Streaming Videos

Roxie and I thought the streaming video sites were fun. We logged on to YouTube and found videos of USC (my Alma Mater) libraries. Roxie especially liked the marching bands performance outside the library during exam week. Roxie is too young to remember studying for exams but liked the music.
Our trips to Hulu and Fancast were equally as entertaining. We are able to catch our favorite TV shows and some of our favorite movies. Roxie was disappointed that neither site carried broadcasts from the National Geographic Channel. How is she going to see missed episodes from the Dog Whisperer and Cesar Milan? (Roxie is really into the study of dog psychology.) Roxie was pleased that she could watch LA Confidential from Fancast. Russell Crowe is a favorite of Roxie's.
We think that all three sites could be useful for libraries for entertainment and education. Community libraries could record programs, upload to YouTube and link to Sno-Isle website.

Eons and Eons of Friends

Roxie and I visited Eons in hopes of finding new friends who are interested in quilting and love dogs. We met Suzy from Charleston, West Virginia. She has been quilting for many years in the company of her chocolate lab, Amy.

Roxie and her photo album

Roxie spent most of the day trying to decide which of pictures she wanted post on Flickr. She was so excited that she could share these photos with friends and family. Maybe she will be discovered and become rich and famous.

Streaming Music

Wow!! We went to pandora.com and found all of our favorites. My first choice was Bread (a group from the early 1970's). They had captured all my memories. Roxie has more eclectic tastes but finally settle on Patsy Cline's Crazy as her favorite. Roxie is quite graceful when she dances to the music. I wish I had her moves.

RSS

Roxie loves seeing the most up-to-date news and information. She especially likes National Geographic and Scientific American. She keeps in touch with all of the new advances in canine care.

IM

Roxie, Matt and I started instant messaging. It was very easy. We spent almost an hour just sending messages learning the lingo and sending happy faces.

Fun with blogging

Here I sit at the keyboard trying to think up something creative. Roxie is snoozing in the corner self assured that she is the most creative one between the two of us. She leaves the more mundane tasks to me.

Creating the blog wasn't hard. It is the posting that is a challenge.
