Avatars

Meez 3D avatar avatars games

I guess this is the me I wish to be. No matter how I tried I just couldn't really get it to look like me. As long as I am pretending I will put myself right back down there for a walk on the beach in Cali, have dinner with my other Marine sons and watch the glorious sunset.

Online Docs

yeah so I tried the google docs, but I doubt I will ever use them, especially in the job I am doing now.

Search Engines

I have used several different search engines and find I use different ones depending on what I am looking for. Most recently it is for "Obidiah Froats". Whatever happened to him? When I was in third grade and had to do the "Easter Parade" at school I was complaining about my partner to my sister. She said in the most sour voice you can imagine from a 9 year old "at least you don't have to dance with Obie Froats" Funny how that has recently come back to me. Now when there is something I really don't want to do I just think "at least I don't have to dance with Obie Froats." I'm real curious how he turned out and since my sister has been divorced many years maybe it is time to reconnect with Obie...who knows. Sadly I can't find him. I only found one small clipping stating an Obidiah Froats (child) died in 1971 I believe. That would have made him about 13 if he is our Obie. Now that I am older and wiser I wonder what awful childhood that small boy may have endured. He was always filthy dirty in tattered clothing, poor kid.

Podcasting

By the time I figured this one out (thanks to Ryan) and found something I actually was interested in my hour was up. One of these days maybe I'll get back to it, most likely not. I was so frustrated the first time around why put myself thru it all again.

Online image generators

I really wanted to manipulate photos, but that proved to be beyond my abilities. I need way more instructions than what was provided, it just totally frustrated me so I ended up going to the flags of all countries generator and pulled up the flag for Ireland. Yes I am proud to be an American, but am also proud of my Irish heritage and try to remember this bit of wisdom given to me by a young friend.

OverDrive Revisited

A big Thanks goes out to Capt ILL for "retrieving the Digital Rights Management machine identification." Can't wait to start listening to City of Masks: Cree Black Mystery series book 1!

OverDrive

Sooo excited about OverDrive! I got on and checked out a couple books, but when I went to download them I got a message that said "ERROR OxCOOD2781: A problem has occurred in retrieving the Digital Rights Management machine identification." hmmmm no idea what to do with this so need some tech help. I tried a different computer in our area and it would download, but doesn't do me much good since I don't sit at that desk. I will try from home and see if I can get it onto my ipod then I can listen to it at work, in the car, sitting by the firepit....endless possibilities.
I enjoyed browsing the staff favorites and look forward to checking what music is available.
