Thing 14- U Send It

https://www.yousendit.com/download/ T2pFTkZuQzN0TW52Wmc9PQ

Done.  I hope this is right. I definitely uploaded and sent something. Sorry, I didn't have a very big file to send, but I can see how this tool could be helpful in sending large files.

Thing 20-Podcast

I was very disappointed the first time when I tried to use this tool.  I thought that if it was that hard to gain access to ---chances are I never would use it.  I was so wrong!!!!!! I just listened to a podcast "A Conversation with Hip Hop's Pioneers", given at Cornell University in 2009, and it was wonderful.  I  can see this tool being very useful in FPL.

Thing 23- Reflections

HAL-LE-LU-JAH!!!!!!!  All right now!!  I have FINALLY completed this!!!! I feel like I have just given birth----- to a SUPERUSER

When I first started this long process, I felt as if "Scotty" had "beamed me up".  I was in a world that was totally new me.  Now, I must tell you -- I do know something about numbers.  I know: 3- makes me think of Dale Earnhardt, 31-makes me think of Baskin Robbins, 35-makes me think of my Weight Watcher points, any number followed by six zeros- makes me think of RETIREMENT, and now 23 makes me think of all the internet tools I have learned to use from this class.

I have to say, there were some "STUDS" and "DUDS" mixed in these things.  My favorite new things (that I never used before) are Flickr and Library Things.  These two things are tools that I have used EVERYDAY since learning about them! The "DUDS" for me would be all the other "things", because I personally won't use them after today.

Thing 9-Delicious

Well, I FINALLY figured out how to use this tool (I think).  I don't really think I would use this tool very often.  I say this because I feel some bookmarks are for home use and others are for work.

Thing 16

I finally got a chance to see this application in action.  My daughter was working with a group for a school project.  She showed me how she was able to share her portion of the document with the others and they could make changes if necessary.

Thing 22- User Choice

I have decided that Flickr is my favorite "thing" --- while doing this project.  It was neck and neck between this and library things but this site won.  The pics are AMAZING!!  I am very fond of anything dealing with Buffalo Soldiers---and the pictures of these brave men brought tears to my eyes.  LOVED IT!!!!! 

Thing 21- Wikis

Just finished 21-----now I'm almost done!!!!
I have looked up various people/things using Wikipedia, but I'm very leery of this website. I don't really trust that the information shown is TOTALLY accurate.  I found the different views of the restaurants provided by the staff very helpful.
