Apologies for the lack of boobs, an admission and a check to make sure all y’all didn’t do anything stupid on New Years Eve.
I hope everyone had fun this last day of aught-eight!
Keep an eye out for some cool things I have planned for ‘09 here at donburnside.com. I think it is going to be cool and I would bet you will too!
I was going to post this to Twitter, but I needed more than 140 characters.
So, I’m a guy. We all know this. And, as a guy, I like boobs. It’s pretty much a guy thing ladies, so get over it.
Anyway, I’m at the gym tonight at there is this woman there, maybe about my age, maybe a little older and she had the most ginormous boobs I think I have ever seen. Naturally, she was wearing the most ill fitting tank-top so that they were pouring out all over.
I really don’t need the distraction while I’m trying to keep my BPM up, ya know? Isn’t there a way you could cover that up? It’s not that I mind the boobs (we covered this already, right?), because I don’t. I just want to get my workout done without having to keep looking over to see if you are going to get a black eye from one of those hitting you in the face.
It’s almost the New Year so I think now would be a good time to check in.
The Technology Challenge
You remember this from late ‘07, right?
And, while you are making your new years resolutions this year, pick someone close to you and introduce them to something new to use the internet for. If they got a digital camera for Christmas, help them with a flickr account. Show them how RSS works and help them set up a Google account. Introduce them to Podcasting. Show them the wonders of Craiglist. Anything. Just pick one and try to make it happen. It’s time these people find out that the web is more than email and banking!
How’d you do?
Wait! Before you tell me how well you did, let’s see if you can beat me.
- Mom got a new digital camera (like mine) and flickr account. Ok, so there are only 2 photos, but it’s there and I will be getting her to use it more this coming year.
- Mom is an MMS sending fool. Sounds and photos from her camera to anyone in her contacts list on her phone. Oh, and she is even emailing them to herself on her phone.
- Grandad is now rockin’ a hot new computer with Office ‘07 and Vista. Sure this counts. Have you seen the changes from XP to Vista? From Office 2K to ‘07? From Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail? I totally get credit for this.
- I got Jeannie to turn her new laptop on!
- I got someone to switch from Windows to Mac. Verified.
- Fireball Tim started a blog.
So, I think I did pretty good.
I believe that 2009 is going to be the year for RSS for my users. I thought it might be the year of Twitter, but I think I’m going to continue to keep that to myself. Besides, Mom gets really frustrated when trying to send a text message.
Ok, your turn. Belly up. How did you get your users to use technology? Or did you fail? It’s ok, you can tell us, we are all friends here. Besides, someone might have a suggestion to get you started!
Christmas was pretty uneventful around these parts this year. But there was family stuff and good eats!
Me, doing what I do on Christmas, Thanksgiving and any other large family gathering.
As is standard practice at any family get together that envolves a large piece of meat, I am usually the one tasked with it’s cooking, it’s cutting/carving or both.
This year for Christmas, g’ma cooked up a very nice Prime Rib. I only had to cut it.
Almost looks like I know what I’m doing.
