Today I created my first "widget," which is linked to my Twitter account. It should show up in the left-hand column -- do you see it? I also set up a twittermail account. Now any time I post something on Twitter, it should show up on my "widget." I envision using this for work, adding a widget to our website and blog, which can be valuable for breaking news. Using twittermail, I can post "tweets" from my Blackberry, which should be really valuable when I'm not in the office or at a computer with internet access.
Of course, I've got to get a LOT faster than I was today. I can't spend all day doing this if there's an emergency!
I'm modeling this after the Los Angeles Fire Department, which does an awesome job of using technology. I'm still figuring out how facebook fits into all of this, but the blog and twitter are no-brainers!
Enjoy the snow!

Hi everyone and welcome to my Blog!
I don't know that I'll be able to update it as frequently as other people do, but I wanted to at least get the website reserved and get a start. I also signed up for Facebook and Twitter today, so I'm really moving forward into the 21st century!
I only hope I'll have the time to keep up with all of them; I have a hotmail account that I used to check religiously and now I hardly check at all. Right now I have 723 messages in that Inbox! They're mostly advertisements from websites I shop at, since I don't like to give my "real" email address to those places, but still...and now I've opened a gmail account, a Facebook account, a Twitter account, AND a blog??? I must be crazy; I don't have that much spare time!
OK, so here's my first post. Tomorrow I hope to have more time to learn how to add photos and other cool things like my Mom does. Check out her blog at:

She is a wonderful artist and photographer, and now a VERY proud grandmother.
More later,
T.
