I'm a retired research associate from UC San Diego and am mostly homebound now. I love Mac computers and OS X, horses, nature, photography, reading, and the Internet.
Four paraplegic kids got the chance to leave their wheelchairs on earth as they floated free in a zero-gravity environment. What an exhilarating sense of freedom they must have felt! This article tells the warm and fuzzy story. Also, "Nick News with Linda Ellerbee: The View From My Chair" premieres next Sunday, 16 Nov, at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
Twin moose babies romp and play in a backyard sprinkler while their mama watches over them. Very cute! If the music isn't your cup of tea, then by all means mute the sound while you enjoy the video.
Aptera, which is Greek for "wingless flight," is a very futuristic and cool looking motor vehicle. It will be available soon for purchase in two models: an all electric model and a plug-in hybrid, both of which get fantastic fuel efficiency. The more I learn about them, the more I want one!
LiveJournal (nickname LJ) is a virtual community where users can keep an online journal (aka blog, diary). There is both a free and a paid membership level. LJ offers flexible privacy controls, photo storage, publishing tools, numerous free style templates to choose from, and the ability to join virtual communities of other LJers with similar interests.
Twitter is a type of microblog, a way of communicating with family, friends, colleagues, and other Twitterers in short posts that are allowed to be a maximum length of 140 characters. Twitter does have its little service glitches at times, usually because too many people are trying to use it at the same time! However, their service problems aren't really all that frequent or long lasting. The service is free; and it's fun and easy to use.
How could I have taken so long to fave Amazon? Sheesh, Amazon is my most favorite place to do online shopping, which is very convenient and easy there. They have a large selection of items for sale at reasonable prices, great shipping service, and great customer service.
I like them
