Now that I finally have a weekend with a little bit of downtime I’m able to take a close look at those linking to the BB’s News, Reviews, and Observations recently. Glad I did or I would’ve missed out a little longer on A Baby Boomer’s Music Video Blog which is..

…a hobbyist’s collection of favorite video clips from YouTube and is intended as a tribute to the great artists of the 50s, 60s and 70s that defined the music of a whole generation…

Right now I’m listening to a couple of Johnny Rivers videos posted there today. Secret Agent Man…oh the memories that one evokes. Scrolling through all the titles to the videos as I listen to Johnny, and…

Oh my! What a find! What a memory Chicago’s Color My World evokes! That memory is of my EX swooning all the females in his little black book with, “That’s OUR song.” when the local DJ would spin the vinyl at just the right moment. Imagine the surprise when several of us discovered we ALL shared the same “our song”…LOL!

I don’t seem to lately. But if you keep up with ProBlogger Darren Rowse you just might find out a way to squeeze in a productive blogging hour here and there by reading all the responses to his question, “If you only had one hour a day to blog what would you spend it doing?”

Appears spending time commenting on other blogs is a popular suggestion as it is of utmost importance to network and develop an online presence outside of your own blog. Tweaking your blog is much more time consuming so most seem to prefer to allow much more time for that blogging task. I REALLY need to spend some time in that area. MUST try to find some time in the near future to update a lot of things here.

Now that I have a Blackberry maybe I can mobile it now and then. At least spend some time jotting down thoughts and ideas for posts whenever I’m out and about and stuck in waiting mode somewhere such as standing in line at a checkout. Blogging while sitting in the waiting room of your doctor’s office might help divert your mind to more positive thoughts. For the many now resorting to some form of mass transit, that would be a great way to use that time of your day much more productively.

I’m checkin’ out the Twitter craze, too. Wanna follow me? Oh, and if anybody knows how to fix my Twitter box over there on the right sidebar please let me know. I’d very much appreciate it.

Just pickin’ around on this teeny tiny qwerty keyboard with my 1/4 inch nails to see how easy it is to type. I think I need rubber tips so the tip of my fingernail doesn’t slide off the edge of the keys so easily.

It’s easier than I thought it would be to type, but it’ll take a bit to hit 80 wpm on this thingy.

What’s the hazard for frequently typing this way? IOW, the carpal tunnel equivalent?

I’m anxious to go check out the maps available on my Blackberry. Lots to play with and familiarize myself with.Definitely have to do something about the ringtones. Will have to see what I can download.

Ok, ’nuff typin’ for now. Off to explore more.
