Image Generator

The image generator is a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed this part of the 23 things. I was able to play and
create images, puzzles, design book covers, convert images into
animals, calendars, etc.

This cute pic was taken on St. Valentine's celebration. I thought it was really nice, and for that reason I changed it into a puzzle.

RSS, my own experience!

At the beginning, my experience with RSS (Really Simple Syndication) was very frustrating.
The more I worked with it, the more I learned about it, and the more I started liking it.
What I enjoy the most about it is the ability to group in one single place all of my favorite sites, news and articles without having to go any other place.

History of Cell Phones

The inventor of the first hand held cell phone Dyna Tac 8000X known as "the brick" was designed by Rudy Krolopp. This cell phone weighed 2 pounds and it had only a half an hour of talk per charge. Motorala CEO Martin Cooper was the person in charge of making the first phone call using this device on April 3, 1973. This phone was sold for $3,995.

The first commercial cellular network was launched in Japan by NTT in 1979.

In 1990, the United States was the first country to make a phone call from a digital phone using a 2G system technology.
Text messaging was introduced in 1980, but actually was used in 1993 by an engineering student by accident. Nokia commercialized the use of text messaging in Japan in 1995.

In 1996, the fashion phones were introduced. Motorola marketed their Star Tac phone. This lighweigh 3.1 oz. clamshel style phone, was the smallest and lightest of its time. It could be clipped to your belt.

In 1998, the blue tooth technology was introduced.

In 1999, the Blackberry was introduced. It is a wireless handheld device that supports email, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing and web browsing.

In 2000, the 3G (third generation technology) was introduced.

2002, before the T-Mobile Sidekick phone became Hollywood "it" phone, it was known as the HipTop phone. This cell provided truly mobile web browsing and email access.

Also in this year, cell phones appeared with a built-in camera.

And finally in 2005, cell phones companies were able to come up with a phone that combined the itunes from Apple technology and the best of Motorola. Today's cell phones are not only for communication purposes, but also for taking pictures, surf on the web, listen to music and many other features.

Blue-footed booby scientifically known as Sula nebouxii. It is a bird from the Sulidai family. Its name comes from the Spanish word "bobo" which means stupid bird. It is easy to tame.
This is a marine bird, mainly lives in the water, and only looks for land when it is breeding time. They land in the rocks.
This gorgeos bird lives along the Pacific Ocean, but is mostly and almost uniquely found in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
The blue-footed booby is not bigger than 32 inches. Curiously, the female is bigger in size than the male. Its eyes are yellow, and feet are of a bright blue color.

Blogging can be used in Libraries.
It will tremendously help to interchange information on different subjects.

I think the 7.5 habits of highly successful learners is an excellent source to get started.
I am a good learner, and I am open to new technology.
The only obstacle I foresee, it will be finding the time to learn.
