New Zealand

This is going to be the place I try to update while I am on my trip to New Zealand for the Pan Pacific games in Auckland. I am currently down in Placentia, California where we are training for four days. We have 13 boy and girls from Ukiah in Northern California and we are training with 9 girls from El Dorado High School, and 5 boys from St John Bosco High School in southern California. We leave Tuesday night on our 17 hour flight........ yeah!

It is winter over there so it will be a little cold but the beauty is still breathtaking. The trip will be for 16 days and we will be playing water polo the entire time. There will be a day or two we get free to tour the North end of the island. I will try to visit the Shire and meet some hobbits, HAHA. We plan on staying at Sacred Heart High School which is a private high school their in Auckland. So keep checking every few days and hopefully I will have a few pictures up with updates on our trip.

Librbary Thoughts

I was reading my way through librarything and at first I didn't thing to much on it. Once I I signed up and started adding the recent books I have read I began to feel a little differently about it. I stated to play wit the tags and look up other books similar to those I have read. A lot of them look really good. I will most likely began to search more books to read. I am more into the athletics type books. I really enjoy reading books by other coaches and seeing things from their prospective. There have been many time were I have been in a book store searching for specific books or books on a specific topic and couldn't find anything. Librarything make that search so much more simple. You can also find places to buy your book through this site. So as I said earlier, I was a was not to fond of it in the beginning but as I got used to the site and signed up for it I began to get a diff rent feel. I will probably continue to utilize this site more when the class is over. Here is a link to my catalog. Hope you enjoy.

My Image Generator

So I had a chance to play with the image generator and I had a little to much fun. I am actually going to send some of the pictures to my buddies. I think it is great to have access to stuff like that if you don't have something like photo shop on your computer. There is a lot out there you can play with. I plan on spending some more time paying with a lot of the other different sites. I need to load more of my pictures to my computer now. I have included one picture of me and my buddies last summer posted on two different magazine covers, Sweet! The top picture I was able to create my own title. The second picture was putting your picture on a popular magazine that already exists. I have also included the links for both, have fun.

Podcasting

So I recently have been introduced to the world of podcasting. I am still new to the idea of this and how to make it more convenient. As i tried to link my choices to my blog lines account I found it to be a little more difficult than I would like. My brother in law got me using itunes and I like using that much more. I have several podcast I listen to regularly on my itunes player. My next step is to invest in a ipod so can load my podcasts onto that for long trips. Podcasting is great for those who do not have cable television or time to sit and watch all their favorite shows. Or you might miss your favorite radio broadcast one week and want to catch up. Podcasting is limitless. Professors use it to broadcast lectures for the week and make them available to all there students. So for me podcasting is great and look forward to learning more about it, finding more feeds I enjoy and figuring out how to load them up a little more resourcefully.
