Task #23 Webolution Wrapup

I took the survey, quick and painless.
And with that, I'm sorry to say, this Webolution has come to an end.

Task #22 Blogs We Like


I spent way too much time in Tastespotting looking and pondering recipes. (Thanksgiving is just around the corner ya know! )
I did find the site a bit awkward to navigate through, lots of twists and turns.
As for a blog that I follow, well, to be honest none. I'm just not a "blogger follower" type of guy(?)...person.
Egad, let me follow that comment with a clear declaration that I have really enjoyed the last two Webolutions. I've gained knowledge in useful as well as fun (Picnik) tasks. And I look forward to the possibility of more.
Thanks Nancy and Cari for all your work!

Task #21 Photo Editing with Picnik


A fun task!

I used the pencil sketch feature to change this photo.
This is a site I plan to Bookmark on my home computer and explore more when I have the time.
It is amazing what programs people can develop. (Smarter people than me for sure)

Task #20 Goverment Websites

I am very familiar with the County Assessor site and how to utilize it.
What I did find very interesting and useful was the State of Colorado webpage.
I researched how to renew my drivers license on line, and attempted to explore "Map Sexual Offenders by Address" but it was down for system maintenance. I will explore this site at a later time.
The most useful section was "Stolen Vehicle Check by Vin" which I can use to check vehicles that have been abandoned in the library parking lot. This will save me the step of calling local law enforcement to find the information.
Useful task.
