#29 - deeper and deeper!
Well, well, well ..... the more "things" I do, the more I realize how deep this all goes!!! So, my pitiful little igoogle home page is the tip of the iceberg!! After the overwhelming feeling of asking myself what in the world I am getting myself into, I picked a few things to try. I chose to add a couple of alerts. One was for my favorite tennis player and is totally goofy of me. I am looking forward to seeing how it works! My second alert is the result of me thinking I needed to appear somewhat professional. I picked my favorite newest children's author. I don't know what will happen but am willing to be patient. My one concern is I now have more e-mails to read! It is making me be more willing to click "delete" more often. Secondly, I created a google calendar. My initial response here was a selfish one also - how my husband and I could use the calendar as we coordinate our speaking dates, mission team visits, and other ministry related activities. We could then make the calendar available to all of the teams and churches that are associated with the ministry. I wonder if this is redundant - we are the dinosaurs who write everything on our calendar with an antiquated tool known as a pencil!! Epiphany!! Our teachers had expressed a need for a calendar that would be posted for everyone listing field trips, special assemblies, testing dates, etc.. . We now have big paper calendars taped to the wall in the work room using another old time tool: a marker. I wonder if they would use this calendar? I wonder if it would be blocked as a part of our school filter? mmmmmmm.

As you will see, I sent an email to your Nett Lake account. Later discovered that you are a new follower on my blog.
I appreciate your approach to More Things; more sequential and systematic than my approach.
I feel scattered, tend to skip over items as if I had done them already long ago, but then go back and see there is more to do. I skip ahead to subjects that seem interesting, and then get sidetracked into applications that take more time, like Picasa and Ning.
My email email notification from PBwiki about your blog said you were concerned about Google Health. I found the site with a simple Google search.
I went no further than to read the terms of service. It does look dangerous.
The George Stephanopolis program this morning had both conservatives and liberals promoting Health IT funding to enhance this kind of personal medical information. There is a long way to go to get it right, and shared. There are some good programs out there. 3M has had an office in Utah to service a large number of clients with a proprietary health information system. A friend of mine set up another unique, very good system for the State of Ohio. Who knows whether these systems can share each other?
The Silver Bay Clinic struggled to get their system right. It's good. Blustin Optical in Duluth and Two Harbors has an information system, but it doesn't connect the two offices. It takes a phone call to get a prescription when referred by a single doctor who has two offices.
Perhaps if you set up a shared school calendar you could convince the powers that be to unblock it if it is blocked by your filtering. It would be worth a try.
