Class Moved to Room PC LAB 207

Hello Gang!

I hope that everyone has been doing well.  I see that some of you have been working on including your pictures.  That is great!  If you haven't done so already, please do upload a picture of yourself into the profile set up.  I recommend that you use the same picture on all of your profile accounts (FB, Twitter, Blog, Communities).  Consistency helps build brand recognition.  If you HATE using your real picture, you can use an avatar.  There are a lot of websites that will help you design a custom avatar, my personal favorite is http://faceyourmanga.com/ (Yes it is free!  It is also very easy to use which is why I like it)

This is my manga avatar that my husband made up for me once. 

Hee-hee, this always makes me laugh, do you see the resemblance?  He was being nice, not making one that is wearing thick glasses, a sloppy pony tail and a sweatshirt which is what I usually wear! (Please refrain from making any mean comments that might hurt my feelings.)  Anyway, have fun playing around with it, but don't waste so much time that you don't get your work done!

Oh yeah, and the good news is that we were able to move into the slightly bigger room.  We will be in PC Lab 207 I' pretty sure that this is the room next to where we were last time.  I was warned that we may be short 1 computer so for those who prefer to bring their own laptop that would be great (I think it was Diane who told me she preferred to bring her lap top, so please do.)

Lastly, after our class, the next day, Facebook announced some new apps that will be available.  The one that I find interesting is this Timeline app where you can map-out your entire life!  Wow, is that too much information??  Read on for more info:   http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/09/facebook-wants-users-to-share-it-all.html

It's an exciting time with so much changing!  Looking forward to seeing everyone next week. 

Thanks!
