Comments on: year two (the final one) of star grant begins http://blogs.parisisd.net/ckennedy/2008/09/27/year-two-the-final-one-of-star-grant-begins/ Just another blogs.parisisd.net weblog Thu, 17 May 2012 23:19:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.3-2.2.1 By: Tim http://blogs.parisisd.net/ckennedy/2008/09/27/year-two-the-final-one-of-star-grant-begins/#comment-76 Tim Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:31:18 +0000 http://blogs.parisisd.net/ckennedy/2008/09/27/year-two-the-final-one-of-star-grant-begins/#comment-76 Instead of sock puppets, we're thinking of using Barbie dolls on a future BlueTube. We had one left in the studio from a piece we did last year. To make a long story short, one of the guys took possession of it along with some plastic ties and duck tape. I'm not sure if Barbie in Bondage would fly with the censors. The only app I ever used in Parallels was PageMaker, and it was such a hassle I quit PageMaker entirely (PageMaker is a dead app anyway -- Adobe has packaged it in a new high-priced toy). I'm content in my Mac only world, but, of course, I have the luxury of having students who reside in that world, too. My iMacs are showing age, however, resembling Windows senility. Technology doesn't age well, despite brand names. Instead of sock puppets, we’re thinking of using Barbie dolls on a future BlueTube. We had one left in the studio from a piece we did last year.

I like the sock puppets idea. Will anxiously await. It has to be better than what is on tv these days! ahh - understand on both counts. I like the sock puppets idea. Will anxiously await.

I'll send you a link when the first episode is ready. I am fairly comfortable with Apple's numbers (Excel semi-equivalent) software. The things I do with the kids require them to be using Excel and I would rather be able to show them a mirror image of what they were looking at on their screen. looking at making some short videos for technology instruction. thought the sock puppets might could add a bit of humor to the whole thing.

Have you thought about using google docs spreadsheet instead of booting into windows? If you are not using macros the basic stuff is there. You could actually create the original in excel if you are more comfortable and then upload it and have it sitting there ready to go. There is a bit of a learning curve, but not too bad and google docs blog and the help pages have tons of documentation. Good luck! What’s up with sock puppets LOL?
