Celebrating the successful conclusion of my Quests!!!!!!! (click on photo for larger image)

END OF THE JOURNEY

Now that I have completed all my Quests I am wondering what to do with my blog? To keep it for posterity, or to destroy it? In virtual reality I could place it in a time capsule for some future generation or alien to this planet to discover. What would they think? What would they deduce of our species from my humble blog? Would it make any sense to them? One thing for sure, I had much fun, gained knowledge of technology I might otherwise not have, and hopefully I can share some of what I learned with those who wish to listen.

Meantime, this blog is dedicated to all at Tech Trek 2.0 and Charleston County Library who made it possible for me to dig a little deeper into our ever expanding brave new world. And now, the writer has left the building..................

PODCAST

Sorry, this was disappointing for me. I tried to find interesting book reviews, latest world news, information to help with projects, such as a school report on the life of Jane Austen......all to no avail. I browsed several podcasting sites but came up with obstacles each time. Either a search did not produce relevant information, it was not updated, or I couldn't activate it because I didn't have the right control. Of course, my computer is almost as old as I am, so maybe it was just too much for it, LOL! I guess podcasting could be useful for the young and restless (more stimulation), but I have no interest, nor do I think would the majority of our patrons. C'est la vie.

YOUTUBE

When I first explored this site I really believed it was going to be a tedious, frustrating, irritating, useless waste of my precious time. BUT, I happened to come across something, without too much effort, which would have been invaluable to me before my new life at the Library. For ten or more years before my move to Charleston in 2005, I was a very passionate tai chi instructor. The following video shows you what I taught. What an incredibly useful tool this video would have been for my students to watch in between their weekly classes with me! YOUTUBE definitely has alot to offer those who wish to learn a new skill or trade or need a visual reference tool. So, to all my 'groupies', who followed me faithfully and didn't give up their personal Quest for balance and harmony in life - you know who you are - this goes, with love, to you. Enjoy, thank you, and continue to have "fun, fun, fun, and if it's not fun, don't do it!"

TAI CHI 24

JUST BECAUSE

Think this is an orange day , raining outside , so I am as to what to do this morning. Maybe chase the dog that is eating my cat's food .........maybe that I have finally reached the end of Harry Potter.........(btw did I tell you I have seen the actual train that goes to Hogwarts in my home county Yorkshire in England?)...........or maybe have lunch with someone very special to me .......yes, definitely .

ADVERTISING

I like Bob Dylan. I don't like ads. Enough of them on my TV screen. Don't want, need, nor see any reason for them on my computer screen. Request to Tech trek : PLEASE no more ads, thank you!
