I loved the Color Pickr. I always enjoy arranging things by color – kind of a dangerous hobby for a librarian!! I have no idea what use I could find for it, but after this very gray and snowy day all that color was a treat.
Retrievr is also fun, but since it lets me find photos based on my sketching abilities, I don’t think I’ll be retrieving many photos!! I drew what I thought was a pretty nice picture of poppies and got everything from people to umbrellas -everything that is except poppies!
It was difficult to know how to get this word from the Spell with Flickr website to my blog. I ended up copying the code and pasting it right into my blog after I clicked the tab that said code. I don’t know how this would work in other applications, but I’m glad I can actually see it here.
I never thought I would have my own blog. I have enjoyed reading sewing and craft blogs for a long time, but the urge to write my own never hit me. I could never figure out how the writers had time to sew all their own clothes, homeschool their children, grow their own vegetables etc. etc. and still had a few spare minutes to rhapsodize about the sunrise and take pictures of the sticky buns they baked for breakfast.
I don’t expect to take many pictures of my family’s breakfast, but it is fun to be on the writing side of the blog for a change.
I always find viewing problems as challenges a bit difficult. It is easier in theory, I think, than in practice.I love setting up the “toolbox” necessary for a new project. That may be my fatal flaw – I take so much time reading about a project and assembling the tools that I never actually get started!!
I am excited to be a part of this program. I am somewhat familiar with many of the technologies we will be exploring, but I have never taken the time to really learn about them. Maybe I will learn something my seventeen year old son doesn’t already know!!
