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.

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 ....
