I have off today and we are having a bit of a lazy morning (me, my stepson Collin who is on his spring break, my dog Chance and my "niece" Harlow --we're taking care of her while Ash and Andria are performing in Telluride and Crested Butte) ......I thought I would take advantage of Collin's technical expertise (he was practically born carrying a laptop) since he was here. I felt certain he would know everything there is to know about his picture phone (my cell is bland and basic ....no camera, people ....just the bare necessities) ......turns out he needed my technical help ....good luck there!! .....but I was pretty certain you can just enter an email address instead of a phone number and send the photos off. That is in fact the case. .....Modern technology is very frustrating at times, but quite an amazing thing. ....So it appears this is the morning (or should I say afternoon now at this point) of figuring out how to operate devices capable of taking, downloading, and sharing data --mainly photos, as that is in part the purpose of this blog. Here's a few more from the cell phone (this was once technology only thought possible on The Jetsons ....we've finally arrived):
Lulu (Harlow), the fur pig, lounging ........cute, cute
....and I've managed to accomplish uncovering the mystery of my laptop Webcam today ....I've had my computer since December, but have never tried using it. Once again, I thought I would elicit information from Collin ...I'm certain HE knows how to use this thing. Collin, you're disappointing me today, Sudoku King!! ....He knew how to take the photos, but not how to download them from there or move them to any folders, etc. ...I'm pretty proud of myself as I figured it out entirely on my own.
Not bad for a non-techie ....at least I don't really consider myself one, even though I've sold high-tech data analysis software in the past and satellite imagery to defense and intel (not sure how I got on that path exactly) ...Now I'm doing what I love working for an architecture and design firm after making the decision a few years ago to go back to school for a second bachelor's in interior design with an emphasis in sustainable design. It was unbelievably grueling, put well worth it (more to come on that as well as my husband's field of hydrogeology.....he's a PhD brainiac .....really.....I don't understand half of what he's published....) .....Well, time to shut down as I need to get in some treadmill time and a walk with the doggies this afternoon before my honey and I celebrate our anniversary tonight!!
