things I learn through blogging
See, when people tell me that blogging’s not helpful or a waste of time, I can say with certainty that they’re totally wrong.
For example, when I posted the pictures of my new muse, Vic (who, BTW, thinks he can boss me around), I discovered that Jean and I have the same keyboard. This is very important for me to know, because she talked about how the Bluetooth capability of the keyboard (it’s wireless) goes into sleep mode after ten minutes. Which was something I didn’t know, because even though I bought the keyboard because it was Bluetooth enabled because I figured, hey, my laptop and BlackBerry are both Bluetooth enabled and somehow, they could all connect, I don’t know how to connect them at all.
But I know Jean does. So, if I ever get it together, I know who to ask for help. See? Knowledge = power.
I wonder why Jean just ran away screaming?
Oh, and Eve? I saw Skating With Celebrities last night. Could Kristi be a bigger ditz or what?
Now I’ve got to go work on the 7 Things Meme Lynn tagged me with. Oh yes, and writing.

My iBook is Bluetooth enabled. I love Bluetooth! I even have a Bluetooth external modem I use so I don’t have to run the phone line across the room. :)

Oh, I can stalk Tori too!
I must admit, I don’t really understand what I’m supposed to do with the Bluetooth. Is it like a palm pilot, when you beam info from one to the other?

It’s really more like a radio frequency (RF) remote. I use Bluetooth for my Palm to laptop synchronization and for my cell phone to earpiece connection. You set up a relationship and pair each of the two devices (and, yes, sometimes those relationships, like real life, are a real pain).
Bluetooth generally has a better range than wireless, so that’s one thing I like about it. Each Bluetooth “dongle” (for external) or internal connection seems to work as a hub for up to seven devices. I haven’t tested that yet, but I plan to someday.
Vic is so cool…

I have a cracked tooth - does that count?
Yes, Swanson is, um, something else. But their routine last week was great - oh, wait, you didn’t see last weeks.
Although, this is a bit more dangerous than dancing or singing - did you see him slam her on the ice? Maybe that’s why she was a bit ditzy?:lol:

Sounds like Jean knows way more about it than I do. :)

By the way, Jean hasn’t run screaming, but she is wondering why you would have a “decorative” keyboard.

Jean - I really wanted a wireless mouse, and then I saw the wireless keyboards and the word Bluetooth and thought, sure, that’ll work. But I’m on a wireless network already, so I don’t know what more the whole bluetooth thing can give me…
Eve - I totally saw her hit her face, and then act like it didn’t hurt at all! That had to hurt SO badly! And LOL @ your cracked tooth - well, not really at your cracked tooth, but you know what I mean.
Tori - Don’t act like I still can’t bug you about Bluetooth things…

I admit I love watching Skating With Celebrities. I’d watch it just to gawk at John Zimmerman. YUM!

*blinking innocently* Who, me?

Well, I just figured if everyone can have blue teeth, I could have a cracked one

But Kristi did a fantastic job tonight!
