Podcasts

I found 2 very interesting podcasts on "Whose We Are" by Foster McCurly. One about "Locks of Love", for which I have grown my hair, and the other that relates to Pakistan, and has a similar connection to Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea. You'll find them as 2nd and 4th Episodes:

It's great to watch animals and their antics. Check this out:

Having the entire Lancaster Library at my disposal has become even simpler. I've been borrowing audiobooks for a visually impaired friend. Now I can download them to a CD, and save gas!

Zoho

    This sounds like a good idea for people who are working on a project together.  I also like the idea that you don't have to have things in Richtext in order to be able to use different computers.  It will mean that a student could be working on a paper in school, and then go home and access his work to continue work at home.

Oyster Sue on Wheels

Check out my Plate from Image Chef. How do you think it will look on the back of this.

Wikipedia

I've used Wikipedia for years, but have never quite trusted it as a reliable resource. After all, it's not the "real" encyclopedia. I'd like some feedback on this. I just learned about using "Wikis" for group communication. I am trying to set up an account for my Relay for Life team, instead of always using emails.

Delicious Technorati

I enjoyed roaming through Delicious, and Technorati, looking at various subjects, and finding them with keywords. There is absolutely no reason anyone can say: “There’s nothing to do.” Not with all of this technology at our fingertips.

Be "E" informed

This is a fun way of being informed. I am even subscribed to Lancaster-online.

My Story

In the year of our Lord, 1553, a daughter was born to Master Alfred Suckle and his good his good wife Elizabeth. They lived in a thatch and wattle cottage, where they raised chickens and goats. The Suckle family grew in size with several lads and lasses. Susan, or as she was referred to as Honey, grew to be a well-respected young lady, and was a great boon to her mother, especially when caring for the nipperkins.
When she came of age she was betrothed to Charles Mackrel, a fisherman, and they were married. She bore him a son within the year. He was a hale and hearty lad. Thereafter she bore twin girls. Being with child, the mother of the later to be Lord High Governor, had taken notice that the children of Honey Suckle were so very healthy, and sought her out to be wet nurse to her firstborn, whom she named Marshall. Thereafter the Mackrels, had several more offspring, and later when Phineas was born to the Lawws, her services were once again required.
As the years passed, her family grew, and so did her many charges. She provided for many babes. Sir Henry Lee was among her many nurslings. At one time her services were requested by a member of the Hapsburg family. They took her back to Germany with them. During this time, as Charles was a seafaring man, he was off on various sailing vessels, plying his trade. All was well, until the time of the plague. At that time, all, save two of her boys were lost. Charles had sailed off on the Argosy, and had Marshall Laww not provided for his nanny, she would have been begging on the streets.
Later, when Marshall Laww ran off after a wench, and Charles had not returned, as she needed to fend for herself, her boys brought her oysters, and she began selling them, in front of “The Crown Jewels” shop, from beneath her umbrella, at the crossroads. Where one will hear her calling: “Oysters, buy me oysters: every oyster has a pearl, and every pearl will determine the destiny of the purchaser.” From thence she became known as “Oyster Sue”.
