Technology...new and old!

Well, tomorrow is the big First Day of School 2009! I must say that I'm kind of in a weird state. I'm not really nervous which is kind of making me nervous! :) I'm sure it's going to be a great day though, it always goes by really fast.

Anyway, I've learned some new things about technology this week that have opened up my world to a ton of new possibilities. My good friend, Deneise, was showing me her parent letter and I was absolutely amazed at the finished product. It seriously looked like something that was professionally published. Imagine my surprise when I found out that she did using a clip art BOOK! I didn't even know such a thing existed! I'm guessing you make a copy of what you want to add to your document and then tape it on there or something?? This piece of "old" technology is definitely something I want to know more about!

I was also introduced to another amazing Apple product this week! iChat is a program that runs on Mac computers that allows you to instant message or video conference with other people. It's basically the same as using a webcam but it's so cool the way iChat works! I was talking to my friend Meagan the other night and it was so cool because even though she's a thousand miles away it seemed like she was sitting in my living room! I see many more iChats in my future.

Here are a couple screen shots from the other night...



Happy First Day of School everyone!! :)
