Technology - Friend or Foe?

Technonology - sheesh!!  I have literally spent the last 15 minutes trying to log into my Blog.  The problem is that I have multiple GMail accounts, and apparently Blogger.com is closely associated with Google.  Unfortunately, I created my Blog using my Hotmail account.  Obviously, this is not acceptable in the Google Master's eyes.

Originally, I created my Blog with my University email, which was a GMail account.  However, since my work email has moved to GMail as well, I confused Blogger.com when I logged in.  Additionally, Blogger.com told me that I did not own my GMail university account and therefore was forced to change to a new email account to log in.  Since I already have 2 GMail accounts, I decided to use the Hotmail account so as not to have yet a third GMail account. 

So, here we are, back to the log in problem.  When I typed the Blog address in the URL, I am asked to log in with my GMail account.  But Googlegod, I have a Hotmail account!  The Googlegod did not reply, so I had to figure out what sort of technology sacrifice I needed to give.  Obviously, I sacrificed my patience and sanity. 

To find the link to my blog, I accessed my instructors "GoogleDoc" spreadsheet, and opened the link to my blog that way.  What in world did I ever do before Google????

ECI 719 First Post

Welcome to my blog for ECI 719.  I adapted a blog from a former NCSU course, so all of the former content is still available.  I had thought about deleting it, however, I plan on re-reading some of the articles to refresh my memory of the other course.

I hope everyone has a terrific week.  We are finishing up exams at my high school on Tuesday and Wednesday, and will use Thursday for a make up exam day.  Friday and Monday are professional days for us to get ready for the second semester and the onslaught of new students.
