Week 2 - What's Up Doc?

I have never used (let alone heard of) Google Docs before now. I have to say it looks like a really nifty "suite of tools" to use! I like it better than a Wiki, probably because it's so similar to Word, and that's what I'm used to. The format is easy to create and edit, and I think it lends itself to group use very easily. I might even be tempted to create a spreadsheet using G-Docs, something I've never even been interested in trying to do! How's that for progress??!!

I went into the ppsemester2 docs and was tickled at how many experimented with colors, fonts, pics, etc. I then went into the Garden spreadsheet and added Nikko Blue Hydrangeas under shrubs - really easy to use! I plan to go back in and create my own doc and spreadsheet, just for kicks. Yes, being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century....HA!

I also want to go back in and look at that slideshow - do you download your own personal pics, or can you load something from Google pics/other sites, like the Flickr assignment? I hope to do that later, after my crazy kid and his friends GET OFF THE COMPUTER - doncha love No School Days??? NOT!!!!!

Yes, I'm learning and playing and fearing a little less today!!

Week 1 - Welcome

Welcome to the first entry in Jill's Jems! I haven't a clue as to what I'll be posting about, so bear with me as I figure out what to share.

I love wordplay, so I'll post three funny signs that have been spotted at businesses:

In a Veterinarian's waiting room: "Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"

At a Towing company: "We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows."

At the Electric Company: "We would be delighted if you send in your payment. However, if you don't, you will be."

And that's enough for today!
