So I’ve been perusing the apps store. As far as games I didn’t want to pay for Bejeweled (yet again) so I downloaded JirboJive. Same rules for the game, but has animal faces instead of jewels to match up.

JirboMatch which is a Memory game.

And Jirbo Break which is breakout.

All were free (currently) .

I have driven a few days and experienced Atlanta traffic. And a 6 lane parking lot.

A tech tip on dealing with traffic. Number 1, check before you leave. I use my iPhone to check Georgianavigator.com before I leave to see if I need to avoid traffic jam spot. Also I check the built in Google Maps Traffic in case something is different. And I always assume the worst. This has mad the diffrence between a 0.5 hr trip and a 1.5 hr trip. Now the Google Maps traffic is an unimportant feature if you live and work in say…. Cookeville, TN. In ATL it’s great. It’s almost a necessity

I used TomTom to navigate me where I’m going. I use one with the text to speech function where it will tell me I have a turn coming up soon and need to get in a certain lane and then it will tell me when to turn. If I miss a turn or go the wrong way it will automatically recalculate how to get to my destination from that spot.

I recommend gasbuddy.com to find where the lowest cost fuel is, and keep the gas bill down.

*ATL is Atlanta, GA, USA if you haven’t figured it out by now

Ficlets | Skinny Dipping

I haven’t logged into Ficlets in over a month. I log into find that my ficlet “Skinny Dipping” had 6 new comments in the last 2 weeks. It was a little short story that I managed to write with two of the characters running around in my head.  I tend to make characters in my mind, but I can’t seem to capture them on paper correctly for more than a paragraph or two. I really need to try to write more. If I write more, I seem to write better. Or at least I like my writing more if I’m more practiced. I have one story that’s been in the works almost 2 years, but I can say it’s up to 8 typewritten pages which probably makes it the longest thing I’ve ever written. However it’s in parts. Many parts. There are big gaping voids that need to be filled in to type the parts together. Some of my other stories are parts of a larger story, but I just let the part stand alone.

Now I have Wrote the Longest Word running through my head.

Make me stop.
