#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

I have just finished reading about RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and I don't find it simple at all. Too many passwords and yet another account. Not to mention how very time consuming it was. Thanks to the help of others I have managed to finally create my bloglines account. Once the account was created, the hardest part was over, and i really enjoyed creating the links between my blog and some interesting websites as well as other bloggers.

# 7 Blog about technology

I love SKYPE. I've spend 2 months in Europe visiting my family and friends. It was very nice to see everyone and very hard to say good bye. Thanks to Skype I am able to talk to my parents and see them nearly every day. It's fantastic and it's all for free. Talking to someone on Skype is so different from regular telephone conversation. It feels like talking to someone who is in the same room. Skype is very user friendly, even my father who just got his first computer doesn't have any problems with it. Your never too far from someone special with free Skype-to-Skype video call. It's easy to set up and all you and the other person need is a webcam and skype. It's easy to start your video call, simply by clicking the video button by any contact or use start my video during a call. Video can be easily turned on and off during the call. It's a lot of fun and I'd recomend it to anyone.

# 6 More Flickr Fun

Kuleczka & Cricket puzzle
This is my cats photo made into jigsaw puzzle from FD Toys on Flickr. There is a lot more to play with, however it was very frustrating to wait for each one of them to open.
