Week 4 -Thing 8

I really enjoy RSS feeds. I like them because they save me the trouble of finding info. I will def keep using this in the future.

PS. sorry i missed this post.

Week 9 -Thing 23

WoW! So, here it is - my last post for the "23 Things." It's been fun. I have really learned quite a bit from these different steps. I really enjoyed blogging and rss feeds. Youtube was also one of my favorites, but I already knew how to use it, so it wasn't anything new. There were certainly some steps, like Rollyo for example, that I found to be a little hard to understand and I could not picture myself using it all of the time.
After completing each "thing," one thought has stuck in my mind - Do not forget the traditional library. I think that it will be beneficial for libraries to go mainstream and to keep up (technologically) with the time, but the old, classic, orignal system can never truly be outdated and should never be forgotten. I hope that this never happens. I want there to be a place for me to bring my kids to read books with them and share a special time with them - just as I see parents do with their children as I am working.

IN CONCLUSION, these tasks have been fun and, for the most part, worthwhile.
~Good times, good times.~

Week 9 -Thing 22

I think that this whole "downloadable books" thing goes right along with modernizing the library and its methods. Patrons can now just access audio books from their own computers. This seems really efficient! I can definitely see this working for students in school.

I used the Project Gutenberg site because I did not feel like making another account for these 23 Things. (lol). I find it very intriguing that so much is available online these days. Just a few years ago, I would have never imagined such accessability! This is really cool! The world is being brought together through the internet. Everyday practices are becoming much easier and more efficient as well.

Week 9 - Thing 21

I'm a fan of rss feeds! I had forgotten how cool they were until I went back into bloglines. I remember I really I enjoyed it when I was first introduced to it in the first couple week of this thing, but I hadn't really used it since. I think it is cool that I can have podcasts in my rss feeds. I mainly looked into music and sports though. It's really interesting stuff.

RSS Feeds and Podcasts definitely are ways to keep sharp on subjects that interest you!

Week 9 -Thing 20

THE STARTING LINE!!! must I say more?!?! April would agree with me when I say that I do not, but I shall. I LOVE THIS BAND!!! This is why I chose this video! It's their newest video. This song, Island, is off their new album, Direction, which came out on July 31! It is perhaps the best cd ever created!



So, I decided to bless you all with another fantastic video. I think that this music video is amazing!!!! This band called The Color Fred. The frontman is Fred Mascherino...the former guitarist and back up singer for Taking Back Sunday. This video is really good. It's really well thought out, put together...yea...it goood!

Week 8 - Thing 19

And the winner is......PANDORA! This site is fantastic! I've used it at home on my computer and I love it!!! I use it to listen to Franks Sinatra, and the similar artists and songs which pop-up on my playlist. I have heard some fantastic songs through Pandora! I do love it so! (If you could not already tell.)
So, in short, if you have not checked it out, check out Pandora!!!

Week 8 - Thing 18

So, I think that this whole document-creator-online thing is also really cool. I think that it is good to know about this site because this site will make emailing papers to teacher (now) and professors in college if I need to. I used Google Docs and found the interface to be very similar to Microsoft Word, so it was very easy for me to use. I actually quite enjoyed #18!
