IM having fun

Okay, the IM part of the learning was lots of fun. I can see that it would come in handy at times, easier than a phone call, but kind of distracting to have it on at all times while trying to get work done. Also, I need to learn all the acronyms, and this is something I do want to do. I printed up the list of acronyms that the link went to and it is helpful, but I take longer finding what I want to say in acronyms than it would take to type out the whole sentence. The You Tube links were fun to share too! Overall "IM" having fun, but not sure if it is something I would use a lot otherwise.

Keeping up is fun to do!

Well, for someone who talks as much as I do, I find that I have very little to say in a blog. I have been having fun with the "things" and am excited by having more to do. I think I want to find a good photo to put up, or maybe a quote. I'll try to find something tomorrow. I am having fun, just thinking what to say seems the hardest for me.

My first Blog

Wow, this is much easier than I had expected! I am really excited about this whole process and looking forward to the many things we will be learning over the coming months. I have a son and I am desperately trying to stay one step ahead of him technologically speaking (hence the name of my blog). I have a list of things that I have been meaning to learn to do, and now I will have no excuse not to get around to doing them since most of them are part of our "things". The "Shift Happens" video really emphasized to me how on top of technology I will need to be in order to not be left in the dust by him and his entire generation. I am looking forward to the other "things".
