Today's "E" word is very appropriate being that I spent most of my day and all of my evening Edit(ing).
I was just about to start sharing with you that all I have been doing all day is working on my blog. I have been taking my time building my website, transferring my younger (smaller) blog ... I finally went WordPress. ( on one blog anyway.) Boy oh boy!
However, as I started thinking about it, Edit(ing) is not just for programming, graphic design or even word processors anymore. I remember once, when I lived in Los Angeles.. of course (can you hear the snooty-ness? lol,) someone that I had been talking to in line at Starbuck's used the word for "cleaning"... as in ... I was just off to edit my desk... Edit my desk? I thought, hmmm. Interesting. (now keep in mind that I was in Venice Beach at the time.) I sat there and thought for a moment... I got it! I said out loud, and found that the entire Starbuck's had turned around to look at me. What do I do? Laugh. What else could I have done? There was no way out of this one, not this time. It's amazing to me how technology has come about in the last thirty years, and to have witnessed it all... way cool! I remember my father's computer store we had in the mid 80s... let me tell you, computers have come a long way since then. First time I laid eyes on and used Windows, it was version 3.1 (1992), before then we used DOS based programs that were basic menus. Today I barely remember a few basic DOS commands... (with me, it's use it or loose it, when it comes to retaining information.) Then slowly, the internet started coming about.
Then technology made it possible for us to be able to send e-mail (ooooo, I almost let this one get by.. lol ooo ooo "E" word) more or less instantly... there is something to be said about a more personal touch. With that said, I could not live without either one of them! (btw e personal touch, is now found in my work)
**something you may not know about me- I have a knack with graphic design/photo editing software like Photoshop, paint.net and can create a ton with MS Office Publisher! (actually, I'm a wiz at Microsoft products.)
Appropriately so, the letter "E" was brought to you by the words e-mail and Edit(ing) ... Which without, where would Blogging be?
Bill Gates is a very rich man today... and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions. ~Dave Barry
I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in. ~Bill Gates
Blessings to all!!
