LIBRARY THING-Y

Great THING! I enjoyed exploring and adding my own books to my own library. I plan to continue using this one. Will be a good resource for readers advisory and to use as a quick look up when I can't remember the name of a book that I know I've read.
I will probably use this THING more than anything else we have done so far in 2.0

DELICIOUS?

Ok checked out the Delicious site. I recognize it could be very useful for reference librarians, not so sure I would use it as much. but it is good to know that I can check out sites that have proven helpful for others. I did really like the recipe sites that i found.

My MYSPACE... OH Yeah!

Got the MYSPACE up and running. Have friends, thanks Janell for the Josh pic, I can't believe that wasn't the first thing I did. gonna put some Leah pics up soon. Thanks to Barb for showing me how to copy the time stamp on my blog so that when I submit my info on the 27things progress log, I do it correctly.
Kinda like playing around with Myspace, but just like the last M&M in the bag, all good things must come to an end.
So I'm off to DELICIOUS??!!!! Wish me luck.

Why OH Why MySpace

Well, I enjoyed reading the blogs from librarians regarding the use of myspace and why it should/shouldn't be used as a library tool. My 14 year old has been using myspace for a while and I have to admit I spent the first 2-3 months looking over her shoulder, making sure that she was only talking to age appropriate folks, not checking out stuff that even I wouldn't look at. But lo and behold, she is only yakking to kids that she knows the screen name for.
She thought it was terribly funny that KCLS was having librarians and l.a.'s make up myspace pages. Then she gave my a list of names to check out when my page was up and running. Sheesh...the pressure. Now I have to make sure that my page isn't dumb or goofy cause she said she was gonna share it with some of her friends and I sure don't want them to think I'm not cool.
So, THANKS KCLS for the training, and I will keep you posted on my coolness factor.

FLICKR

Learning 2.0 next lesson. Well I started out thinking this was sooooo simple. I refer to FLICKR..
Anyway the next thing I knew I had setup a Yahoo account, downloaded pics, and even made a trading card (Josh Holloway) who else? It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I now have another web account that I really don't need. Oh well, At least I learned something NEW.
I couldn't figure out how to make my trading card accessible for everyone yet, but I haven't given up.

Josh Holloway



DON'T HATE HIM BECAUSE HE IS BEAUTIFUL !

Josh sent this pic to me just as encouragement. I was telling him how much I enjoyed his work on the show LOST, and how I really look forward to meeting him. He explained that he too anxiously awaited our meeting. Sigh!

Anyway, we have decided to meet up in Hawaii next month. We shall sit on the beach and read romance books together.
