Randomness

I have not written much this week. I'm not sure why, I guess I didn't think i had anything to say.

This morning I was contemplating what my post would be, and go figure! I have tons of random thoughts!


Facebook

I am so excited that so many of our friends and family are Facebook now!!! It is so fun to be able to catch up with people in the "virtual" world, and easier in some ways than e-mail. Welcome to you all! Only two people that regularly follow this blog haven't joined (you know who you are, though you don't know who each other is)... You're missing out!!!

We started and are co-administrators of the TNS Group , too. There are currently 88 members. Once membership reaches 100, Mike and I are giving away a guidebook to a randomly selected member. We're so close! Don't be afraid to join groups! You can easily protect your privacy by:

1. Choose Groups from the right sidebar of your FB page or the bottom of the page




2. Hold your mouse over Settings (but do not click), then choose Group Settings




3. Choose the radio button "Never publish any stories from Groups" on the Wall tab


a>


4. Click the Profile tab and choose which (if any) Friends List can see your Groups




5. Click Okay when finished.

Easy!





iPhone Stuff

NuevaSync

I know that not everyone has an iPhone, but if you do and you use Gmail calendars, NuevaSync is a must-have. It allows you to sync your Google Calendars to your iPhone using push technology (read it syncs automatically rather than manually). I even have my work calendar linked in.






The service is free, and no iPhone app involved. Just go the the website to sign up and set up your device.

Thanks for the heads-up, John!!!

Facebook App

I love the free Facebook app. I can access my account from anywhere and the format is clean and easy to navigate. It does not have all the features of the web version, but it is very fast.




Screenshots

One of the super cool things I learned how to do today was to take screenshots of my phone. It is as easy as pressing the Home button, then the Lock button and releasing both. The shot is taken as a PNG and stored to your camera roll. I used this functionality for all of the photos in today's blog. Awesome!!!



Weekend Plans

We've been a bit discombobulated this winter. The house is a mess, we're not keeping up on chores, we haven't even been skiing. So, we'll address one of those deficiencies by hitting the slopes tomorrow. I hope to get some photos so I can share them next week.

Have a wonderful happy Friday and weekend!
