Here's my nephew-in-law, Will Debley, an Elvis tribute artist, directly from YouTube.
Please be sure that you say "Elvis Tribute Artist" and not Elvis impersonator.
I've played around with YouTube and like it to find the old TV shows from the 60's and before.

I guess it's fairly obvious why I choose this video. I've never seen Will perform Elvis. But he is a super vocalist.

Apparently he is making some money performing as Elvis and has had gigs in the Maryland suburbs. Has also attended (and done well at) competitions in Memphis and somewhere in Canada.

Thingy 14

Libraries, they are a changing. But don't forget about the generation that grew up when libraries meant a building with a door and books on the shelves. Those people will still be with us for some time. And they might go kicking and screaming into the next generation of libraries.
It hasn't been too long ago that we have had a borrower ask where our "card catalog" was.
And she wasn't happy when we told her that our "card catalog" was on the computer.

So much information and so many ways to access it. Libraries should find a way to make everyone comfortable with the new information and new ways.

I guess we have to lead them as they kick and scream.


Here are the youngest Cunninghams.
Now I've got it! I just have to go backwards through the thingys. Did 2 in 2 days. That's progress for me.
I can see the that Zoho Writer would be useful for someone who doesn't have access to a laptop and wireless.
But... another login and password to remember.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

thingy 19

Yep, I'm floating around in Thingy world. Decided to try 19 and found some sites/things I like. Maybe I like them because I've used them before.
I do like Zillow. Satisfies all kinds of noseyness. Is that a word? It's very useful to look up addresses and see values of real estate and even satellite views of the property. Very interesting.
Tried one, Wayfaring? Don't get it. Thought it was going to be like Mapquest or something. It's not. It's bloggers creating maps of where they've been. I guess that might be interesting to some.
Anyway, at least I've taken care of a Thingy. Now I have to go back and see what I've missed.
