Week # 9 - Thing # 20

You Tube - I discovered You Tube awhile back. It's a good place to go for lots of laughs.

Week # 8 - Thing # 19

Web 2.0 Awards Nominee: I've bookmarked this page for further exporation. I recognize several but am definitely intereseted in discovering all these resource tools.

Week # 7, Thing # 17

Sandbox Wiki: Finally figured out how to add my blog to the list of Favorites.

Week #7 - Thing # 16

Wikis: I like how the Princeton Public Library uses the Bokk Lovers Wiki to allow patrons to post reviews on books.
I've added the URL http://instructionwiki.org/Library_2.0_in_15_minutes_a_day_Bibliography
to my favorites (and Delicious) to have as a resource for later.

Week #6 - Thing #15

The Machine is Us/ing Us is an eye opening jolt of tech reality.
In reading Mr. Anderson's Away From the Icebergs it sounds like he's ready to jump ship and discount actual books. When browsing for non-fiction books in our small libraries I find our collection too small, because contrary to what he says, the information, the DETAILS of a subject CANNOT always be found on the internet, but can be found in a book that I have to order ILL. Further, when reading a fiction , who wants to burn their eyes out on a computer, when you can curl up in a cozy chair?

Week #6 - Thing #14

I discovered Technorati and learned how tags work with blogs. I'll keep this resource in mind for when I need to do some serious researching and I'll register when I'm ready at that time.

Week #6 - Thing #13

Tagging & Exploring Del.icio.us - I definitely will use this tool. Excellent because I can access it from any computer and not ever lose my favorites again!

Week #5 - Thing #12

I checked out Rollyo but have declined creating an account. I do find it to be a very useful tool in searching for websites on specific topics, websites that I would not have found otherwise. In the future, I may create a account for genealogy purposes, recommending sites for Western Maryland Genealogy.

Week #5 - Thing #11

I explored LibraryThing and cataloged some of my books. I will suggest this site to my church as they are about to launch a library catalog of the books they have available. This is a great tool!

Week #5 - Thing #10

Well, my Genealogy idea is out the window.
I played around with some generators. I created a Sneaks cereal and Warholized Sneaks in his car. In the Harry Potter Character geneator I was placed in Ravenclaw. The generator was annoying because you had to click thru (skip button) about 10 signup for stuff pages. The Meez Avator is cool, lots to choose from.

Week # 4 - Thing #9

I revisited Merlin, but this time signed up for an account. Lots to explore: Learning Links, Web 2.0 Resources, etc. Looks like several resources will be experienced later in 23 Things. Maybe when I visit Trends & Cool Stuff I will find a "Time Warper" that allows me to warp the several hours of exploring into"15 Minutes" :).
