Well, I still haven't bit the bullet and gotten Internet access at home. Don't know where to start with all of the things I "need"...Do I get a new phone, apps, Internet, wireless, Siruis XM radio, a camera, or what? Article on Technorati about a lot of students using the Wi-Fi at McDonald's. I don't see it in Bridgeton. I am usually the only one using it when I go. I thought this fact was interesting: " McDonalds have 12,000 Wi-Fi equipped locations across America, with Starbucks adding another 7,000. Combined they provide greater access to the Internet than the 15,000 Wi-Fi enabled public libraries in America."
Driving home from my class last night, I took a wrong turn and ended up in Millville. That is somewhat disturbing. I don't seem to recognize where I am in the dark, even when I know the way home. This is when I venture an hour or more away from home.
"60 apps in 60 minutes" was quite inspiring. Our instructor was a substitute but he was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. If he said "How cool is that" once, he said it 30 times. Of course, now I "need" and want apps...but will I really use them? It was inviting in a very librarian-like way. How could I NOT enjoy all these extra ways to find things out? Not sure I need a news aggregator or a personal magazine. I kind of like newspapers and magazines the way they are and the way I am using them. The music and photo apps were really cool, though. I can see myself using Shazam or Dropbox. And the "find your phone" app could come in handy.
