ZoHo Assignment



Did you know that the first use of nerd in modern English is attributed to Dr. Seuss, whose zookeeper wannabe captured a nerd, along with a nerkle and proo, to exhibit in his menagerie in If I Ran the Zoo? Such are the factoids that my husband reads to me from TLS every five minutes while I am wasting my time doing mega-Sudokus.

I must say that ZoHo is rather SlowHo.
I tried importing my ZoHo doc to the blog, but lost the formatting. So, here is the photo I used of a sea otter, the ultimate anti-nerd.
I am quite a fan of the Google spreadsheet. It's simpler to use than Excel. Sort of the equivalent of DOS and Windows. I am sure that for professional number crunchers Excel is so worth it, but for someone like me, who basically wants to add and multiply and just occasionally average things out, it's great.
Both ZoHo and Google want you to get an account before using them. But both seem simple to operate afterward and a great way to save and share info on the web.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that, or I would have had one wet keyboard and screen. BWAH-ha-ha! If I fall off my chair and have to go to the hospital, it will be on YOUR head, EEB.

I had no clue what to write about for the Zoho project. After reading your post and seeing the otter, I thought of Monterey, Ca where there are lots of sea otters. All that led to California memories of Monterey, Carmel , and Big Sur and it was easier. Have been enjoying following your blog.Zoho was clunky at work, better at home.
