23 things summery

As I was doing the 23 things exercises I found myself by turns frustrated not knowing what I was doing to elation when something worked out. I may of may not use most of what I learned but I know more about the Internet now then I have ever know. I also think the exercises took a lot for granted thinking people knew more then they did. In order to finish I had to come in on my days off and spend several hours working on 23 things. I really can't say that I enjoyed doing all of the 23 things.

e books

I have created an account on netlibrary. I found the site easy to use and down loading a ebook quick. Now when I have time I will try and find it and listen to it. It does has points over cds because you won't have the abuse of the cds get.

wiki's

Wiki is a creative document that lets a variety of people collaborate on the same document.
Adding ideas, editing an every changing document. I don't think a state wide library wiki would work because every county has their own policies and procedures.

pod casting

Sorry pod casting was just confusing. I couldn't figure out how to do the exercise. I did listen to a few pod cast. Now I have to find the recipe for orange blossom cheesecake. I don't think I will get the hang of posting pod casts. It just made my head hurt.

you tube

You tube was easy to use. I searched for videos and found what I was looking for. I wanted to find out how to upload a video that appeared to be easy to understand and use but as I had no video to upload I could not continue. This might be a useful tool in a library setting as it is easier to show someone something as a oppse to trying to discribe it. As in horse vaulting. How many people know that gymnastics on horse back is a sport and what it looks like.

Gymnastics on horse

I choose this video because I didn't think many people know about horse vaulting

2.0 Awards

I tried a travel site called Farecast. I was able to use a multiple city search for flights. I like the way it listed times and lay over delays. Also if prices might rise or fall. I would find this site very useful if I were planning a trip. I could see using this in a library setting for plotting an escape when SRP gets to be to overwhelming

Meeze



This is the meez I created. I am very slow at learning how to do this techon stuff.

zoho writer

I was able to write a document add a picture then post it to my blog. All in all was fairly easy to do.

Zoho Writer

Several HCPL employees were spotted recently at a local Aberdeen hotel and nightclub. Some were there attending Martini's Funarama Convention. Others were there for the night life. Fun was had by all. Can you guess who our bartender was? He mixes a really great singapore sling.


meez

I finally figures out how to get my meez to my profile on the blogger. Woo hoo.

I have finished the exercise on Maryland sand box. The direction for add blog name to favorite page was a little confusing. All I had to do was hit edit page.
