I’ve played with numerous typing programs in the past, but none like TypeRacer. I have never in my life have been so addicted to a game, especially a typing one. Not only do you brush up on your typing skills (you have to be accurate in spelling, capitalization and punctuation), it’s a lot of fun because you can play against friends.
This was my shining moment: 1st place and 100 wpm!
…and in the spirit of it, I thought I’d post something mildly mushy and cute. I came across this video a while back and even still, I think it has a catchy tune. I <3 YouTube.
You’re probably thinking, “Lady in Red?” Is that a Chris DeBurgh reference? It is. However, this blog entry will have a different spin on ladies in red.
In case you didn’t know, today is National Wear Read Day.
The Heart Truth—a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease—created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wakeup call to American women. The Red Dress reminds women of the need to protect their heart health, and inspires them to take action. National Wear Red Day promotes the symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in this life-saving awareness movement by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie, or Red Dress Pin.
One of the best ways of taking precautionary steps to lead a healthier lifestyle is simply by being aware. Today, I’m showing my support by sporting a red turtle neck. Will you?
Music plays a large role in my daily life. Therefore I want to share a few things that I’ve been fortunate to come across.
I present to you, 3 internet radio sites!
Pandora.com – This is a site I’m sure many of you already know about. It creates playlists based on similar musical characteristics of the song or artist you select. It’s nice because it’ll play songs from various artists – sometimes with new artists that you’ll probably end up having a growing interest for.
Last.fm – Similar, but different from Pandora, Last.fm allows the user to share and promote artists. Registered users can subscribe to other users to hear their taste in music. Fun way to explore new, different and upcoming musicians.
Musicovery.com – Of the three internet radio stations, this one has to be my favorite! This nifty application selects songs from a wide variety of genres (or the ones you specifically pick) based on a mood matrix. If you’re in the mood for something slow paced but with a positive melody, click in the positive and calm quadrant.
Give each of them a try! They’re all unique and come in handy in different situations.
