Dragon flies and Lightning bolts

Verbs and/or nouns??? Hmmm, let's examine this quandary. Well, my grammar teacher would tell you that they are both nouns with adjectives preceding. I'm not here to teach grammar, so let's get into the meat of this article. I just thought that these two phrases described my day as well as made a good title for a blog post. Let's start with dragon. Otherwise spelled draggin', as in, "draggin ass." That was how I felt when I hit MTH 085 @ 7:30AM. I mean really? Who wants to do math at 7:30 in the morning? Flies came from the nasty critters that seemed to pester me all day long. Apparently seeking shelter indoors (in my classrooms) as the temperature begins to fall into its' normal Autumn pattern. Lightning, was all about the surge I felt from actually learning something that I was totally unaware of prior to its introduction. It also could have come from the 3rd Mt. Dew I drank before 10AM but the learning was WAY COOL, too. Bolts, that was me after my final class hurrying to get to the bus before it left and kept me stranded for another 50 minutes in the cold Autumn breeze. So the lesson for today is: Everything is not what it appears to be. For you grammar nerds....Dragon = VERB, Flies = NOUN, Lightning = NOUN, & Bolts = VERB. You can work it out from there. Me, I have to write 3 sentences about some new, fresh, techno stuff now. So while you geek out on the grammar, I'm going to go techno nerd for a moment. Skip to the next paragraph if you want to catch up with the story at hand.
*TECHNO WARNING*
Tech Tales V.II
Once again my geeko-matic whizz kids at  http://www.techfresh.net/ a.k.a. my Tech-Freshies have got more crap(or poo) than Mike Rowe could shovel in one episode of Dirty Jobs but still there are some nuggets of information I find relative. So I'm going to share it with you. Here are the weeds in the garden to start with in case you are interested. Acer has a mini smart-phone with projector capabilities for under $500, Gateway has rolled out some phat monitors (23"& 24".) Flat-panels, back lit, and just waiting to hop on your PC for under $300. Asus has come out with their own little tablet to rival the iPad and it even comes with a kickstand. How cute is that? This little beauty come in at only...hmmm, they don't appear to be confident enough to mix in a price for this gem. Anyhow, I'm sure it will be competitive with the iPad and the previously mentioned (Tech Tales I) Android tablet. Personally, I find tablets more for the doctors and folks that are used to carrying clipboards that can't get dirty. If you want to compute on the fly get a laptop (imo.) So there's the gadget update. Once I find something that get's my blood coursing I will bust out all the pertinent information I find worthy but until then, I'm going to help you wade through the meir of crap that lays before us in the fertile world of new technology. That concludes Tech Tales V.II.

Sorry that was well more than 3 sentences and "by golly" it has muddled my mind enough to loose my previous train of thought. So, until next time let Dragon-flies and Lightning-bolts fill your mind with possibility and provocation.

Carmen, oooot
