Learn and play finally finished

•December 3, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Most of the things in Learn and Play was things I already knew how to use.  I’m the kind of person that when a new gadget or program comes out I have to try it.  I’m in the Beta for playstation home. I’ve actually been in a whole bunch of betas this year. Some things I can talk about some things I can’t.  So I really didn’t learn anything new I’ve already moved on the “next big thing”.  It was fun to actually do this stuff at work and get paid for it tho.

I’ve tried to get Moldi to work many times and have fail just as much.  I’m so glad most of the new devices have a store built into them now.  The PSP can connect to the PSN store.  The I-phone can connect to Itunes.  The Kindle connects to Amazon.  I don’t know but downloading from the internet PC and connecting a device to it seems kindle backwards now.

I’ve been listing to podcast for about a year and a half.  Most of them are video game related ones.

Major Nelson – xbox podcast

Playstation Nation – look at name

IGN podcast

I found most of my podcast by surfing around I tunes and hanging around forums.

Station Youtube

I use youtube mostly to look up combos in fighting games.

Before Youtube came out something as simple as looking for combo vids was a long and tiring process. I would be searching forums after forums for a link to a video I can download. You can find just about anything on Youtube. I’ve trained my dog with the videos I found on there.

Tooling around with CML

Wow I use everything single one of those. Firefox is my default web browser. Gmail is just about my everything. Email, word processor, etc. I use lively to keep in touch with some friends. And I have the library widget on my computer at home.

Google apps

I love using these apps. I know that Office is a “better” for writing but I really did care. I just type I don’t use any of the fancy bells that Office has. OpenOffice is another program I’ve used before. Gimp is a free photo editor that i’ve used. Basically I’ve tried a lot of Freeware and love using them. Gimp will never replace photoshop but it was a great stepping up tool to learn photoshop. Expecially when you were a jobless student.

Open Office looks a lot like Microsoft Word except it's free
