8/22/08 Ok, ok. I haven't finished cropping and snipping the pictures yet, but I'm already distracted. New knitting blog! Just because I really like this template and I want to use it - I've taken the knitting from the blogspot and started it up again over here. I've been doing lace and blankets, so I'll still get those pictures up, but I aspire to perfect my sockies.
8/18/08 Hello, crazy relatives!! Since everyone does have this address, I'm putting up a photo essay of the pictures from the reunion. They are saved on the computer, and I'm in the middle of cropping right now. But, I wanted to put up a note quickly that my favorite picture of the day is Emily singing to the fish from the bridge.
The first few pictures of the photo essay. If anyone wants to volunteer to label the Olsons, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll have to kidnap Grampa and make him help me.
1/26 I've finally had to buy a book about how to deal with Dreamweaver. I got the website to come up in Dreamweaver, but I still don't have how to change things. So, I've updated the homeschool site in Frontpage and at least got the newsletter online. I tried to work on the calendar, but the html doesn't work very well with xhtml, so I'm not going to fix up the old design. Just go on to the new one and then update things. It's all rather annoying.
So much easier to just to play in Ravelry. It's a craft community in beta testing that I'm really enjoying. It's inspired me to get all of my knitting into pictures. I'm not sure if I'm going to blog, or just put a scrapbook format on the main domain here. I might blog it so that people can add comments, even when I'm not sure of the timing of when I knit on it. Right now, I got inspired by the "Knit Kimono" book to try a long robe. The first try was a big smaller than I liked, so I'm actually knitting from the small kimono onto a larger version - so pictures are rather funny.
Anywho - the homeschool website is updated, the newsletter is going great things to Linda, and I'm learning Dreamweaver.
9/4 I've updated the program that I use to publish! It's still the same site, but at least *NOW* it'll publish correctly. I'll post what I'm up do as I run through the updates and get this back into some sort of semblence.
In other news - I've just read my preview and "Thank You" copy of Mary Griffith's new book "Viral Learning". <Double Snap> Fabulous job, Mary! I used my excitment to skim the whole thing in an hour. I promise that I'll give it a real read tonight, and actually think about what a good review would say.
Will's Video.
10/23 Since there is so much being scheduled, and my time is getting
crunched - I'm putting both November and December on the events calendar.
I usually don't publish until it's pretty - but there's *SO MUCH* going on at the parks that I'm putting it out NOW and will just keep
plugging away at making it look nicer.
Updated Event calendar.
8/8 I put together a web page for the local
homeschool group.
www.bemidjihs.com (update -
BemidjiHS now has free email addresses, and will be getting a calendar service
soon!)
The other big news is that I finally decided to go live with a
blog. I've had a few different ones, but they just weren't as all that as
they were plugged to be. Blogger finally caught up to what I wanted - so
the official address is
www.wierdkids.blogspot.com Feel free to comment, link, or just read
when you get bored.
If you liked Star Wars, you will love
Will's new movie!
Ok, so you may not love it, but it's still pretty cute. William with a
light saber, what could go wrong?
5/2 I condensed the "Books
about Autism" page into the best recommended and best sellers.
Make sure that you check out Leo's website for his documentary that he's been
filming for the last couple of years.
