Thing 12 – Blog Widgets

Well, I must say that I am making progress. The widget, but I choose to embed was the RetroNix Clock. I really do like the reproduction of the Nix vacuum tubes in this widget. He reminds me of watching real tubes numbering up and down in my high school electronics class. They used a huge amount of electricity compared with today's standards, but I get a say: “I love those tubes.”



I am becoming more comfortable with adding items to my blog. It is even becoming “fun” to add more information to my blog. There is still an air of comfort, being safe in the knowledge that my blog is not being read by hundreds of other people. While that day may come, it's good to know that I can still ride with my training wheels for the time being.

I do not belong to any other online communities at this time. However, I do read a few musical bulletin boards. I can understand why social networking sites are so popular with the kids today. There are lots of advantages to sitting in front of a keyboard and safety one's own home in sharing information across the ether of the Internet. For everyone's sake, I do hope people still get out and press the flesh once in awhile. There's something very visceral about being face-to-face with another human being.
