Technology can be Useful

[puppetmaker]

So this morning, after getting a reminder e-mail from my library, I renewed the books I want to hang onto for a little long from the libraries website.

After that I checked Amazon to see if any new puppetry books had been publishing along with checking to see if a couple of authors’ series that I follow are having any books coming out soon. I also did some other word searches and followed some of the suggestions of books I also might like.

I went to Google to look at pictures of Rabbit Faces for one of the projects I am working on and then to Instructables to see if someone had instructions to make something like something else I want to make. I found something close but not quite what I needed.

I caught up through Facebook, Live Journal, and Google Reader on a number of friends lives and a couple of professional sites I follow. I am happy that Runo, a Japanese Doll Maker, has checked in and she is fine.(Sidebar to MAB: She has a new bunny pattern that is just too cute). I stopped by the New York Times website to see what was going on in the world then to the BBC site to see the POV from England.

Later today I plan to use various machines to wash my dishes for me and my laundry. While they are doing that, I can do other things.

Today I am feeling very positive about technology and machines.

I am grateful for tech that helps rather than hinders.

Everyday, I think about how wonderful it is that I have a dishwasher and a washing machine. I know I miss the internet when I don't have it :) but the other two things save me SO MUCH time and energy. Glad you're having a productive day :)

Thanks for pointing out the new bunny pattern! I hadn't seen that yet. And I'm very glad to hear that Runo is okay.

Love the icon. I hadn't thought of an iOod before, and yet in hindsight, it's so obvious. :-)
