Challenge 17 AGAIN!

OK I called this morning to check on my pin number and it turns out I didn't even have one. So I got one put on my account and went about downloading my first book. I was going to try to download it to my Ipod but that wasn't working for me so I just downloaded it to my computer. I checked out After Midnight. I'm going to keep trying to get one to download one to my Ipod and see if I can get that to work. Very neat!

Challenge 21

I was already familiar with some of these tricks. Whenever I have trouble with my computer the first thing I do is restart. Sometimes I'll do it a couple times in a day if it just doesn't seem to be working up to par after the first time. I also change the screen resolution everytime I work on payroll. I did like the keyboard shortcuts and have been trying to remember the copy one for some time. Thanks Emily!

Challenge 20

I agree with everyone else about OSSwin. It is alot of information but it does seem to have some helpful things hidden in all those sites. jdictionary was neat and could come in handy. It had a English and Spanish dictionary and even gave translations.

I downloaded openoffice.org(which took longer then I thought) and I am really glad I did. I think this will be very good for Brandon and Alex's school work. They can use it for regular papers and also do presentation's and it even had a sheet you could use for formula's.

Challenge 19

I already have a My Yahoo page and I love it. Change the backgrounds for each season and Holiday and add new items all the time. I have the usual weather, email easy access, and most viewed news items. I also added some personal things like comics I like to ready and pet information that changes daily. The only drawback is I think my page might actually have too much information on it. Might be time to clean it up a little.

Challenge 18

I checked out the top three Music sites. Pandora was #2!!! We've been there!!! I tried out number 1 which was lastfm.com. Very close to Pandora radio. Type in the name of an artist you like and it will give you a list of like artists, also dates of events for the artist, and a little Biography about them.

I also went to the health top three. #1 was Revolutionary Health and I wasn't impressed. I typed in Pots disease which is something my cousin just found out she had. The only that came up was articles about illegal drug use. Defianetly not what I was looking for. The #2 site is Peertrainer.com. They offer you weekly meal plans and workout tips, and the kicker it's free. I will defianetly have to try this!

Challenge 17

OK I tried to log in to download a christmas story and I have no idea what my pin number is. I guess I will wait until tomorrow and call someone at work and change it to something I can remember. I know I'm as bad as the patrons.

Challenge 16

Oh I think I could go completely crazy on photoshop. I really like all the things you can do to your photos. I added a picture of our dog Koda and played with it a little. You can make the picture any color you want and even print them afterwards. I decided on changing his picture to look like a sketch. Very neat and he looks so cute. I will defianetly add some more photos and see what else I can get from this site.
