I love using the library databases when looking for new titles.....Novelist, What Do I Read Next....awesome, awesome, awesome! The only draw back is that they don't have a database for non-fiction titles...hhmmm maybe I will create one!!

If any one knows of a good database for non-fiction books please let me know!!
