No, Lynn,
About a month ago my mac for digital work refused to turn on. I was in the mac store when it happened. They took it and tried to fix it. They couldn’t and sent it away to a center and they also failed and so I got a brand new computer this week. So it took time away from the work.
And now, I am back to the piece with lots to chose from. I am working with new software and that’s both exciting and bit slower, but it’s exciting. I got a great lesson yesterday.
When I saw the movie: Into the Wild, I got some great ideas about how you could use text and voice over and images. That’s my inspiration to make the piece unique.
That said, I have a nice chunk of time in June to get crackin’.
How does that sound?

Thanks, Bonnie. I do know about the Mac store training. Unfortunately the nearest Apple store is in Sacramento, 100 miles away. I’m still tempted to do it. I’ll see what I can do with Flickr this weekend. Maybe that will be my next challenge. Surely if I can figure out Tiny URL I can figure out flickr.
What is giving you problems with the TESOL/NWP piece? I hate to think that you are spending a huge amount of time on it. It was certainly not our intention to leave you with a huge burden after the fact!
Have a good weekend.

Here’s one suggestion. Do you live near an Apple store, Lynn? If you are shaking your head up and down, they have a great service for $100.00, you can get 52 hours(one a week), one-on-one lessons focused on everything/anything mac.
I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s great.
I would also suggest flickr.com for photo sharing and there’s a great way to create slide shows on your blog from there: flickrslidr
Hope this helps.
I’m battling my own computer challenges, like the TESOL/NWP digital piece.
