Thing 23

Whew, what an experience.
Just creating a blog was exciting.

1. There were so many. Flickr, Avatar, Rollyo to name a few.

2. I never would have thought I would be blogging one day. I'm not afraid of technology. I was keypunching in 1964 and wiring machines to print those cards so I go wwwaaaayyy back. I think it is always good to learn something new, if you have the interest.

3. I can use this for my genealogy. It would be a fun project.

4. Some of the instructions were not clear enough and I couldn't follow them.

5. Yes. Anything that can help us keep up with technology would be a good thing. I'm afraid that when I'm eighty I won't be able to turn on my TV.

6. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Especially when there's a treat involved which is helping others learn, enjoying a fun project and perhaps using it both at home and at work.

Thing 22

I watched the tutorial for Overdrive but, since we can't download anything at work this is something I will try at home. Project Gurttenberg was interested but.. clicking on an authors first inital should be a first step and then the name should be broken down further. Your author would be easier to find.

Thing 21

I did a search for gardening in Podcast.com and found that I like looking at pictures not just hearing someone talk. It reminded me of when I was a kid and you listened to stories on the radio...The Shadow Knows!

I then looked at Podcastalley.com and searched for genealogy. There were a lot of hits but many you had to download.

At Merlin I found Westerville Public Library Pod and loved Tumblebooks. I added that RSS to my bloglines account. I think my granddaughter will love this podcast. This only went to grade 4. I would like to see something for older kids that may have trouble reading. It would be a great help since it highlights the sentence as it's being read. This is something we could do at BCPL.

Thing 20

OK. I found a video that reflects my German heritage. It makes me want to dust off my Dirndl and start dancing. However...the instructions for placing a video on my blog where not clear enough for me. I couldn't follow the directions. I will be asking for help again from my coworker. So stay tuned for some German music.
I think we could do some fun and informational videos about the staff and services at the library. I saw one while searching for something work related but I can't remember where it was now. I'll see if I can find it.

Thing 19

This was interesting. I checked out cocktail builder for my husband of course, and I think he'll really like it.

Thing 18

I like this concept. I'm going to try this again at home. I added a test statement but I can see where I can use this for my genealogy hobby.

Thing 17

This was confusing until I had help from a coworker. I added my blog to the page after a little guidance.

Thing 16

I looked at SJCPL and searched on genealogy which lead me to the Allen County Public Library and I hope to check this out again later. I also liked Book Lovers Wiki where you can read multiple reviews and maybe find something you don't normally read. We have a very nice homepage for the library and perhaps we could have wikis as an extension of the different resources available.

Thing 15

I found Away from Icebergs interesting since I am on a team that is rethinking the way we can better serve our customers and better utilize the space we have. Also, what will the future bring and how do we prepare for it?

Thing 14

I did a search on genealogy and came up with almost 30,000 hits. I find it strange some of the favorites...I'm so out of touch. Top searches was interesting...apparently I'm not one that cares about most of these things much less understand what the title is talking about. I am familiar with Desperate Housewives.

Thing 13

I registered with Del.icio.us and will go home to add from my favorites list. Click here to see the two that I could remember.
