Thing 17 - Sandbox

I had to go to the experts for help on this one. Though, when I got help, it appears that I was not as stupid as I thought. I was really only one step away from having figured it out myself. Yeah me! And - Yeah, Joyce - for helping me out.

Not my favorite exercise.

Thing 16 - Wikis

So, I found a website linked off of the Bull Run Library's wiki that takes a very humorous look at the librarian stereotype. I'm not a librarian, but I found it very clever and funny.

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Librarian

That's the link if you want to take a look.

I liked the Book Lovers wiki. This one looks great as a quick tool for reader's advisory, don't you think? I found a couple of titles listed that I would like to try.

Library 2.0 - Thing #15

I found Dr. Schulz's concept of Library 3.0 interesting. I think I like the idea of boks/materials having personalities and avatars of their own.

I wasn't too inspired by the other articles that I read. Maybe it's too late in the day. Maybe because it's the Friday before a holiday weekend. Sorry - no more thoughts.

Thing 13 - Del.icio.us

I found a site "Yarra Plenty Online Learning" that talked about a program no unlike out 23 Things. There was a photo proclaiming the joys of Online Learning and Web 2.0 from Australia. Very cool. The Internet does make the world much smaller.

I posted a comment to the owner of the blog (is that the right term?) encouraging her continued pursuit of Web 2.0 learning.

Rollyo - a dud

I guess I don't get it. It seems like a dud to me. Did I do it right? Sorry. I just don't see the attraction to Rollyo. Maybe I'm too detail oriented. When I'm looking for something, I don't have a problem finding it through Google or such.

This one wasn't a hit with me.

Library Thing

We heard about Library Thing at CUGM last September. Interesting concept. I would have never thought that there would be regular people out there wanting to create their own catalogs for their personal libraries. Here were my selections:

Is that an odd collection - probably. :)

My avatar

This was kind of fun. I could have spent hours creating new Avatars. They are a little more involved than creating Miis on the Wii. I can pretend that that is me now - in Paris and not in my cubicle in the basement. Allons a Paris!
