Hello to all of my fellow Saturday Nite Shut-ins here in the frozen northland. Us old folks are stayin' home watchin' a pay per view tonight – "K-19, The Widowmaker". It's kind of scarey for someone who lived through the time period. With a blank stare and wrinkle brow, my wife said, "I remember this!" It makes you wonder how often we come close to total world distruction like this, and never find out about it. Hi, guys, did you ever write sonnet? Tell you how I write one. First, write a paragraph.Second, divide it into 14 lines.At last, count the feet, and check the rhyme. :) Don't laugh at me.I tried all my best. I feel very inconvinent for "abab cdcd efef gg" and some other regide requirement. To find an exact word at the end of each line, I used up all my wits. I love blank verse! The voice of a child is a cute blog about the sturggles of a mom with her kids. I liked it. As a mom and full time student, the frustration with your kids and their study habits is a long and arduous one. I found that my nephew was struggling with his spelling, so I bought him a Twist and spell game. My brother loads the spelling list and then Jon works on his list all week long, and has greatly improved his tests. Friday, January 24, 2003
Found out friday morning: if you have keyless entry and you need to jumpstart your car, take out the keys! I didnt, my doors locked, and I was taught a $35.00 lesson. All hail technology...I want a horse!?! Row, row, row yer boat... Hiya all! Rowanstaff / Jeremy here. I got shown how to use the new mail and it works. Rejoice! Well, off to work on my blog. Seeya! Jessica, I just read your blog. This is what I have to say to you. I know you can I know you can I know you can! You are tough and funny and smart and determined. You care and it shows. Los Angeles, Seattle or any point in between you will make a good life for yourself. That comes from within, it isn't bestowed, and girl you got it! hey, just to let you bloggers know...my name is spelled gibbins....there is no O....if you want to change it -great...otherwise if it's to much trouble..its cool with me. thanks Renee Blogger went down yesterday as I was tweaking my blog. You probably ran into them having to fix their servers or some other catastrophe they had. I think I've found one of my purposes for blogging. I'll work on linking and maybe add another blog this weekend when I have some more time, but check out my blog if you have any interest in history or geology. Thursday, January 23, 2003
I have been checking out other blogs as they come up on the right hand side. Usually it is the name that intrigues me. But oh my, I think I really don't understand much about life out side of the cold comfort zone. Some blogs are interesting, some are fun but a lot of them are just creepy. eww ish . Oh, Ayleen, I did check out your cheatsheet and I just don't get it. I think it has to do with all the punctuation and whatnot. I will get it, but it may just take some time. I haven't the textbook till now. But I should do something before the arrive of the book. Now, I want to try how to link. I have finally figured out my BSU email and I have the ability to post to this blog - Yay! Now can anyone help me add links to my blog? I must just be missing how to do it; I can't seem to figure it out even with the books' help. Also, if anyone was wondering what was up, I added my fiance to my blog team. I thought it would be interesting to see if he ever posts since this isn't a grade thing for him. Mark, I posted about audience in my blog today, after a good comment by Russ after class. I don't want to repost it here, but take a look if you'd like. Also, I believe the other Josh had some comments on the subject. I hope this helps. Add On's and Suggestions Add a site search engine to your page Very easy to set up. May need to know a little HTML or how to use Dreamweaver/Frontpage Webmonkey: A place where you can find answers to most of your problems or find interesting new ways to work on your HTML I suggest printing this out You can use this HTML cheat sheet for your blog entries. My suggestions
make links that are imbedded in your text pop up in a new screen “_blank” make the text of your blog the meat of the site, I.E. first thing you see A schedule for blogging can be good if that is the push you need don't always listen to what the books say, it's your voice you are typing, not theirs. don't always listen to my suggestions, the books may say they are bad *grin* The possibility of a better grade will cause me to blog more than I journal. The real test of how much this blogger will blog comes after this semester and blogging isn't attached to a class. I realized that I hadn't posted to my blog yesterday. This reminds me of one of the drawbacks I used to perceive in journal/diary writing: this sense that I was obliged to enter every day. I got over that, and so now I write in my journal only when I feel the desire. Does the potential for a real audience other than self cause us to blog more than we journal? I need to get to your sites and start blogging them! And, according to Stauffer, start using capitals. :) Did anyone else drown in chapter 8? Yikes. Thanks everone for the introductions today. It feels better to put a face with the names of the screen. I'll try to get into the swing of things better this weekend. Wednesday, January 22, 2003
Must be all this talk about Walmart. I went tonight for the first time in months. Helped a young man shop for some clothes. That store just exhausts me. I am the worlds worst shopper anyway and the bigger the store the more I try to avoid it. I sound like an old crank (which is not totally incorrect) internet shopping and catalogs are the the next best thing to candy. My version of hell would include a trip to the Mall of America. My daughter's boyfriend worked at WalMart for two years when he was in highschool. He said they had good benefits and Christmas bonuses. A few years ago my parents moved to Montana and now both work for Sam's Club, another part of the WalMart machine. Life would be easier if everything political, social and moral fit into neat little boxes with tidy little labels . . . contents of this box are right, contents of this box are wrong.If you are having troubles setting up your BSU email account, go to the computer help office in the tunnel, where the bookstore used to be years ago, and they will give you an envelope with all your account information. Including a little card with your user name(which might be different from your address name), etc... I find Wal-Mart has fallen into the same category as Microsoft! It seems everyone has a problem at times with it. Yet in the end we all end up using some form of their services! Even die hard Mac users have to interface through the Gates that Bill controls... Renee's comment about the BSU professor's wife at WalMart made me laugh. I also taught in the section Renee speaks of. I heard the peroration about WalMart. My wife shops there--shamelessly. She even drags me along sometimes. She uses guilt trips to get me to go there, where I then feel guilty for being present. Moral conundrums. My blog has begun. I'm intending to build it around teaching and learning writing. To visit, click here. Monday, January 20, 2003
Diarist.net (link picked up via Ayleen's college life. Would someone blog diarist.net | awards for us? Visit the site, see what it's all about, let others know if it's something they might want to submit something to. I'll start inviting participants to this collective blog this week. A network is growing People are posting to their blogs, and visiting others and crosslinking. Both Joshuas - Joshua Murry at Joggua, and Joshua Pageua at UA, I've been Josh too long have posted about each other. Renee Loud has been taking care of a sick girl at Walk Away Renee and building her blog roll. I'm adding blogs to the Daybook blog roll as the addresses come in. And who says weekends have to be dull, huh? Sunday, January 19, 2003
Ayleen - Your name is currently (as of Sunday am) listed as the newest member on PotentKnowledge - Beer College = PotentKnowledge. The site looks ambitious. I wonder how long it's been up and who contributes to it - and what it might become. |
