Thing 7: To Do Lists

I have to admit being pretty excited about this particular techplay assignment because I am the "list master"...really, you can even ask my husband!! We have a big family party this weekend so I was excited to see how I could use this type of technology with all my current lists I have going. First I tried "tadalist" which was okay and pretty simple to use. I personally did not like "remember the milk" because it didn't seem as user friendly as "tadalist" and I was disappointed that I was not able to send it to my phone as a text message. Lastly I tried "thingamalist" and it was great! I was able to sent my grocery list to my cell phone as a text message. I also sent a "to do" list to my husband...I'll bet he LOVES this new technology! I don't see myself using this on a regular basis, but for a big event like we have going on this weekend, it will ensure that I will NOT accidentally leave my list at home!!

Thing 5: Audio Downloads

Well, what can I say? This was one of the easier assignments we've had. I was one of the people who had to wait until more audio books were checked out, but that was okay since I was able to continue by completing Podcasts first. Since I do not own an Ipod yet, I probably would not find myself using this technology just yet...but my birthday is coming up and maybe if my husband is reading this blog...

Thing 6: Podcasts

Just finished Thing 6: Podcasts, and I am proud to say that I can officially be your "go to" person if you need to know the latest and greatest news from The Onion. I used to love reading it when I lived in the city so I am excited to get a chance to listen to it as well!!
