Week 10 - #23 - What? Already?

I Intriguing

H Helpful, hopeful

C Challenging, Calming (at times)

P Perplexing

L Laudable


A trip with many twists and turns, starts and stops, gasps of delight and surprise.
Hopefully I will use many of the things that I learned.

If not, education is ALWAYS a GREAT thing.

Hats off to the persons responsible for allowing us the opportunity to learn and grow.

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

Some sites offer audiobook downloading for free, like LibriVox. Other sites, like Wowio, offer free e-books. Take a look at these sites and compare them to what is offered by the library.

Checked out Wowio ... how cool is that. But, I am still of the opinion that I like real books.

Liked the look of the website ... it does "WOW" one's eyes. Saw a few things that looked choice.

"My Happy Life"

Week 9: #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

Word of the Year for 2005? Also on the list was Suduko and squick. History of the podcast was, in a word, boring , but read it anyway. Too techie for me.

Checked out the podcast directories. I looked at yahoo first and saw 99 cents next to anything I was interested in. Nope.

Movin' on to Podcast.net. Saw some Christmas podcasts that looked interesting so I installed an RSS feed to one of those. Got sidetracked to Jinglegram.com

Back on track now and on to the next exercise ... downloadable media!

Week 9: #20 Discover YouTube and other video sharing sites

This caused quite a commotion for my home town Other than union strikes, I can't recall an issue emotional enough to cause this kind of ruckus ....

Kinda proud of those kids for standing up for Ketchup and All It Stands For.

My bling - Part Deux

Found my bling.

In my mailbox.

Way in the very bottom

Imagine.

Thanks!

I haven't figured out the imbedded video part yet. A staff member suggested a video bar and that was something I had yet to add. So I did learn something today.

I know where the link on youtube is for embedded videos / just don't know where to paste it yet.

I guess I will wait until Monday and pick some brains for the rest of it.

Please check my bling.

I have rechecked my blog and homework. I have added a book to the hcpl wiki and my blogger site to the wiki.

Please, please, Powers That Be,
Be so very nice to me.
I want my bling,
this is not a fling.
I have ran out of things that rhyme
and I have no more time.


thanks ever so much ....

Week 7: #16 So what's in a wiki?

I have posted a book and my blog to the hcpl wiki.

check it out ....

Week 7: #17 Blog About Technology

I would love to blog MORE about technology. Being part-time, I don't have a lot of available work time to do explore more and grasp the concepts better.

When I attempt to work on this at home, my computer promptly freezes up and just as promptly kicks my off.

When this happens, I think, "this is technology? We have all these applications at hand but the computers between work and home are twitchy? What's that all about?"

So, on one hand I am lucky enough to be learning all these new, cool things. On the other hand, with all the improvements, just a bit of incompatibility will stifle your efforts to learn the new stuff.

To sum up, I am sailing down the super highway with a low tire, swerving all over the road.

H-m-m-m. But we always get back into the car no matter what the problem.

"My resume keeps getting weirder and weirder"

Week 8: #19 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops

Zoho writer. I can see where this would be a useful tool, as long as you want to take the time to learn it and use it.

Right now, I am on tech-overload.
