Please let me know how you do? Me & My Computer - Blog Entry25 Jul 2007 11:57 AM Oh, I wish I had mine. But it was destroyed during a flood of our apartment, so my parents threw it out. I didn't even know they'd tossed it (by that time I was on a PC), but I remember using floppies to do everything because there was no hard drive and how much I loved the freedom that first computer gave me. Do You Have IT? - Blog Entry23 Jul 2007 05:38 AM LOL - Not really, I'm a fast reader. I finished it Saturday evening at 7. I'll be posting a review to Media Reviews later today, so be sure to check it out. (Oh and I got my copy at 9 a.m. and finished it by 7) and that was in and around doing things in the house and with my daughter. The hardest part was running her to an activity at 6:30 when I was just 45 pages from the end! Do You Have IT? - Blog Entry21 Jul 2007 02:27 PM I'm on page 507, I'll let you know what I think of it later! Harry Potter Mania - Blog Entry19 Jul 2007 08:41 PM Oh yes, I'm more excited by the books than by the movies. Our copies will be here Saturday morning (our bookseller is honoring their agreement) and I am looking forward to it. It's a wonderful series. One Hit Wonders - Blog Entry12 Jul 2007 07:11 AM I think American Pie refers to the American Dream -- in the case of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens -- their death was the death of their music and their American Dream -- but that's how I've always heard it. A Story About Kai (Part II) - Blog Entry06 Jul 2007 07:02 PM He's fantastic. He survived a bout with heart worms and he's gained back his weight. He's actually developed into quite the member of the family and he's very loving and likes to come up to snuggle and hug. Thanks for asking. Do Video Games Affect Schoolwork? A New Study Says Yes - Blog Entry06 Jul 2007 12:04 PM Oddly enough, when my daughter was a baby and toddler -- the only toys she had that were 'noisemakers' or 'interactive' was a Mozart cube that she still plays with. It plays classical music depending on which of the big buttons you hit on it and she loved it. All of her other toys required her own imagination to play with whether they were stuffed animals, baby dolls or blocks. She was given a Nintendo Gameboy when she was 4 and the first time she actually did anything with it is this summer -- she plays it maybe an hour or two tops every week. Her favorite pasttime with me is books, writing, crafts or playing board games together -- I don't even 'relax' in front of computers anymore because so much of my work is done in front of one. Do Video Games Affect Schoolwork? A New Study Says Yes - Blog Entry05 Jul 2007 01:55 PM Yes and no. Video games are very much like toys. What they see on the surface is just pure fun, but if you were to ask my nephew how long is he allowed to play video games when he is at my house, he'd tell you -- an hour as long as he is behaving and not treating others badly because of it. The flip side, is that there are video games out there that are very educational -- my daughter can play all the word find and fill in the unscrambled letter games she wants -- but she usually only plays for 30 minutes before she moves on to another activity and she prefers reading and drawing to the games. Do Video Games Affect Schoolwork? A New Study Says Yes - Blog Entry05 Jul 2007 11:44 AM I think with everything, moderation is the key. It's not the technology that's evil, it's how much we let them play without teaching them self-control and diversity. There's just so many options out there. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 |
