Thing 23

I can't believe it's finally over! What a relief.

Now my thoughts. I did really learn a lot about all the words I hear these days, like blogs, pocasts, etc. Now I kind of know what people are talking about. I really liked new researching tools. I liked library thing. I liked that recipe thing too. Actually there weren't too many things I didn't like. What I didn't like was that I had a hard time seeing how most of this would affect my job. Another thing is the amount of time it took and hour a week is not enough.

I do like lifelong learning and that is good, so all in all it was a good experience. I think it helped a lot of people in the library here. I would do something like it again, not not tomorrow!

Hope I win something!

Bye!

I am several peoples friend here in the library on Facebook since most people have already done this step. I have a facebook account. For this exercise I read the long article about facebook over forty. It was mainly about Zuckerman. Wow, that guy really lucked out! I don't believe that everyone in the world will be on there eventually, but it looks like several older people are on there. I think it said soemthing like a million a day sign up. Things I don't like? well, first of all i didn't realize I put my birthdate on there. I took it off. Secondly, I don't have time to answer everyone's pokes and be everyone's friend since I don't use the internet or email at home. I see why it fizzles out witht the younger crowd when they graduate - they don't have that much time.

For one of the exercises I checked out friendster. It was really just a bunch of pictures and not that interesting at all. Only a few people my age I found.

Thing 21

I went on podcast.net and checked out a couple of podcasts in the relationship area. To be honest it was like listening to a radio show and was boring to me. I then went to Yahoo to check their podcasts looking for a library one and it was even more boring. I didn't find a podcast I really liked. I do like listening to radio shows sometimes but tonight I guess i'm just not into it. Maybe when I feel like listening to something specific, this might be a good resource to go looking for it.

Thing 20

Did thing 20 and checked out YouTube. I looked at three videos. The first was a music video by I was a Cubscout - I thought that was the title of the song. I picked it because I too was a cubscout! I then checked out a how to video on making soy milk and then one on tofu. I picked these because i like tofu and soymilk ( or at least the thought of eating healthy!) The first was good the second one th guy making it messed up. I generally liked You Tube and found nothing I didn't like. I think that maybe these could be used in the library setting in posting how to video clips on library processes like how to research for a paper maybe.

Thing 19

Did thing 19. I went to farecast.com since I am hoping to head to California for Christmas. I really lkiked how you could see all the different fares for lots of airlines. What I didn't like is that it didn't include Southwest and Skybus (that I could see). I think it's use in the library would be mostly for saving the library money with all the traveling the library staff does!

Thing 18

Hey Diana,

I did the Google Docs thing. It looks very much like what I have available on my computer. I don't plan on switching. I wrote my self a note of encouragement to help me make it through the day. I emailed it, but haven't received it yet. I could sure use it right about now!

Thing 17

Thanks to some help from my friends I completed this thing. I entered my secret salsa recipe that I use a lot and entered my blog so you would know I was there. Six more things! Oh yeah, the FC is moving along. We will be moving in on Friday!
