January E-books

I think I could live very happily without e-books. My personal tastes are not the point, of course, although they are very precious to me. The sites I visited would be useful to those interested in these things, especially the compatible devices section. I will endeavor to remember this info in case someone asks me. I'm an old-fashioned type of dame, and prefer my books to be books, which seems much easier to me. I did download Northanger Abbey onto the call center computer. It's a very funny book, even for non-Austen-ites.

Twenty-three and sayonara

Sayonara means good-bye, chums. Been swell, gotta go. I liked reading all of your posts, peering into the dark, fetid recesses of your brains, etc. Of all the tasks, I liked the Weebly experience for the brief, self-indulgent interlude of Mamie-dom.

Twenty-two

Tastespotting was great and I loved the pictures, although my food probably wouldn't look that good. I like Arts and Letters Daily, which, according to its masthead, delves into "philosophy, aesthetics, literature, language, ideas, criticism, culture", etc. You get the idea--just right for pseudo-intellectuals like me. Slate is another one I like, full of pinko liberal ideas, and also fun stuff like blogs on Mad Men episodes.

Twenty-one

This task was fun. Here's my neon-ized flamingo picture.

Twenty

I've used the city and county sites before. I tried to find my address on the Assessors page, but I suffered from puzzlement at the resulting generic map. I did find useful info on H1N1 vaccinations and I looked at the Animal Services page-they're getting a new facility soon. Yay for them. The State of Colorado site was well organized and easy to use-I found the sex offenders map for my neighborhood and the contact information for elected officials.

Nineteen

100%--twas easy-cheesy, friends. The hints were ever so helpful, of course. And now, a debonair, yet menacing picture of my favorite horror star, Boris Karloff. Don't confuse him with the wretched and hammy Bela Lugosi (at right).

Eighteen

TinyURL was easy--here's a link to the library catalog for one of my favorite books--http://tinyurl.com/yf9ankm. Then I Zamzar-ed a Cary Grant YouTube video and put it on the desktop in the call center. That may not be the intended or optimal use for Zamzar, but I'm an unsophisticated wretch and that's the best I could do.
