Things wordy, geeky, and webbyLinks: Happy Birthday, Niece 2011 Edition
Friday, July 22nd, 2011 at 11:52 AM |My parents have three kids, four grandkids and four granddogs. Three of those kids would be my fault. 
The fourth is my 14-year-old niece who is exactly 18 months older than my second child. Like the rest of the US, I’m melting. Even the pool is too warm for me, and I’m one of those who needs it to be at least 95 degrees outside to go in the pool. It’s so hot that the nearby water park pour ice into its big pool.

Drink lots of water and check on others who may need help especially seniors.
It’s so hot … [fill in the blank].
Brain food…
- Why I’m Loving Google+. Debbie Ridpath Ohi, author and illustrator, shares her views of G+. I’m still figuring out how to make it work for me. My problem is that I’m spending more time in social media and that’s not good because it cuts into other things.
- 3 Types of Savings Every Freelance Writer Needs. Very important especially when it comes to quarterly taxes.
- 8 Reasons Books Fail. Focuses on self-published books. Bad cover art is a biggie. I know … I know … don’t judge a book by its cover. An author who doesn’t put effort into producing a catchy cover expects us to invest our time to read it. I don’t think so.
- Memorial researchers get the cinematic treatment. Who says the annual report must be a snore? Memorial University doesn’t. LOVE it. [Link: Daphne Gray-Grant]
- How to Make Your Own Book Trailer. Excellent recipe.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
- Voice Actors: The Voices of Our Childhood Heroes. It always surprises me when my husband tells me, “Hey, that’s so ‘n so’s voice.” I can’t fathom being able to recognize an actor’s voice. I can believe people recognizing the voices of family and friends — but famous people? There are so many.
- 12 Most Creative Origami Towels. I went on my first and only cruise in 2000 and I looked forwarded to my origami towel surprise every single day.
- The Real Cost of a Hogwarts’ Education. Have you considered room, board, uniforms, wand, accessories, books and all that? Yikes. And pet not included!
- Final Scenes in Movies. Can you guess what they are? Answers way down at the bottom of the post.
- Summer Nights from Grease in Lego Stop Animation Motion. I <3 musicals and actually know this song from Grease. Totally enjoyed. Even reflects every little move from the movie. Except, I think it missed Sandy crossing her arms. Legos don’t bend that way.
