Christmas Tme

         On Christmas, as almost every family does, my family gets up early and we open our presents. We always have fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Then we head over to my Grandpa's. All of my dad's side of the family is there. We give each other gifts and have a holiday lunch. But a few days before Christmas my Mom's side of the family comes over for a Christmas dinner. There is also an exchanging of gifts. On Christmas eve we go to church with my Great-grandmother and then over to my great-uncle's house for another Christmas party.
         We repeat this process every year so it is all just one big tradition wrapped into one. I look forward to it all because I get to see all of my family in a span of 3-4 days, and I get a bunch of presents. Many other small family traditions are displayed in my house from always having our favorite candy in our stockings to having a fire in our fireplace at night. Our traditions don't change from year to year and I like it that way.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is putting bookmarks online instead of in your browser. The sites that you use to do this allows let other people see your bookmarks and it becomes social. I think it is very useful to anybody, especially people who use multiple computers throughout their day. I will use it to move my bookmarks back and forth from my home computer to my school computer and vice versa.

RSS Feed

 RSS feeds takes all the new posts from your subscribed blogs/news sites and summarizes them for you and puts them in an easy to read format. This tool is useful to everyone who owns a computer. This tool will be useful to me because I read a lot of different news sites and the RSS feed will put them all in one place and save me time.

Technology and Me


I use technology every day. I play Xbox with my friends, I use the computer for homework assignments, I use my iPod to play mobile games, text my friends, and to listen to music. I have two classes this trimester where I sit in front of a computer all hour. My life is filled with technology. I am using it almost all the time during a day, only not using it when I am swimming or in non-computer classes.
