Thanksgiving Daily

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of the year. What makes it so wonderful? How can we experience that more often?

Party in the U.S.A. ASL Video

One of my favorites :)

DanceSport

I competed in DanceSport this morning. It went great. My partner is **correction** WAS Dana Gibson. We had such a fun time. We made it past the first 6 rounds. But on the last elimination, we were among those eliminated unfortunately. Our teacher said a lot of it had to do with the fact that the judges were on the other side of the room. But all-in-all we had just a really good time, and we were thrilled with how far we got. I'm certainly doing this again :D So much fun!!!

Nerdy rant...

It is SO typical of Microsoft to provide a service that is really awesome and then not deliver. I hate Microsoft!

But how can I make a jab at Micro$oft if I don't make a jab at Apple? It is typical of Apple to make the computer so user-friendly that you can't do anything with it. And for their programs to act like a virus (thank you iTunes, you've earned quite a lame reputation).
And how can I make such negative comments about M$ and Apple without expressing my love for Google?
This morning, I was studying and chatting on the same document with 90 students on Google Docs to prep for our History Test, each of us adding content. I sent a free text in the basement of the Library where I don't get cell phone service using Google Voice, I read from my favorite blogs and uplifting content from LDS.org from Google Reader, and I'm using Google Chrome right now, which just works. I love Google!

iSayHi Message to members:

Hey iSayHi members! I hope everyone's still having great experiences with the iSayHi commitment! Just a few things:
1. iSayHi Shirt Sign Ups in by next week!
2. Redefine Service Blog
3. iSayHiAnonymousPickMeUpTexts
4. iSayHi Party November 20th (Provo Area)
5. iSayHi Buttons (We're getting them, just so you know :D)

1. So we have the shirts ready to be printed. Now we just need sign ups for them to know how many to print. We'll send off the order a week from this Monday. The shirt costs $7.50. If you want a shirt, there are a few ways you can go about signing up to get one:
- Online: By far the easiest is to order it online through the store gadget I made here: https://sites.google.com/site/isayhiweb/t-shirts
- Another easy way to order is filling out the following form. I will connect with you to get the money for the shirt through your e-mail address or if otherwise specified: https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGUxU1ZuX3plVUJTeG1TU25CeXQ1Rnc6MQ
- I will have sign up sheets around my apartment complex (Alta) in Provo, so if you're in my ward or in my area, you can just come sign up there (may as well just drop off the money to me if you do that).
- There will be sign up sheets in the Foyer before and after Men's Chorus, so if you're around the HFAC at 4:00 - 4:50 you can sign up there.

2. There is a blog for Redefine Service, created and updated by my dear friend Deidre Edmunds. Redefine Service is basically like iSayHi. Take a look :) http://redefineservice.blogspot.com/

3. We're still doing iSayHiAnonymousPickMeUpTexts. Just e-mail iSayHiMail@gmial.com with the name, phone number, and message and we'll send them a nice anonymous text from the iSayHi Phone number. It's an easy way to brighten someone's day!

4. For those of you who are in the Provo Area, we're doing an iSayHi Part on November 20th. We're going to do something special, so come and bring your friends, and respond to the event so we know how many to expect! Thanks! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149197425124869

You're all so great! Thanks a million for all the friendly-service that you do! See you around!
