what's open on my desktop

I'm using google Chrome for my browser. One of many things I like about it is how easy it is to keep multiple windows open. Most mornings I start out with my UNCG e-mail and Blackboard. I also have a work e-mail and a personal one. I know that I could forward them all to a single address, but I like keeping them compartmentalized. If I ever start using my UNCC e-mail then I think I will have to break down and consolidate. My husband just purchased a domain name for our family: hankins-clt.us. I expect we will all end up using this.

So my first tab is one of my four web-based e-mail services open (UNCG), Blackboard, the class Ning, my blog, twitter, Imaginon, and the Charlotte Observer. I also get a weekend subscription to the paper so the Friday paper is waiting for me to read it. I think I may be part of the last generation that reads a physical newpaper. As someone said at the conference yesterday, it is easier to get information about events in Iran then about local politics. Why is that? My point to all of this is that my day used to begin with NPR, coffee and the newspaper. I didn't get online until after breakfast at the very earliest. Now my work begins and ends online.
