Make sure you tell everyone you know about this event - I want a rocking Battle of the Bands!!!!

Time to try something new - I have wanted to use a three column layout for a while and I thought this was just adorable - I do need to tweak it and make it my own - so will be playing with it soon. Now I need to make a new avatar to go with the site - hmmm.

OMG - I should have saved the $10 bucks and watched this - it was better than the movie!

Ooooooohhhhh - new Wolvie clip - can I say I am looking forward to this film!!!

Yep go to Library Thing and make your own widget - lots of nice choices - I think this one will replace the one on the bottom of the blog - but I am posting it here to see if I like it before I commit.


- Now at the bottom of the blog -

Ahhhh - Finished - Survey in and I am done - please make sure you all check out Thing 16 post if you haven't - it is a nice finishing touch. Should have maybe used that video for Library 1.0 :-)

Time is always the issue when it comes to using these technologies - perhaps it is because so much of my work time is in front of the computer and since I don't have free work time to play with this stuff - it tends to get back burnered. I have found the blogging experience interesting - it and Facebook will be things I will keep up with, albeit not every day. Heck I haven't even had the chance to share Red Sox Spring Training and blog about the baseball season. I didn't want to mess up the pristine Things list (yes out comes the librarian in me)- but I am actually looking forward to blogging about other stuff.

Yea I love tech, I love all the widgets and gadgets - but after using them, and reading about them I often don't have a lot to say about them. That is the beauty of the Web 2.0 and on technology, it is easy and you don't have to be a coding genius - in fact often I don't care how it works just that it does. If I want to know I can usually find out.

Have added the WeReads widget to my Facebook profile to join the Visual Bookshelf widget and the OCLC WorldCat Widget that were already there.


I was interested in the Kindle debate - I still don't think it works for the library setting -
yet - too much possibility to legally run afoul with Amazon and the DRM for downloaded content could be nightmareish. I do like to see progress made on this front - but me - I'm holding out for e paper - someday soon to be in a market near you.

Project calculators - these were interesting and I can see the use of these for school projects and the UM calcultor looks fabulous for written assignments. I would love to see other project based calculators similar to Microsoft Project - in fact I am going to go look for something similar. Part two when I get back, let yah know what I find
