WEEK 8, THING #18....And now, here's something REALLY CUTE!!!

And now....back to our regularly scheduled program....

Week 8, Thing 18

Ahh, I find myself in Zoho Writer. Umm, yeah, ok, this is rather cool. I like it when I can just DO something on the 'net, w/o having to download anything. This is easier. Now, I AM wondering...who all has access to this?!?!? I am a private person being cajoled into writing a blog in order to earn a 'prize' that I'm not sure I can even use. Wait a minute, let me say for the record....I have very much enjoyed some of the things I have learned by this exercise. No kidding. Okok, I'll also say, yes, this has been rather interesting, the exploring I have done the past 8 weeks. And, No, I would probably never have done any of this exploring if it hadn't been for SPL2.0, all done on work time I might add!!! So, let me say THANK YOU right now. This has been a fun adventure.

...Thing 17

I went and played in the SPL wiki sand box!! Yeah, I think I could really like this wiki thing.
Go wikis Go.

Wiki Week Seven. Thing 16

Wiki Wiki Wiki. What's in a wiki? Anything and everything. What do I have to say about my wiki experience? Well, as behind the times as I am, I actually have read some on Wikipedia. When I have googled someone or something, I have been lead to Wikipedia. Someone had to exlplain to me what it was, but I grasped the idea fairly quickly and enjoyed the info I got from it. I really can see this as being a valuable and enjoyable tool for the Library to begin using. I think I might actually be interested in reading the 'wiki's' so to speak! I even like the idea of the Library being the 'hub of the community' by posting (wiki-ing?) community/library info/events.

I'm trying....just not too hard! Thing #15

It's ALL good learning, right?!?! I agree. It's just a triffle pointless for me in the season of my 'so called' ordinary life. LOLOLOL. Oh, I do crack myself up! I skimmed (barely) two of the articles....so many big words. I think Dr. Wendy Schultz used the biggest and least likely to be understood words. At least in the beginning of her article. I will admit I found her Library 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, slightly interesting in a second-life neo-library mind gym sorta way....blah blah blah..........Here's something REALLY interesting-a picture of me and my ADORABLE little grandson. ENJOY!!!

Run, run as if your very life depended on it....who needs Technorati, anyway?? #14

Run Zumi! Run like the wind!

Technorati, schmecknorati....What? Why why why? I ask you why? IF I wanted to monitor 90,000,000 people's blogs why would I have a job?!?!? I'd just stay in my jammies all day(and all night),drink a boat-load of coffee and stare at my computer screen...blah blah blah. Come on, aren't we still in the 'real' world here? No, wait, I don't want to sound negative.......it's just that, my interests lie elsewhere, know what I mean, Vern? Here's the thing; Technorati is easy to use, thank goodness, I could manage this one by myself. Whew! So, I guess the GOOD NEWS is, for you Technorati-types, it'll be all the rage, have fun, go for it......... I liked the flickr week better. Just goes to show ya, there's no accountin' for taste.

Hey, It's WEEK 6..YAY!!! Thing 13

It was del.icio.us...............I like the idea of being able to access 'my favorites' on a computer without my desktop. This exercise was simple enough that only 2 co-workers had to help me!! I give it two thumbs up!

It's still Week 5...THING 12!

Rollyo...not Rollo's, Rollyo...ok, cool. I like snow. I like to see pictures of snowy landscapes. I like to know where it's snowing! Now I can follow my own link (oh boy!)http://rollyo.com/maj/its_snowing/ and see those sites I have chosen. Whew! Amazing! whatever.......................!

THING 11 (and counting)

Librarything........ummmmm, perhaps not the most terrific half hour I've ever experienced. One thing I will say, I haven't thought about those particular books in a VERY LONG TIME! Here's a link to MY Library in Librarything....http://www.librarything.com/catalog/maj1007
Does ANYBODY remember these books????

Week 5, THING 10!

OK, I admit it...I am having some kind of fun with this! Who knew one could actually get enjoyment from THE GENERATOR BLOG?!?!? I should stop being surprised by this. I am spending time doing things I never knew existed before. Here's my creation, Duchess(for those of you 'in the know'....NO, this is definitely NOT a new chapter in the 'princess' diaries.) I know she LOOKS like an m&m................
