I am just about done with Nancy Gordon and The Gordon Group, LLC’s (Nancy…you’re the expert and I hope I got the punctuation correct) website.  We launched yesterday and her first post on the re-launched site was a very nice thank you and referral to me.

It is so nice when people do say Thank You.  I still working on a little blog piece on all the games on Facebook but one thing for sure is that most of the games made me feel is good about all the “thanks” and the “rewards” and the “collecting the money” and visiting “your friends” or “neighbors”.  Real life doesn’t always give you that “warm and fuzzy” feeling so it’s can feel really nice to get it someplace, even if it’s virtually.

On that note, do check out The Gordon Group, LLC at www.thegordongroupllc.com.

Sometimes I feel (and sound) like I have a “hard-on” (figuratively speaking) for Google.  I gush about Chrome, well because I do really favor it as my current “flavor of browser” right now although I am known to take booty calls from my ex, Firefox.  And IE, Internet Explorer, is like my ex-husband, I just want to run it over with a Range Rover and unfortunately I just can’t get away from and I still have to deal with IE constantly when designing.

I am very excited about the potential of Google’s OS and even though I haven’t made the jump to Windows 7 (I cower like a puppy that’s been beaten when thinking about new Windows releases), I have been hearing good things (read “Windows 7 Reaches 10 Perfect Market Share“).

Spotted on the Chronium site are concept images of a potential Google Tablet.

I love my little Acer Aspire One but I also like lots and lots and lots of screens (I still want my Triple-Screens) but the multi screen laptop apparently is coming.  GScreen’s Dual-Screen Spacebook they expect to weigh at least 12 pounds and is built around the 15.4 inch screen and its twin, identically sized screen slides out from behind the first using a uniquely designed sliding mechanism.  I guess IBM already has one but it’s just a 10″ addition, which you would think would make any girl happy…but NOT ME!

Not very pretty is it?

Slideroll Online Slideshows

Slideshow at Slideroll – Flash Slideshow Creator, Photo Slideshows for MySpace, YouTube, and Everywhere! is a pretty cool tool.  They also have some additional tools, Slideroll gallery AV software for making flsh photo and video galleries and Slideroll Video Creator that turns your slideshows into video for CDs or DVD projects.

This is a pretty neat tool and resource for making quick embeddable slideshows for the web.  Everything from music, to transitions, etc.

There is a member gallery page with comments and sharing options.

I decided not to waste money on cable when I moved this past summer and I don’t miss it.  I found that I can barely watch regular TV now that I only watch online and I have a tendency to want to watch regular series programs like a movie…all continuous.  I never saw “24″ so I watched all three seasons during the holidays while I was working and now I’ watching Dexter.  I have my two monitors hooked up to my desktop for work and then I have my laptop hooked up into my old 19″ that’s on my nightstand where I watch so it’s actually a nice set up.

I do pay for Megavideo because the there aren’t any ads and the quality and streaming is usually pretty good but I am usually routed there by SurftheChannel.com and sometimes they have these annoying video ads.  My desktop’s pop up and anti-virus seems to prevent a lot of them but my laptop’s protection is set up different (not to self…figure that out).  You can be watching something and then all of the sudden in the background you can hear one of those “I make money on Google” or some “Muselix” ad which is just wrong.

I think Cable TV should just go away (personally) but I also have no idea why they still print Phonebooks.
