Screen Capture Tools

When I was asked to research, and give a report about screen capture tools, I had no idea how powerful these tools are. I have heard of screen cast before, and even opened up an account with them a while ago, but never really used it. Screen Cast works seamlessly with the Tech smith products like Camtasia Studio, and Jing Project. Camtasia Studio allows you to train your stuff using videos to PowerPoint presentations to lectures look better, and allow you to reach more people in a fast way. On the other hand, Jing allows you to take screen captures and recordings in just one click. The fun part is, every time you create a new capture or video with Jing, you can upload to Screencast.com. You can share or organize files. You can open a free account on screenshots.com that allows up to 2 GB of storage and 2 GB of transfer bandwidth per month. In short these tools allow you to publish, post, and show the world. To learn more go to:www.screencast.com I'll be posting my video soon. At the meantime, visit Berhane's blog and view one that I made with him.

Happy Birthday Lil' B

Happy Birthday to you my dearest son! When I first brought you from the hospital in 04, I was so excited,and could not wait for you to try your new outfits, and I couldn't wait to see you start rolling over, When you started rolling, I could not wait to see your first smile, Once you showed us your first smile, I couldn't wait for you to start sitting, When you started sitting, I could not wait for you to start crawling, Once you mastered crawling, I was looking forward to see you standing, and walking Once you stood, and walked, I couldn't wait to see you running, and kicking the ball! Now four years old, and in preschool, you are doing so many activities. I believe this is what many other mothers do. We are so caught up in what is yet to happen Instead, enjoy the moment. I love you with all my heart. May all your good wishes come true! May God bless you!

Enjoy your day!

Ndamona @ Seven months

My baby girl turned 7 months November 1. I'm still breastfeeding, and have started giving her three meals everyday like rice cereal, squash, yum and much more. Ndamona sleeps through the night, but wakes up to eat every 2- 3 hours, then go right back to sleep;this is very tiring because I just get one to two hours sleep then baby girl wakes up again, feed her, then it might take me an hour to go back to sleep, by the time I sleep for an hour, she gets up again. I think she is old enough to sleep without eating at night. I don't think she's really hungry, I think it's more of a habit. I could have wait until she turns 9 -12 months to break the habit, but I'm overly tired. It's about time I get my full night sleep. It has been 11 months since I slept for at least 4 hours. Can you believe it? During January of 08, I was put on bed rest and took terbutaline (medicine to reduce the contractions) every 4 hours 24/7 until April. Once the baby arrived, she kept me up all days and all nights long. I started training her since this week Monday, but she kept winning me because I don't want to hear her cry for longer than an hour. I'm determined to see her sleeping without eating at night. Right now I wish for a 5 hour long sleep. Women are the most strong people on earth. When it come deep to it, even if I don't get enough sleep right now its ok, my kids come first and I know the sleepless night won't last forever; before I know it, I'll be asking Ndamona to stay awake to listen to my stories or watch a good movie with me.
