Blue-Ray, Blue-Tooth, Blue-Man-Group
By Tech Editor Jean
What are all these blue things I keep hearing people talking about? There are a lot of things that are either blue this or blue that. Take for instance the blue-tooth technology and things of this nature. What is that anyway? Does it magically help do the taxes? Does it take the dog for a walk around the block? Then what good could it possibly be? Then there is Blue-Ray? Ok, at least I have got some idea what this is. But why even have it? Why would you want to replace the DVD player that’s been around 10 years tops? We just got a DVD player a few years ago and it works perfectly fine. DVD’s color and picture are just fine for me. And what about the-Blue-Man Group? What’s that all about anyway. Are those guys nuts or what? Ok, I give up, I have no idea.
Google Earth
Yet another good (free) product from Google Inc. is Google Earth. This intuitive tool presents satellite images by mapping them on a virtual Earth. You navigate the Earth by zooming in and out and grabbing and dragging. Not all the Earth is filled in with ultra-high resolution photos but some very important parts already are. It’s surprising to see your house as plain as day. I’ve heard of various groups doing census counts of animals using google Earth and other things such as this. Google Earth can be downloaded at http://earth.google.com/ Here are some examples of the goodies you can find on Google Earth :

You know, there’s a lot of people out there offering to be this or that for you. They need some kind of structured forum for which to state their case. Sorry AJ, I need to get a life sometimes, but this is what makes it sooo sweet.
Brandy Freaks Out!
I uploaded my first movie to YouTube today. Brandy our dog gets very excited whenever we bring out some little remote controlled cars that we got for Christmas. This video is her freaking out over these little mechanical creatures.
