Photoshop

Ha! Who knew? Just think how the "Flip horizontal" feature could have helped Picasso!

I don't think I'm going to be able to hold out much longer on buying a decent digital camera. On the other hand, the idea of manipulating some of my old photos is very appealing. I can do montages of pictures from my various trips to France, for example, to show to my students.

Learning to create a blog


This is amazingly quick to do. I'm afraid I'll have to tell my husband about it, and then he'll want to do a barbecue blog and then a beer-making blog and then...Well, anyway, it's fast, so as long as he remembers to unload the dishwasher first, he can blog all he wants.

"Enter your username and password in the spaces provided. Don't forget to click 'Finished' when you're done."

Okay, but see, when I click "Finished," I get the wheel of misfortune. You know, that little black and white pie-wedge wheel that spins and spins and spins...and finally times you out.

"Enter your password." Okay.
"Re-enter your password." Okay.

"Enter your password." Well, I already did this, but if you say so.
"Re-enter your password." Ditto.

"Enter your..." Oh, for Pete's sake. Lemme just reboot...
