The Blind Leading the Blind

Well although I don't feel at all capable with all the technology I am about to help my fellow team mates.
Yes that means I think I have finished.
OK I skimmed - but the trick was to bookmark all those sites that I didn't have time to look at fully. Killed two birds with one stone. Practised bookmarking and got through 23 Things
Whats that you say - where's my My Space. Welllllll.....
Stay tuned

Thought I had created a picture but now can't find it. Will try again later when time is not so pressing to get to my twenty three things.

My Delicious Bookmark

What a delightful name for something I am still unsure of. But I have registered and also added a bookmark. Of course as I like to go for the easiest route I used the link to Story Corp I used in my post last night as my first bookmark.

Story Corp is an Oral History site of ordinary people, talking of ordinary things - but it is the ability to tell and retell our story that most aids our growth. The value of listening and telling cannot be emphasised enough in building and sustaining relationship.
Listen if you have a moment to Studs Terkel, the now deceased author talking on Vox Humana, the human voice.

So if you want more about stories and all things storytelling go to http://delicious.com/marilyn666

Stories to warm your heart

It seems so hard to keep this blog up to date - so much I want to add so little time. And I'm sure you have all heard me complain of the problems of trying to do this on dial up. Tonight I wanted to add a site I had breifly touched on but have not fully had a look. Getting is a problem, however, so is adding it as a blog . So instead I wuill cheat. Here it is - a link it's called StoryCorp. It promises to have some very heartwarming stories so corp http://www.storycorps.net/about.
Tomorrow I intend to look at it more fully as well as this one ... stay tuned!
