This is a test.

Well, it was a long journey, but for the most part, it was worth it. I learned of many things that I didn't have a clue about, and I will use many of them in the future. I also enjoyed volleying back and forth with several co-workers, and sharing pretty pictures, etc. I think there are some things that relate to my job, but others were not too pertinent. As far as a future endeavor, I would have to consider what was being offered. Thanks for the opportunity to increase my knowledge.

I tried a few of the Yahoo trial games. I am a bit of a puzzle/gamer person to begin with, so these were fun to try. I usually play Bejeweled2, and get quite involved on my lunch hours. It's good to see some other titles. I don't think it is too relevant to our jobs, however.

I had a lot of fun with GoogleEarth. I do love maps, and checking out the universe was quite a trip, as well. We checked out each other's houses from the air, and spotted our vehicles, trees, etc. I am sure there will be many uses for this in the future. Thanks for the introduction.

I tried a spreadsheet in both googledocs and zoho. In zoho, I chose Japanese, just to see what it looked like, and I can't get it back to English. My bad. I can see where these might come in handy if you don't have Office. It certainly could save some money if you didn't.

I tried out DoppelMe, and created an avatar. Unfortunately, I look like a prepubescent boy....I really haven't had much time to explore, but will get to it. there really is a lot out there, that I never knew existed. This has been quite a journey.

I added the UC/Berkley site to my favorites, and also Dogpile. I tried Mamma, but it wouldn't open. I will try it later. I like Dogpile, but didn't do intensive comparisons, so don't know how much more effective it is than just Google (my preferred choice). It's good to know about the various options.
