Update Bren's Blog

Hello!
Well, I'm still working on joining the 21st century (with many thanks to Marf, my favorite computer whiz kid)! Since she is having to drag me, kicking and screaming, across the 20th century, it has been an exhausting, though enriching, trip. (Yes, P., I will be taking the computer survey...though I think the results are already apparent!)

My writer friends are all talking about the importance of having their own web page. I'm doing good to use word instead of a pencil for writing my stories. (I completely skipped using a pen...can't erase!)

But I digress ... I have created my map of states visited...can tell I'm a Southern gal! So far I've never been lucky enough to travel outside the USA.
I registered at Bloglines but the site was having problems (honest!) so I couldn't aggrevate ... er... aggregate my blog or RSS subscriptions. Will try again later, soon as I figure out what exactly all of that means!
I also visited Libraryelf and Librarything. Haven't cataloged any books yet but I will.
Checked out Firefox...looks like it lets you put things right out front on the menu bar instead of hiding them in favorites or wherever but otherwise not much different (maybe a little faster?).
Went to Wikipedia to find out what bookmarklets are. Now I need someone to explain all the jargon Wikipedia used to define bookmarklets! Speaking of learning a new language! P., does computer jargon count?
Visited Podscope. Sorry,don't know any other sites; at least not yet.
Set up personalized Google page.
So basicly, I need to go to such sites as MovieFlix, Blinx, and Flickr, iTunes or Kazaa. as well as download a file to a Mp3 player. Marf just brought me hers. Soon as I figure out where to plug it in...:)
So, maybe by Thanksgiving I'll be ready to start 2.1!
Pray for me!
Bren
