Treasures on the Internet

Many people who know me, say that I am an internet search wizard. I LOVE Google, and researching is one of my favorite things to do. I can find almost any bit of information on the internet, which amazes and can sometimes scare people. I love to look up history, news, science, people, etc. I can’t imagine where I might have ended up in life, if the internet that we know now, would have been available back when I was growing up.

This weeks interesting find is about free ebooks from Planet eBook. Most books available are from well known authors. Planet eBooks statement on their main page is…"All our literature is entirely free for you to download"; and of course I did. I downloaded Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Please feel free to check out this website and download your own book to read: http://www.planetebook.com/free-ebooks.asp

Another website I stumbled upon yesterday, looks very interesting too. So far it reminds me of Google on steroids, and I am very excited to do more exploring on this site. I will not give out this website just yet, BUT I have hinted as to what the name of it is in this blog. As soon as I have explored the site a little bit more, and made sure it is a legitimate website, I will let you know where to find it and give you feedback on what I think about the site.

I wanted to let my readers know that I am going to try and make an effort to publish more often. I know how disappointing it is to check back and find that there is nothing new published here; and the last thing I want to do is to let down my followers. So until then...Pax Vobiscum!

(Thats latin for anyone who wants to look it up and post the answer on my comments.) :D

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the
