Twittering

Actually, twitter is this cool new way to send a quick message to people. You're only allowed up to 140 characters. Give it a try @ twitter.com--my address is twitter.com/cbauermeister (creative, I know).

Living in the digital former Soviet republics

So I just returned from NETA (Nebraska Educational Technology Association), & even though I'm finally making a commitment to a blog, I'm living in the digital version of the former Soviet states. Wow...I don't Twitter (well, I do now, but I didn't before), I don't socially network (hardly have time for live people some days), and I don't watch TV shows on the internet.

BUT, I do lots of other stuff, just ask me! Anyway, I'm working to finish up requisitions for next year along with getting mini tech work days set up for the summer. I'm planning to do something with Google apps and a sort of playground of stuff they offer. Actually, in researching tonight, I found out you can text questions directly to Google (466453). Say for instance you want to know the score of the latest Cubs game, just text 'score cubs' to Google & a response will be returned in about 30 seconds. Now, don't do this if you don't have free text messaging, but if you do, ask away. I threw out some odd questions & all answers were provided. How cool. (Well, at least in a techie geeky world!)

Yours truly, trying to cross the digital divide...Crys

Thanks

I'd like to say thanks to those friends we have that are kind enough to let us live vicariously thorough their lives & blogs. I've decided that I will commit to updating this periodically. Who knows, maybe I'll even add pics & video soon.

Prom 2008

After reading all the cool things our friends do, Josh & I REALLY lead a boring life. However, we did have the pleasure again this year of sponsoring prom. Actually Josh would like to state for the record that he does not sponsor prom, but it's part of the wedding vows (you know "for worse"). We had a picture taken by the photographer, so when I get it, I'll upload the pic. Until then, you'll have to settle for the pics of the decorations in the slideshow.

Decorating was all done in one afternoon this year, but life was a little crazy 'cause the other prom sponsor decided to have a baby 2 weeks before prom. It was manageable, but I'll be glad to get the prom queen back next year. 2 adults vs 70+ kids is much better than 1 vs. 70.
