Laughing kittens — nice icon. I like laughing kittens. :)

I imagine we each have our own ideas about what’s comedic, and our own unique sense of humor. This is my offering:

Several computer giants are competing for the allegiance of my small netbook. My Google toolbar offered to import my Microsoft favorites, and then Microsoft told me it could post to Blogger for me, using Windows Live. I clicked on the Windows Live icon out of curiosity even though I don’t have an account. Lo and behold, a Messenger showed up, and, like a genie sprung from a bottle, it refused to leave. I clicked on the Messenger’s ‘X’ and it told me that, just in case I were to need something, it would still be running in my system tray. I was writing a blog entry in Microsoft Works, offline, when an ad appeared for Hotmail — ‘Get it now!’ — with a picture of a guy whopping himself in the head like he just realized he could have had a V-8. So then the other day, I was installing a security program that Radio Shack had given me as a promotional giveaway… I unchecked a couple boxes as the program was installing. If I hadn’t unchecked those boxes, you know what the security suite was planning to do? It was fixing to set Yahoo as my homepage and install my new Yahoo toolbar…

This place has been laughless for too long…
Quick, everyone tell a joke!

@Ricardo..this isn’t a Japanese group. This group is for anyone who likes to laugh

LOL..Ricardo, that was funny! I know someone that would do that! Thank you for sharing.

Part of the issue is that WordPress is concerned about their shared servers crashing. One company noted that their widget currently couldn’t be placed on a free WordPress blog, but that they were negotiating with WordPress. They linked to an article that expained why WordPress stripped out some types of embed code.

Blogger has a javascript/HTML code widget that lets you embed all sorts of things: AuthorStream slideshows, TeacherTube MP3 players, Animoto videos….

I think I can do the Wednesday one — it’s 11:00 AM PST.

I just made a video that has nothing to do with online education. It is a tribute to a cat
I think there is a way to put it on Squidoo; Blogger I know is easy. I put this kitty’s story on Squidoo a couple nights back, sans video. I had this cat most of my adult life (until June); he had a lot of friends, as we used to live in housing co-ops.

Animoto has a program that makes videos for you, out of photos, and very short video clips. It is possible to upload it to YouTube, if one wishes.

Welcome Yoel! Thanks for the introduction. I look forward to seeing you around eduFire :)

Just over 2,000 away! :)

Hi Pierre-Alex,

Yes streaming a video via screen sharing wont give you good results. If you can convert the segment of video that you want to play into either a .flv or .swf file, then you can upload it into the Share pod and that will work just fine.

Hi everyone! That is correct, payments are sent around around the 5th of each month and the payments will arrive shortly as per the email that was sent out a couple of days ago.
Thanks so much!

Moved to ‘Fireside Chat’ :)

Moved to ‘Talk with eduFire’ :)

@Norm I wouldn’t kill the spider either… Just run really fast :)
