If you are a crafter or know folks who are crafters, this will help them out later.

Miss Emma can Myspace
I had to share this photo. It looks like Emma can work on the computer. I think she was competing for my attention from the computer.
She is very good with the computer.

Philadephia Flower Show & Scrapblogging
I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show on Monday. There was so many cool things to see. And a great opportunity for amateur photographers like myself, to just go wild. I really go to see what my kodak digital camera can do. The last time I attended, two years ago, I was extremely disappointed in my pictures, but it was the camera. If you have trouble with indoor photography, try out a different camera. The newer cameras on the market make it easier to take nice pictures.
I also used the photos and played with scrapblog.com. I always wanted to scrap book, but I do not think I have the patience for it. Now, I really loved to develop multimedia and scrapblog reminds me of getting into a multimedia program without all the bells and whistles and share your photos. So, if you have a chance check it out and see if you can share your photos a different way.

Nike + Air
I started reading Shape Magazine and I have come across this on tv and on the Internet, but I am curious if anyone is using or running with the Nike + Air in your shoes, linking to your nano, & updating to the community on Nike?
I am very near getting on board, but am just curious. If I follow through and do this I will blog more on my experiences with it. I think in the next few months I may try it as the weather gets nicer and I can get outside and exercise more.

Issuu
Checking out Issuu today.
It is a site that allows you to upload PDF's that you create and share the "book" out. I will be playing with it a bit more and I will probably place a better review here.

Presidential Campaign Trail 2008
I think it is very interesting how the campaign trail is utilizing the web as an avenue on their campaign trail.
Here is an example on Youtube:

Zoho
I also learned about Zoho from the Crunchies. This seems to be along the lines of google tools.
It does allow you to collaborate and save on line. But it is an alternative to google and the microsoft suite of tools. I need to play with it more to learn more about it.
I will do this and if I learn more, I will share.
But if you need to collaborate on a project and do not want to use google, check out Zoho!

Hulu (Videos???)
I found a site, Hulu, and finally was invited to join. I am still navigating through it. But I created my profile and am creating my playlist. There are episodes of some shows and such here. I was not going to follow up, but they were recognized by Crunchies.
There seems to be a lot of current technology recognized by this.
Check it out. It does take about a week or more to be invited. I need to see if I can upload a video from my flip video to this. Or if it is just a site to view episodes from tv. I think sites like this is part of the reason the writers are on strike though. So, do you join or not.

Jacob Two-two
I came across this cute cartoon Saturday morning and it was about Jacob and his library. But it really hit points on information literacy, returning books on time, and volunteering. There were even Kung-fu librarians in it. It was just adorable.
If you come across this cartoon... Check it out!

Picnik - Gotta Love it!!!
I am just thrilled with some of the new features in the Picnik application that has beed added to Flickr. Look what I did with a photo I took of myself over the weekend. I guess I have turned into a take your own picture nerd. There was no one else around to snap the photo or photos, so I did it myself. Then after uploading the photo, I did some editing in Picnik.
Flickr was experiencing some hiccups today and I love that they used that terminology to explain why access to Flickr was limited. I am glad a site is finally honest and straight forward that there is a bump going on and be patient.
Last but not least, I came across an interesting article in yahoo
" Youth vs. adults in gadget wars" I feel like I can relate to this, but I think I also foster my mom to be open minded to technology. I helped my mom set up a myspace page and others her age ask me why my mom has a page and I just respond why not. So many folks address myspace based upon their ignorance to it. If you logged in and joined and gained an understanding, there would be a lot less misconceptions of the site along with other social networking sites and web 2.0 technologies and other gadgets! (Here is the article - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080122/ap_on_hi_te/technological_turf_war;_ylt=AocQ6X7Bz1P8AAxZVfW9x4UjtBAF )

Check out Picnik in Flickr!!!
I just discovered Picnik in Flickr. I post many of my pictures from Flickr directly into this blog, just so you know. I am a Pro user and now Pro users have been given access to Picnik, which is a basic editing tool. It is relatively easy and you can edit color, fix red eye, then also be a little creative and add cute images or frames to your photo.
Another cool feature is the statistics that you can access regarding your Flickr account. Which is found under You. When I ran my stats it did take a few days to process.
I hope you enjoy Flickr and some of the new cool features. I will be uploading some new photos this evening.

2007 Seasons Greatings!
While I am in Blogging kick, I just throught I would finally post and wish you all a Merry Christmas. Every year I torture my Emma, luckily, this shot was taken this past summer, but is so us. Emma watching for the birdie on our balcony just chillin' on my laptop waiting for the cell phone to ring.
I think it is a bit of modern meeting past. I put a sepia filter on and it just really looked cool in this card background. It gets easier every year. I print many of my pictures out using CVS and I was able to put this together and push it right to my favorite CVS on Paoli Pike!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I probably will not be on much until after the new year. Have a Safe One!

new video site I came across
I am a fan of youTube, but I am working on a presentation for an upcoming conference, which has not been accepted yet, but I need to be prepared. I came across ustream.tv. I will be playing around with this and seeing what I can do with it. As I find uses, I will share.
The flip video is fun, but I have not been able to create a dvd from my footage on my own. So, I am a bit frustrated with it.
And I did receive my new digital camera, but it came damaged, so I returned it right away and am patiently waiting for a new one to arrive, which will be a few days now, because of the lovely holiday yesterday.
Oh, there is also a weird hoax phone call prank that has hit my office. It has also hit other offices here. Someone calls the main number of the office and starts talking to the person who answers it, like they are their mother. They proceed to talk about falling down the steps and breaking their nose. Then the conversation moves on to getting hurt in another place and they talk about going to emergency on their own. They kept the person who answered on the phone for some time. She was ready to leave and go to check on her son, as well as the others who have received the call. I looked online to see if this prank is listed anywhere, but found nothing so far. The folks who were targeted here were upset and concerned about their children. If you have any links to this prank or what kind of prank this was, just share.

kodak megapixel camera
My new purchase. I have recently been looking at cameras and last night I came across this camera on QVC. And yes, I visited the site today and it was still available for a great price! It is a 12 megapixel camera and it has image stabilization. I do a lot of dancing and have been very upset that my current camera, an Olympus, can not capture movement without blurring and being gross. So, I am looking forward to testing this guy out. I was going to wait until spring and I hate purchasing something for myself so close to christmas, but I could not go wrong.
So, very soon I will be sharing pictures from a new camera both on my blog and in my flickr!!!

PSGV Pumpkin Contest 2007 - Library / Instructional Design
Penn State Great Valley Pumpkin Contest 2007 - Library / Instructional Design
Originally uploaded by kuljuls.
One thing I did learn from uploading my pictures is...
If you need to rotate photos in Flickr you have to log into Flickr using I.E. I am a Firefox user, so I could not figure out why it would not work, but stepped back and thought a bit and once I went in using I.E. it worked no problem.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

ABC's of Behavior
I am taking a class and this thought of ABC's of behavior is just sticking with me, so I thought I would share it out. (I adapted an illustration to share with you. I used PowerPoint 2007 and Photoshop CS3 to do this.)
I think everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions. If you do one thing (the antecedent), a behavior will happen, then you need to accept the consequence.
I think there are many problems in this world and if folks just think about this and take ownership of what they do and say, then the world will be a much better place to live in.
I guess you can relate this to technology and acquiring and adapting to new technologies.
An example can be blogging.
The antecedent will be writing something, the behavior can be blogging and thinking and sharing something way cool, and the consequence, may be someone thinking that this is cool and trying it or adapting some new technology into their field.
Some good uses of this model...
- Adaptation of new technology
- Training (like your children or dogs)
- Reshaping poor behavior
- Reshaping children's behavior in I.E.P's
