So my grandson Silas came into my room/office and told me about this fun way to make art. It wasn’t exactly something he was taking very seriously as we started playing around with several websites, we became rather silly as to some of the outcomes that would happen. You see,...
Line Rider is an internet game, with versions available for Microsoft Silverlight, Javascript, Windows, and Flash. It was originally created in September 2006 by Boštjan ?adež, a Slovenian student. Soon after its initial appearance on DeviantArt, Line Rider became an internet phenomenon. Wikipedia What do you do after a two...
Thanks to an ad on Facebook, I have discovered an app that enhances photos, but the main feature that attracted me was the face animator. The examples given were of old photos bringing past presidents or famous people in the past, to life, with smiles and the eyes blinking. I...
So I arrive in Australia, ready to relax some, as the last 8 months have been grueling. I figure, I will play some on my game, work when it comes in, and enjoy restful weekends with John. That was not to be the plan, his computer started to have problems...
Even though it’s hard to say what is normal these days…I know I qualify as not being a normal Nana. As mentioned in another post, I let Silas and Rubi create their own World of Warcraft toons. What has been interesting to see is how it has manifested into everyday...
While some Nanas are happy and busy reading fairy tales to their grandchildren, and it’s something I support and enjoy completely, however, I guess you can say I am no ordinary Nana. They sit on my lap or in the chair next to me while we have adventures on World...
I had no idea what had happened, I was engulfed by fire… So there I was in World of Warcraft, minding my own business, doing my quests like a good little Beastmaster Hunter, when all of the sudden, the sky went dark and red, and fire rained down on me...
The invitation came. I about cringed at the thought. How can I manage to fit something like that in my busy schedule? I can’t do it, I immediately thought. These things are addicting and just over my head. I will stink at it. This is so unlike me, I couldn’t…...
These days, since so much of our lives is spent online, I have often wondered, what happens to my websites after I die? I’d certainly like my blog, which serves as memories for my family and loved ones to remain online for them as long as possible. After that, I...
You have files listed in your folder, shouldn’t you be able to print them? Back in Windows 98 and XP days, I used a program called PrintFolder and I was very happy with it. Today, using my Windows 7 computer, and looking over what Christmas music I have, I was...
The house is busy and full of people. Often times my room is the location people flock to. When found that I needed another computer, it left me with three computers and one desk. Which is a problem. I have looked at countless sites for desks and even thought of...
It has been (and still is) a journey with my new computer. Not only have I had to learn how to use a laptop and get used to those differences, I have also had to learn Windows Vista. On first glance, Vista looked like a system for people who just...
One of my members at Unique Exposures, (Brub) suggested that I do a podcast. When he suggested it, he might have well said, “Phone Mars.” I just didn’t even know how to begin. It has been a while since he made that suggestion, and after a lot of educating myself, downloading...
I know my computer is getting older, but lately, it sure has been doing some confusing things. The most confusing has been when I tried to delete some emails (both read and unread) nothing would happen. Considering I get around 2000 emails a day, this put me in a near...
Inventions…and interested in seeing what was the latest cool gadget out there, I was curious to see what the ‘Innovation of the Year’ was – the grand prize of all new products out there. I was surprised when I got the page and saw… a nail. But it’s not just...
Laura borrowed my camera last night and after a session with it, she downloaded the photos to her laptop in her usual fashion, then came to my room to put the camera and everything away. Not long after that, I heard a little panic from her room, “Where did my...
Sim City 4 Deluxe It was my son Enric who got me started with Sim City. Our first experience with it was with an edition of Sim CIty that came pre-installed on our computer. (That was like 4 or 5 computers ago). We were going through the games one day...
Miquel vs. Playstation My son Miquel is quite an athlete. Ever since I can remember, he could pick up, kick, smash, toss, any ball, paddle, racquet, bat, and Frisbee and do it with God given natural abilities. He always looked like one of those “naturals’ you hear spoke of. He...
