Google instant is fun!

2010-09-08T11:01:00.000-07:00

So, google just launched their new thing, instant search. I was watching the event being streamed live on youtube, (Ok I think that's my new favorite thing live streams on youtube !) I was just playing with google instant and it's actually fun to play with, lol! I typed in instant c and it came up with instant camera, instant cash, or instant coffee! I was thinking of coffee! So, now google can play 20 questions and guess at what I'm searching for? Yay for that! I'm not sure why there's a link there, (most likely that only I can see, thanks to the not-so-good magic of that CSS trick,) that says, "screen reader users, click here to turn off instant." Why should I have to turn it off? I don't get it! It's like the fastest search I've ever done.

I'm going to try to post a few links I like each week. I love links! Links are fun. So, here it goes.

twtpick.in We all know I love to make lists right? Well, this lets you make lists using twitter!

twitter BFFS This finds the people you interact with most on twitter.

Twaudio This is lots and lots of fun! Record stuff and send it to twitter.

Suggest RSS I use this one a lot to find new RSS feeds.

I'm feeding delicious with these links and others. But these are the most fun ones!

2010-08-28T10:25:00.000-07:00

7 things I'd like to do to this blog.

Pick a new template, unfortunately I can't get the template designer to work for me, this is the only problem I've ever had with blogger.

Post links. Let's face it, I love links! Links are my friend! I'd like to post links to sites I discover. I need to set this up to post links on posterous, and then have posterous post them here.

Put an email subscriptions widget on. I have an RSS subscribe link, but not an email form.

Put one of those live traffic feed thingies on, because I like those!

Make a community with blog frog

Maybe put adsense on, that's always a question though. I'm not sure if it will work or not.

Promote Saturday 7 more!

Yesterday.

2010-08-27T07:43:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my friend from church, her boyfriend and I all went out on his boat. It was like a 2nd birthday thing for me. We also got to go swimming! After the boat ride, we came back to my friend's house and had a really, really big dinner! It was really flippin good! We had chicken borrito thingies with cheese and lettus and salsa in them, and potato salad and rice! We also had brownies and butterfinger ice cream for dessert. In a completely unrelated note, I can't get the delicious RSS feed thingy to work... why? I thought RSS and I were friends? What's up with that? I think I'm going to try to post links by hand to posterous every week, if I can get posterous to filter over here that would be cool!

It's my birthday.

2010-08-25T09:24:00.000-07:00

I'm turning 27 today. My family is taking me out to dinner tonight at Red Robin! I have a free birthday coupon thingy. Otherwise, I'm not doing much of anything today. Yeah, I know that sounds boring, LOL! Oh yeah, but I'm getting a cake from my family! Yay! I didn't get to have cake last year, so that's a good thing!

I'm back from camping.

2010-08-22T17:55:00.001-07:00

We had fun! We went rafting yesterday, and mom fell out! We were actually almost at the end of the trip, we were going through a small rapid, and there was a rock. As we were going over the rock, the people in the other raft went over ours. We had a little one, and my sister and my dad were in a big one, (there were 9 of us altogether.) They were trying to catch up with us to start a water fight, and noone saw the rock until the last second. Mom's fine, yay! We were getting to the end, and I decided to jump out of the raft into the water. The wind started blowing the raft into the side of the bridge, and we got stuck. I kicked behind the raft until we got to the end.

I'm going on a camping trip!

2010-08-19T13:58:00.000-07:00

My family and I are going camping this weekend. We leave tomorrow afternoon, (as in, around 3:30,) and we will be back on Sunday... or at least that's what I've been told twice now. We're going to be going rafting on Saturday. It's been a long time since I've gone camping, like since 2007. I get to sleep in my parent's trayler, yay! Most likely, I'll bring the laptop with me, I've never taken a laptop camping before! I've taken it many other places... but camping? nope!

2010-08-14T15:32:00.001-07:00

Cheese, and lots of it.

Laundry soap.

Ice cream.

Foil, because I'm almost out.

Trash bags.

Onions.

Here's a bonus one for ya, I forgot the sunscreen, oh well I'll get it when we go camping next weekend.

Of course I bought way more than 7 things! But that's just what I decided to put on the list.

Really, really late post!

2010-08-08T17:29:00.000-07:00

OK, so I said I was going to do this in a couple days... last weekend! What was I thinking? I have no idea! I had a lot of fun with blogathon last weekend! OK... probably too much fun, but whatever. Thanks to everyone who donated!

Linda

trisha from A novel friend

Thanks to everyone who asked and answered questions! As usual, I learned a few things:

Don't take Excedrine more than twice!

Don't attempt to do anything substantial on the day after, (especially pass things around!)

Dont sing in public at 4:00 in the morning... ever again!

After about 2:00 in the morning, there really isn't anything on TV.

We've come to the finish line!

2010-08-01T06:00:00.001-07:00

Wel, it's been a fun 24 hours for me! I asked and answered a lot of questions! Thanks to everyone who let me send them blank questions, thanks to everyone who left comments, and most importantly, thanks to those who donated! Well, I don't have much else to say! As soon as I hit publish it's off to bed for me. So, I'll post a full list of everything in the next couple days, actually I'm not sure when it will be, but I'm hoping it will be in the next couple days!

Summary post thingy.

2010-08-01T03:30:00.000-07:00

So yeah, we have about 2 and a half hours to go in this thing... that's if I'm counting correctly! My total is $85! Woohoo! I'd like to thank everyone who donated/pledged! I'll list them all... um... when I can get the links and such. I'm way passed my "woohoo!" point but I did have that a while ago! It was fun while it lasted. LOL, what's the woohoo point? Well, when I recorded myself singing and couldn't publish it because stupid twitter was down. And when I got all the word documents mixe up with the people who sent me documents... wait... they're still that way! I don't think I'll get those taken care of until I wake up!

Some more questions

2010-08-01T03:00:00.000-07:00

OK, this might be the last question post I do, I'm getting tired of answering questions! I'll try to put another one in before the end, but... yeah.

Do you often break plans? Break plans? No, in my family I usually make the plans!

What is more important, imagination or knowledge? I believe both are equally important.

What other windows or websites do you have open on your computer right now? Let's see... Actually, only 3! the questions one, this one, and JAWS which always has to be open.

Can you honestly say that nothing bothers you? Well, I can honestly say that not much shocks me anymore, but I wouldn't say that nothing bother's me.

Coffee made, and solving audio captchas at 2:15 in the morning.

2010-08-01T02:32:00.000-07:00

It was actually 2:12, and yes, I did solve an audio captcha. I know... I'm writing about captcha what's next... right? Well, I guess ya never know! I did make the instant coffee! I really like the taste of coffee, even though I don't drink it as often as I used to.

Questions again.

2010-08-01T01:33:00.000-07:00

What’s on your mouse pad? I'm not sure but I have 2 here.

What is your favorite flavor of coffee? I don't have a favorite flavor, but coffee sounds good right now!

Do you photograph well? Depends, if I'm doing something and having fun then yeah, if not and it's a staged picture then no.

What are you Dreading? Nothing right now!

Another list of questions and there answers.

2010-08-01T01:03:00.000-07:00

Which operating system(s) do you use? Why? I use Windows Vista, because it's the only working system I have here right now.

What would you do if you were stuck on dial-up? I wouldn't be up right now! Dial-up is way too slow for me to do anything with, and I can't imagine waiting and waiting and waiting for blogger to load, just so I can post one post!

What are you listening to right now? It's pretty much silent in here right now, just the sound of my ceiling and computer fans, and of course my screenreader.

Would you bungee jump? I have before, and I would most definitley like to do it again!

Questions again!

2010-08-01T00:31:00.000-07:00

OK, returning to the theme here.

Have you ever had a brush with death? Not that I remember.

What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie? What do you think that says about your personality? I really like Samoas! I also like those chocolate covered shortbread thingies... it seems my memory has gone completely out the window right now... LOL!

What is one animal you have always wanted as a pet and why? I've always wanted to have a horse. Why? because I love riding them, but yeah I know they're a lot to take care of.

Do you regret giving up any childhood hobbies and activities? No, not really.

What do you do when (you think) no one is looking? Well since I know noone is looking right now I just recorded myself singing, but twitter's down so the site I used to record it can't send, and it was really flippin bad!

Um... I shouldn't have hit publish so early!

Passing word documents and making room in my fridge for my pizza.

2010-08-01T00:03:00.000-07:00

OK, we have this homework for our class where we each write a word document, then send it to someone. that person sends it to someone else, and it's passed all around among the 5 of us, when it has 4 comments on it, (everyone except the writer's,) it gets sent to the instructor. I was working on this yesterday, and preparing for blogathon at the same time... well it's 12:05 in the morning, and I'm still receiving emails with documents in them. Now I don't remember who's I've sent to who, and it's all getting mixxed up, OK, maybe its because I've stayed up a bit too late? Oh yeah, I have this really small fridge, I had to take some bottles of water out to make room for my pizza!
