WII Fitness (9/16)

I found the article regarding the WWI Fitness Gyms very intriging. I think that investing into a WII for entertainment and using it primarily for the fitness aspects is actually a really cool idea. I'm actually considering purchasing one as it would certainly make it easier to exercise and wow...make exercising fun...no way! I think it would definately help to modivate induviduals to start and since that is the hardest part of exercising and to branch out with and without the assistance of the WII after getting started.

3.0 Wow! (8/19 & 9/2)

Google....3.0...where will it all end, that's the point it won't. I'm not all that computer literate, but wow, I'm impressed. It doesn't matter that we aren't getting a prize of sorts for doing this course, cause we are actually getting more in the long run. I find myself redoing some of the sections, just so I can fully understand or at least try to understand. It's so much to take in. I'm also finding in incredibly fun and interesting! Wow, who would have guessed it!

2.1

Well, I found my blog and boy that was a little bit of a challenge, but interesting. Now if only I could see my name in the list of course participants, it would make me feel really great, since I've done what I was suppose to and even emailed Tom with my blog address and yet still I feel like I've forgotten something....but what? I hope to get much better at this blogging as well as learn some new ways to stay healthy. The: Wii sounds like a great idea!

Here's To Gary

Well, I can't beleive it, I finished, WOW!



Anyway, I'm going to be giving my new MP3 Player to my brother, Gary for his birthday, July 8th. My girls and I already have MP3's and IPOD's, but my brother can't afford to spend his hard earned money on such things, so I did this course for myself to learn more about what's out there and for my brother, Gary. My brother is a hard working individual that makes do with what he has. He doesn't spend his money foolishly or on impulse. Gary is a great guy and brother and we have always been close to each other. When my brother was about 6 years old, he fell from the shoulders of one of my sisters, he almost died. He cracked open the back of his head and had to have surgery. The doctors told my mom that Gary won't be the same high spirted and smart child she had known for those six years, but that he would probably be a little "slow" and may have trouble learning. Gary was the only son at the time among three sister's, so this was very heart felt to our parents. Gary had it a bit rougher than the rest of us and was in special classes to help him learn and some actually thought he was the ideal person to pick on at school. I stood by my brother for everything and tried to help whenever possible. When my mom passed away some years ago the rest of our family thought my brother would never make it on his own.My brother became homeless when I was living in another state and I couldn't reach him, some family members knew, but won't tell me. I just kept calling everyone then I finally found out he was living in a box in a parking lot. I helped him get back on his feet and helped him get an apartment and he got a job. Well, now he is a man and a good one at that and has had a life I won't wish on anyone. He has a full time job and a house and works very hard to keep it. He has actually without knowing it so much, proved those who doubted his abilities...wrong. My brother is a great, wonderful and caring man and is very dear to my daughters and myself and giving him this MP3 after my girls load it with the music he loves doesn't begin to express just how proud of him I am! So "Here's To Gary" the greatest brother ever!

Yes, finally #9

I enjoyed Liveplasma as well as Musicmap as I found them easy to use as well as useful for finding my music. I didn't care for upto11! I didn't know that Martin Barre would be simular to Jethro Tull, very cool. Media should be offered with pay as you use rights. Oh yeah, Library Musical, good and funny.
