Blogging was something I have never done before. Overall, I felt the expereince was good. It was a good way to express my opinion. i didn't really have any technical difficulties with it. I felt it was simple to use. Writing entries was practically painless for me because it didn't require perfect grammer or any specific format for doing it. We were allowed to write any way as long as the question was answered. Honestly, 250 words were no that hard to write at all. Most of the time the word count went over 300.
If there wasn't a deadline then no one would do it in a week. Nearly everyone ould wait till the last day to do all the entries. The amount of time given to complete the blogs was adequate and the timing worked for me since I don't like to do anythig over the weekend. Therefore, it was better for me that the blos were due Tuesday morning not Monday.
It was definitely good to read all the blogs. There are many people in the class (including myself) that don't talk too much. By reading their blogs I was able to learn their vies nd opinions about issues as well. It was good to also get their feedback to see what people thought about my opinions.
Blogging is definitely better than doind journals or essays. This way you don't have to be in cloass to submit it and don't have to wait for the professor to give their opinion. Also, its better when you hear your peers giving their opinion. I think it helps more.
I would like to continiue blogging but with a specific group. If there is a class or a specific subject then sure. I probably won't just blog without anyone responding or participating.
Overall, blogging was a good experience and I'm glad it counts for 400 points in the final grade. I have to admit they were easy points.

More gifts....
1. Bobble babes: Ok so this gift is sick. This special holiday bobble babe jiggles with the flick of your wrist. The Bobble Babes are made of neoprene to keep those drinks cooler for longer. Loaded with silicone boobs, mounted on plastic plate attached to a heavy foam bottle bra. What a waste and it costs $8.95! 
2. Each roll is 3-ply with 200 sheets. What a waste of paper and printing. Imagine how much electricity and ink are used to print these toilet paper that are disposed of after use. This costs $9.99.
3.The Tootin' Tush Angel has a bit of a gas problem. Switch her on, place her around the house or hang her on the tree and the small motion sensor in her hand will make her fart when someone passes. This little Farting Angel gets a little embarrassed so her cheeks light up with a reddish glow. How wasteful is this? And why do we need this???? The Tootin' Tush Farting Angel measures about 6 in. tall & 4 in. wide. Requires 2 AAA Batteries and it costs $9.95!

So, while searching for an unusual Christmas gift I found many things that I found were useless and wasteful. But I wanted to find things that made us lazier or tried to modernize our way of living. I also wanted something that requires a lot of batteries or light just to look good (Yes, I was working for the extra points). This is what I thought was insane:
1. Lighted Oval Mirror.
This product requires light bulb : 2 -25w B9.5 Cand F Incand
What I find insane is that this mirror costs $320.00!!! Just because it has a light next to the mirror.

.
2. Smart shopper- Electronic Grocery List Organizer.
This product records and prints your list of groceries or other spoken commands and prints them. It requires 4 AA batteries. Why not just use a paper and pen to make your list? It cost about $95.00.

3. Bright feet Lighted Slippers.
This product is a pair of slippers with lights so you won’t stumble over yourselves. What ever happened to turning on your light or lamp? The slippers are LED lighted and
each pair requires 4 CR2032 batteries. It cost almost $40.00.

While these gifts may not be straight to the trash I think they are pretty useless. If we just the conventional way of doing things we will realize that it is a waste of money and energy to purchase these products. Trust me anyone can live without them.
