From the "Dark Side"...

All I have to say is that I just recently saw a report of a person who only conducts her business transactions on line and has been extremely careful, and she got her identity stolen off of the Internet. So if even the most experienced folks out there can get scammed...I don't take any extra chances. I'm sorry, but I don't put any of my personal info out there and I don't do online payments or banking. Call me old fashioned, or foolish, or just plain paranoid, but I've had my identity stolen once before with snail mail and I don't want to go through that again!! Phishing and Malware are just frightening!

Life Long Learning

I just can't keep up with all that is out there!!! Whew, there were so many great links in this last assignment I wanted to spend more time exploring. The Berklee Music Lessons were very cool, I loved the fact that a amateur blues guitarist could basically get free lessons from a professional musician of a prestigious music school. How cool is that?! Like I said, I definitely could've played around in this assignment more. The positivity blog I would visit again and I think that Instructables is just evil. That is just plain addictive for the do-it-yourselfer. Very, very cool. I will be checking that out like crazy. eHow was great too. The online graduate classes are something I was already familiar with and the eCollege Guide is a handy tool. I have some further investigating to do on my own part after 2.1 has ended. There are just so many tools out there to find info, it's mind blowing. I really enjoyed this assignment and I will be returning to many of these web sites.
