Lost flickr episode + Views of Burning Man



It seems my attempts at flickr never made it to the postings. This gives me a chance to go back and consider what I personally would like to see. I like the spectacular and colorful. Burning man is certainly a great annual spectacle. Hmmm, maybe I'll go someday.

Home Stretch

Week 10: Yay! Yipee! I've made it this far. If I can keep my wits about me, I should get through this with a modicum of dignity. And speaking of dignity, I can think of no surer way to lose it than to muck about in the overly-eager world of friends online at MySpace. I did create an account there but, I was rather unspecific about personal facts.
I'm not sure how we would use MySpace for our purposes, but I'd love to create a site called Newburgh Noir and see how weird our local MySpacers really are. Just a thought. Maybe, I wouldn't really want to know -- "Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of Men?"

Podcast -- BBC Scotland


Last week, I went looking for an interesting podcast. I found a few good ones (Meditation - for wellness, Bad Buddhist Radio and Alan Watts) but, I was unable to install them, so I went "mainstream" to the BBC of Scotland.
I once visited Scotland for 2 weeks and I hope to go back again. Above is a view of "New Town" including Princes Street and the shopping area as seen from the Edinburgh Castle. Library Lass has already given us a view of the castle on the wiki.

Numa Numa

This was the first YouTube that anyone ever sent me. Love it still.

A New Set of Tools

Just for fun, I went through that Web 2.0 Awards list and seized on http://www.last.fm/ -- which is a "radio station". I wonder how or if it will translate to my blog. As for "work", see Zoho Show (for online slide presentations) just to the right.

The Week Off

I'm glad that Jeannie called a moratorium on this project. I know I was finding the pace a bit demanding. This gives me a chance to go back and digest a few things. For example, Flickr was not compatible with Blogspot/Blogger, at least, I didn't find it so. I did as much as I could with it but I knew I would have to go to Picasa.
