I think I've done everything now, if getting started on Jing and Camtasia counts.
Just chatted with my daughter in Florida via Google Chat. I didn't know she used it but she showed up and was conveniently online. Handy.
I have really enjoyed Aur Things. Some of the Things are more likely to be useful than others, but they are a good introduction to social software, and some interact with each other. I was on Facebook before they started, but am finding it a good way to stay in touch with all sorts of people I haven't seen in a while. There are a lot of fun things out there.
I have downloaded the Camtasia Studio trial on my home computer, and have viewed some of the videos. I am working on a screencast, but it will take a little while for it to be ready for prime time. Camtasia looks very powerful but takes some learning, although they try very hard to help.

I like Free Rice, and the idea. Jackson Pollock is fun. Guess the Google is too stressful to be fun.
Skillport has an amazing assortment of classes, including some on Excel 2007, which interests me. Coverage is sometimes spotty for a particular subject, but there are assorted whole books as well as courses on a great many subjects.
I set up chat in Gmail, but didn't find anyone to chat with on an Sunday. I have, however, chatted on Ask Auraria.
