Ooohhh this is a fun thing to play with. I've got to remember to tell my sister about it.

Thing #7 - Technology

I like to think of technology as both a tool and a toy. I've learned that makes it easier to learn about it and not be afraid to play around with it and make mistakes. 'Cause while I might have learned a few things, there's still lots out there. So, I guess that means lots more playtime, hmmm?

I like the convience of web technology. It lets me keep track of my favorite authors and what they are putting out. I'll even head over to the publishers website to see what books they have coming out this month.

I have my very own geek who tries to keep me technology oriented. So far, he has gotten me to play around (a little bit) with an IPAQ - I've a list of all my dvd's on the storage card, along with my sci-fi collection. Now, he wants me to figure out the mp3 player. And yes, I've added a few songs to it and listened. But I'm now thinking of seeing if I can add an audiobook to it. Even more reading time (hehee)!

My creation - discovering Montagr

After looking through the selection of mashups, I finally decided to play with Montagr (I think that's what this is). It took me a bit of trial and error to figure out what mosaic imaging that I wanted. Then the hard part came - to find 13 photos out of the millions out on flickr. The words I used to find these beautiful pictures were: cats, bridal bouquet, bozarth mansion, "beauty and the beast", roses, Ireland, fairy, castle in the mist, australia, lightning and red rose.

I think that the next time I play with this flickr toy that I need to go into it with a theme in mind.

Fairy tale

I was looking for something, but I didn't know what kind of picture I wanted to talk about. I looked at cats and lightning, then I decided to look for something whimsical, and so I typed in "fairy tale" to the search line.

This picture spoke to me of a story waiting to be told. I don't know if the story will be scary or if it will turn into a gothic romance. But the picture of a castle hidden in the mists on the other side of a dark woods does lend itself to a fanciful tale.
