NaNoWriMo

I have signed up to write a novel in 30 days. I have until midnight on November 30 to complete a 50,00 word novel. Needless to say, I think I will not be doing chores this month. The idea is to write quick and dirty and not be burdened down by editing or wordsmithing. Let the creative juices flow. Edit later. Bad news for all you wanna-be authors - deadline to register was tonight at midnight.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- Here I come.

A friend showed me his pumpkin. Thought you might enjoy the art of the thing.

What is a Meme? and Why did I participate in one?

I found this meme (what does meme stand for?) on another Blog and thought I would give it a shot. The idea is to take your iPod shuffle (in my case Zen Player) and take a random shuffle to fill in the sond track of your life. Here is how mine goes --

Some of the picks just do not make much sense. Hong Kong Phooey for Deep Thought? No. Sex song is the death song from Braveheart? Weird . . But some how it might make sense. Falling in love music by Sting? Rock On!!!

I think I'll burn it as a CD!!! Ha Ha HA!

Pod Cast?

I have made an attempt at creating my first selfmade audio broadcast. A podcast or an Audio Blog? That is the rub. I'm not sure what to call it.

I'm also having trouble remembering how to upload a file to the blog. I know I got the "cat's in the cradle" to play on the blog. I wish I could remember how. I'll play around for a little longer and if I don't figure it out, good night Gracie.

Blogger Beta

I just switched to the Beta. I do not know what this means. My blog looks the same. There are suppose to be some more options. I noticed that I can set up labels for ease of use. I will be interested to play around with this.

For Eli from your Uncle-In-Law
