Columbus Gasoline Prices and Hurricane Ike
As I was driving to the storage space, I filled up with gas; $3.52/ga. As I was driving back I looked at the sign and; $3.79/ga. Even before any damage is really done, they have raised the price. So, with that in mind...

Put your Blog posts on Twitter
http://www.twitterfeed.com/
I am playing with this one. Not sure I got it together, but will see. It's just what you need to communicate automatically what is happening on your blog.
Music over Twitter
I took this one off because of the huge # of tweets, but it's a good one for a short while to get the URL and pick a station. 
Found an internet radio station portal on Twitter http://www.stationportal.com/?page=stationhistory%26u=http%253a%252f%252f207.200.96.227%253a8008
Follow me on Twitter and look for the icon. Click on it and you can see tweets from that icon. If you want to...you can follow the person/reference so that their tweets are visible on your twitter. The icons here are just so u know what to look for or you can search them by their name/title.

Westerville Tweets
I am absolutely mystified. How can it be that Westerville is so savy that they are tweeting good stuff, using slideshare, etc etc. Check em out...http://tinyurl.com/5lxkd6
I am following several news and information tweets. Having small bits of info usually including a link is very practical. Follow me on twiiter via the widget in the sidebar.
Storage search
Searching for storage facilities today on the web. I am familiar with a couple near where I am located that are not easily located via the internet. That surprises me. Even though they are missing from this site: http://www.usstoragesearch.com it is the best resource for finding storage because each facility has to give you a 1 month free coupon that are offered because they post with the service.

Blogging On
Click on title...get a "whizle" guide to blogging. The guide mentions not being concerned that nobody is reading your blog. It's a "just dive in" approach to the "art". Anyway, since we are moving along a week at a time on this, I backed off from running ahead because there are assignments. I have already used del.icio.us and LibraryThing. I have also found some cool tools such as http://goanimate.com/ After creating a mashup with silverlight, I discovered that people would have to download it to see my work. Flash is better.
I really like blogging. I started having ideas for themes to blog about that some "civilians" might take an interest in. I am looking for a widget that allows visitors to chat with each other on my blog. Now that would be convenient. It's like point of purchase advertising...you need to connect NOW. Not tomorrow or maybe next week sometime to get an impact.

Bloglines
I am following the directions per the Learn and Play site;
How to find your public Bloglines URL:
"Click on the Share tab within your Bloglines account:
Scroll down the right screen pane and locate the public URL (see screenshot)
Be sure to add this as part of your post to demonstrate your completion of this activity!"
http://www.bloglines.com/blog/pixelwiki
Frankly, I have been really frustrated with bloglines because of a message that has continued to appear at the top of the page; "Your account has not been confirmed yet, please reply to the email verification message that was sent by Bloglines." I have responded to that e-mail numerous times to no avail, but I have continued to add to my list of feeds anyway.
The use of rss makes it easier to visit things/people since you can include their blogs/rss feeds on a blog or in e-mail. I especially appreciate being able to have the CML Learn and Play feed on the blog.
