Week 4...Thing 9

It turns out the delay with getting the MERLIN password was with the webmail account, not MERLIN.

I logged into it. I do not have much time now to work on exploring. But, I did browse through the Learning Links and I think that will be very helpful. I am attempting to gain some more information on gaming and gaming programing for teens. Hopefully this will help.

Week 4...Thing 9

I went to MERLIN. I looks like a really neat site. I am still waiting for my password to be sent to my email before I can login.

Week 4...Thing 8

RSS feeds. I have heard about these recently and honestly had no idea what they were. Now, that I have explored them a bit I think they are great. I was discussing RSS feeds with Michelle before I had a chance to look at them and she said I would love them. And I do. I have a couple websites that I like to go to everyday to read my horoscope and to catch up on news and celebrity gossip. Now, all these sites are in one place for me.

I first went to Bloglines and tried to set up a page there. Actually I did, and I did not love it. There is no specific reason why Bloglines did not capture my enthusiam, but I was not excited about it. Then, I went to Google Reader. I love this site!!! I did not have to set up a separate google account, which was nice. I added 3 feeds and they were really easy to look at and add.

I still have a lot more playing...I mean learning... to do with this Thing.
