As always, I had such a blast taping another episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable. (link once live) Today’s topic… FamilyHistory (genealogy)
As I shared on the show, the company I work FamilySearch.org is a non-profit organization that offers free genealogical resources. With literally billions of searchable records, a research help wiki, free courses, videos, forums and even more than 4000 Family History centers world wide – you are sure to get off to a great start.
One of my FAVORITE videos is part of the 5 minute genealogy series geared toward beginners.

There is not much that I can say that has not already been said. But with the passing of Steve Jobs…I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the profound effect that his vision and passion has on my life. The iPod, iPhone, and even my iPad and MacBook are all things that I interface with on a daily basis. They help me work, play, and learn. All without even thinking about it. They are essentials in my tool belt of life. {I know that there are those that may think that is just crazy I know… but these gifts of technology make the day to day tasks of single motherdom more manageable.} Pixar Movies are among our very favorites. And his boldness is one I admire greatly - “Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”
More than just gadgets. These tangible items of a larger vision improve the quality of my life, increase the amount of time I have with my wonderful family, and just make day to day more fun. They have truly changed the way I live my life.
Steve Jobs represents an innovative spirit that will inspire for generations to come. It’s amazing to see how the legacy of Steve Jobs is the norm for my kids. It’s second nature for each of my daughters to se the technology that some thought would be impossible.
I hope we all can take his advice – “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life … Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
anxiously awaiting the Apple press conference – Let’s Talk iPhone. Fellow Apple-ites understand this feeling. What will they announce, when will it be available. And with Steve Jobs no longer the CEO…what will this announcement be like? iCloud.. ARGH! theOatmeal illustrated perfectly. (click on the image)
Apple will not be streaming the press conference, however… check out one of the many outlets that will be trying to stream… or live blogging. The two I have book marked are below.
