Week 5 Thing 12

Ok Rollyo is interesting. I created a search roll that includes all of the EQ2 game sites that I regularly use for finding new spells and quest help. That will definitely come in handy at home. I also played around with some of the other rolls and that was nice being able to search specific sites at 1 time. This could be a great tool for librarians to allow them to search google, amazon and other sites for books and reference help.

Week 5 Thing 11!

Played around with Library Thing. Kind of cool. Nice to be able to check out list that others with similar reading interests have created. Got some ideas of what to read next.

Week 5 Thing 10!

Ok now this one was fun. I Figured out how to add my Avitar to my blog and I also played around on M&M World and created my own M&M toon. This is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing around with these different sites. I guess being an online gamer and getting to create different characters and making them all look different depending on my mood makes thing 10 fun for me.

Week 4 Thing 9!

OK so I played around with Meriln. It was interesting, but I found it just a bit cumbersome to search through. I did enjoy looking at the different sites to search for different RSS feeds and what not, however I found the one on Bloglines the easiest one to use because I didn't have to know exactly what I wanted to find. Second Life is cool too. I even started playing around with creating an Avitar. Now onto week 5 so I can learn how to add it to my blog! Cheers!

Week 4 Thing 8 RSS Feed

OK so RSS feeder is interesting. It is kinda nice to be able to see what is new on friends blogs and news pages without having to check each individual page. It is a great way to keep up with what is going on with friends and for work it is nice to keep up with different work blogs etc. I made one of the folders on my bloglines account public. My favorite comic strip lo

Week 3 Thing 7!

Wow on a roll today, 2 things in a day. About time I started getting some of this stuff actually completed :D. Anyway, something Technology that interests me. Well I have to say starting at a new branch this week where I have to know how to trouble shoot Cybrarian and monitor it has been a good learning experience for me. Being Circ and coming from a big branch where the Librarians always took care of everything with the computers I had not had the opportunity to learn much about it. Even though I am comfortable with computers and use to work as a PTA (before Cybrarian) I never had the time to dedicate to exploring it. I think it is interesting all of the different software that we have to monitor and trouble shoot the computers and how we can do it all from our little information desk is great!

Week 3 Thing 6

Just a quick blog entry for this one. I have been having fun trying to decide what Flickr 3rd party sites and mashups I like best. I think so far the one I have enjoyed exploring the most is the flickr postcard browser it is cool that you could print out custom post cards before you go on a trip, or make your own with pictures you take http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/flickr_postcard_browser/ although just this morning I discovered a site that you can make puzzles out of pictures and that is really cool, could very easily become addicted to it :) http://www.flashpuzzlezone.com/flickr/
