Pride and Prejudice…Facebook Style

Missy is a fan of Pride and Prejudice Facebook style.

Well worth the reading. A few of my favorite lines from the above link:

Elizabeth Bennet and Caroline Bingley are attending the event Take a Turn about the Room.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is proposing to Elizabeth Bennet. It is not going well. :-/

Mrs. Bennet KNEW that single men with good fortunes would want wives.

It's all [...]

Socializing

Those of you that know me know that I've been "tottering on the brink" (to borrow from the 1940 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice) of sanity for some time. Today I went over the brink…I signed up for Twitter and Facebook.

I suspect I'll fade on Twitter fairly quickly, but until then you can check my [...]

Test

Just testing the new Typepad iPod Touch program from the App Store. So far I can’t get it to show my categories and I don’t like that I have to type in portrait mode instead of landscape, which has bigger keys. I also don’t see a away to edit previously published posts.

It does have [...]

November Writing Challenges

It’s NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo. Where do they come up with these names? That’s NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Posting Month, and NaNoWriMo, also known as National Novel Writing Month. Since these both have to do with writing, you’d think they could write better acronyms!

NaBloPoMo participants are challenged to write a post every day. NaNoWriMo participants [...]

Mom Talk

Here are the things a mom says in a 24-hour period, but sung in 2:55 minutes to the William Tell Overture. Yes, I’ve heard many of these my from Mom, but I’m too old to have heard the "no texting at the table," "no more computer tonight," and "your iPod is my iPod if you [...]

Post That!

I’m sitting here writing a blog post that I can’t post to my blog. (Isn’t English postilious!) My Internet connection has been down for about three hours. I sent some emails a little before nine and right after that everything went dark.

At least this didn’t happen in the middle of the day when I [...]

TypePad Recently Updated List

There are several things I like about TypePad, but since I’m sick, I’m not going to list them now.

One thing I don’t like is that they don’t do much to promote the blogs using their service. They always have a short list of "Recently Updated Blogs," but it is very short and NOW [...]

Zooomr Beta

Adirondack Park Hosted on Zooomr

I’ve just signed up for Zooomr, a Flickr like photography service with a few additional features. I’ve only uploaded one picture, the fabulous vista above, as I "figure out" the service. So far I’m liking what I see, but since I’m new to these services, a little more online help would [...]
