Making your bed...

I have been trying to teach my three year old the importance of responsibility. I have been teaching him things like picking up after himself, putting his clothes away, and making his bed. Yesterday October 30th 2011 will forever be a delightful memory. After picking up his clothes and blankets, I asked him to make his bed. A little while later I asked "did you make it right?" He responded "no mama I made it left." As me and my husband sat laughing, my three year old said "mama I made it left okay." I said "okay" between chuckles.

How technology has changed my life...

<p>From smartphones to Skype my life has been forever impacted. I use my Droid everyday to search the internet, email, read the Bible and playgames. Whoever invented the smartphone was/is a genius and I am greatful that you invented it. The same goes with Skype I am greatful for you inventing it. A few years ago I had the chance of a lifetime to go to Thailand and China. I used a payphone once twice but most of the time I used Skype and it was such a blessing.

My hobbies

I love to cook. I attended culinary all four years of high-school and competed Evey chance I had. I also love coffee. I was a Batista for five years and loved every second of it. Now my hobbies consist of cleaning, laundry, doing dishes, and changing diapers lol. I love being a mom. I never knew it was so hard. However I would trade it for anything.

Technology...

 Find a technology article on slashdot.com (or a similar site) and write a paragraph on it.


The Amazon Locker...?




http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/13/8305718-mysterious-amazon-locker-system-live-in-seattle-nyc 


Amazon is a very interesting company to begin with. Like Apple and Google, Amazon has created an online shopping and exploring experience. It always amazes me at what the new invention of the week is. This week its Amazon Lockers. What are they you might be asking. They are essentially a PO BOX just with out the fee and PO part.
According to the article Amazon has not yet decided to really go all out with their locker system. They are just in testing mode only found in Seattle and New York thus far. So how it works is you order something off their site and depending on where you are located you can choose to have it shipped to a Amazon Locker near you which are conveniently located in random stores that we already use on a regular basis. How sweet is that. Its essentially Amazon turned FedEx. If you would like more information please use the attached link and you will find the article with a video too. What are your thoughts?

CIS120 @ COCC

 For the next weeks you must create one entry that includes your thoughts about class, homework, content or process that you liked, ideas for improvements, etc. This is freeform so use it like a journal.




I like the CIS120 class. It is very informative. Before taking the class I thought I knew computers for the most part, but I have come to find out that I really don't know as much as I thought I did. Its hard to keep up with any of my classes due to having a new baby and a 3 year old. I can barely keep my head above water. One thing that I really like about the class is how straight forward the assignments are. At times it seems like there is to much homework to keep up with but when I finally get a chance to sit down and focus on what needs to be done it goes by fast and I sit back wondering why I was so overwhelmed by thinking about doing the work. One thing that I would improve is the class set up. I like how Liberty University does their online classes. No matter what class you take the set up is all the same. Every class literally looks the same. Its organized and neat, simple to navigate. With COCC not so much. It is very confusing going from one class to the next because every class looks different. The assignments are found in random folders (mainly my health class is like this), its very confusing to say the least. Well thats all I have to say right now... (baby calls)
