Technology for a College Student/Grandma

I am pretty comfortable with most of the technologies discussed - while I've never made a meme, I'm confident in my ability to figure it out pretty easily. I have briefly maintained a blog on WordPress for my travel abroad experiences, so I'm familiar with that format and maybe should have used it instead of Blogger, but I thought it would be better to become skilled with something new rather than sticking to the familiar. I appreciate that this class is one that focuses on applicable skills.

I say I'm comfortable with tech, but I am suspicious of cookies...

    I'm really enjoying your meme selection, so I fully support any endeavors you might make in learning how to create your own memes. Memes have got to be one of the most intimidating aspects of technology for me, and I'm not entirely sure why because I'm a millennial and I'm supposed understand memes. Best of luck with the meme-making, and I think your Blogger looks great!

Reading Notes: Nine Ideal Indian Women; The Story of Savitri

The story of Savitri had a great affect on me this week because of her strength, and ability to know what she wanted from life. When she was presented with situations that she did not like, she accepted what was inevitable, but knew her own power and what she was able to accomplish, and used it. I loved the style of writing throughout the story (enough to buy the whole book on Amazon), because all of the descriptions were about the relationships between characters or what they were feeling. There are definitely some beautiful stories that have a lot of detail poured into the surroundings and the background to set up a better mental image, but the relational writing here was beautiful. This depiction of Savitri following her husband into the woods spoke to me because she did not try to plead or prevent what she knew was inevitable, but she did everything she could to deal with it when it happened.  Bibliography:  Devee, M. S. (1970, January 01). Nine ideal Indian Wo...

Week 14 Story: Saving Steve Part 2

Update: This story has been added and edited to my portfolio site here . Diana landed over the wall, her bracelets up and ready to protect her from the bullets of the many guards she thought would be patrolling the grounds. But as she looked around, there was no one to be found - where was everyone? She warily started towards the mansion, an uneasy feeling in her stomach as she got closer and closer. This was too easy.... All of a sudden, right as she got within about ten feet of being able to peer into one of the mansion windows, alarms started blaring! She looked around to see where they were coming from and to find a point of entry so she could find Steve before the guards got to her. The less fighting necessary, the better. Jumping behind some bushes under a large window, she was just about to walk around to the back of the house to find a door, when she saw a man running as fast as he could down the hill away from the house. One second later, she realized it was Steve. Sprinting...

Reading Notes: Dutton: Fables of Bidpai Part A

For these final reading notes, I decided to read what is described as the Indian version of Aesop's Fables. I loved reading the fables growing up, and even translated some of them as practice for Latin classes I took in grade school. Many of the stories were one or two paragraphs long, which made it fun to just quickly go through them. Some of them had very clear morals stated at the end, others you had to infer what you were meant to learn. Overall, they have the same charm and brevity that Westerners know and love with Aesop's fables. I greatly enjoy this style of writing and story telling because they're like little bites of wisdom you can take with you, told in a way to make you smile. Some of the other stories meant to teach you morals end on a much more serious note, and while those are also enjoyable, the silliness of these fables is fun to read. My favorite of all of them was the Poor Man and the Flask of Oil. The basics of it are that a poor man is given a flask o...
