When consider a blog name that was anonymous, yet uniquely to me, and also trying to include my last name somewhere in the title of your blog my choice was a relatively easy one. My last name is Brown and several years ago I was in charge of running a summer camp. At camp they sang a song “Brown Squirrel, Brown squirrel, Shake your bushy tail” (I’ve also heard the same song with Grey Squirrel) whenever I walked into the dining hall, or when I was out and about, sort of a running camp joke. The assignment was about the “23 things for teachers” (I know, not very imaginative or creative). Put them together and I came up with the partially imaginative blog name. I don’t have Facebook, and don’t Tweeter, but creating the blog was still a fairly easy process (must be all the practice from LiveText and my MS III portfolio) . As I normally do I spent more time that I should have playing around (it got worse when I began to create my Avatar). Speaking of creating an Avatar . . .
As hard as I tried, my avatar looked nothing like the Avatar I remember from the movie. First there was no skin color option for blue and I couldn’t find how to add a tail anywhere (accessories?) In creating my Avatar I opted to make mine as reflective of my physical characteristic and personality as possible. The skin color was a slight challenge, but the blue baseball cap (couldn’t find one with the Titans logo), mustache and laptop are most reflective of who I am; the wild shirt (closest I could find to a Hawaiian shirt), shorts, and sandals of what I want to be (or more accurately of where I want to be).
