Thanks! I've been wanting to take the podcast class at my branch for some time now. I've heard snippets of information as I walk past a class in session... My son and some of his friends have been podcasting for monthes now! Now I understand it better. But, I still want to take the class!

I appreciate the opportunity to download an audio book. I don't think I would have tried this on my own. I have been wanting to get into The Cat Who series and now I have one available to me - for three weeks anyway. I wish I could have had this before my Sunday drive to Fort Myers. I would have finished the entire book!

I had thought that I would be just using my MP3 player for music. Huh - now I'm going to be using it for books. I'll be "reading" while I garden; doing two of my favorite things at once! Got to love the effeciency there!

Today is my lucky day! I actually figured something out on my own! I got my Meez animated!
But when will I learn patience?

Ureka! I now have a widget! Do a seach for David Benoit and play it. The music here relaxes me almost as much as gardening or eating what I've baked!

Now, why isn't my Meez animated as it should be? Where's that computer tech - I need help again!

This is beginning to get deep - heavy thinking - ethically....

I strongly feel that artists' deserve to be compensated their works. Therefore, I feel that any form of unauthorized copying is unethical and unfair to the artist and his/her "partners" (managers, producers, etc.). It is depriving him/her of "earned" income.

Unfortunately, trying to get a deal - or something for nothing - tends to be the popular American mindset. Not for me - I believe in earning what you get, getting what you earn and deserve. I think music and videos should be protected legally and technologically! I feel that there should be a payment system for all downloads.

How's that for a definitive answer?

Couldn't get the widget site to cooperate from my home computer today, so I'll bug the tech at work tonight! Hope to have something new to post tomorrow!

As previous indicated, I am truly enjoying this course. I couldn't wait for it to be Tuesday and had to beg my son to quit playing his online game so that I could dive into this weeks' lesson!

As for offering to help anyone - I'm way to inexperienced! I do ask (bother) our branches' computer god for advice and help - far too often!

About working with other; I've been soloing on this quest due to work status! I'm a part-timer who works predomently at night. When I arrive, it's time to relieve the full-timer for her dinner break. The others, on the floor, have been counting down to 5:30 and they rushing to wrap up their 'project du jor'. Not a time for learning or collaborating. So, I've been merrying skipping down the learning path alone! It's been working out just fine. I'm further along then anyone else!
Now to find a camera and take some shots...
