Twitter

I started a Twitter page.  :)
I have not posted anything, but have been following a few people that I have found and enjoy.

David Cook
Tony Robbins
Bookbitch

etc

Woohooo!

I got webpage to upload... :)

Flaming Text...saw this on another blog...neat

Webpage continued....

I cannot get to upload to server???
I called IT and they said I was doing correctly.

???


AAArrrggghh  !

Elluminate

No one showed last night...Iguess I am the last to finish.
Taking 2 classes in summer with work has been A LOT.

Webpage

Afrer admiring my classmates webpage or shall I saw webpages (as what many did) mine feels so simplistic. :(
I know a lot of people have mor experience....again..practice makes perfect.

I am having trouble uploading to server...it says it is but is is not.

Additionally, I can not get my publication document to load.  (sigh)

Color

Oooooh...color

You can mix it  up....a little variety.

Audio Blog

I downloaded the Audacity software and the LAME software to do my audio podcast.
There is so much more you can do. I managed to do the "basics" for mine.
I did it on the same theme as the other things...hurricane preparedness.
I decided to do another one...reading from Eloise with some music in background.
I am not sure about Copyright if there is music...I think I will turn in the basic one.
We'll see.

Update...I turned both in.

Additions

I added the fish...not liking...but will leave to show I did another gadget.
I also added the video channel gadget...I picked libraries.

Followers...

I have none...kindof sad to see...lol...but I havent' shared my link with anyone...
Actually I like the freedom to say without everyone reading or commenting (like FB),

Wiki Sandbox

I tried it, but it said it would publish my IP adderss as I did not have an account.
I waned to put a quote.


Life is a choice...what choices are you making.


The "box" is cleaned up ever 12 hours...not sure if that means it deleted or "patrolled"
or reset.

Interesting, but not something I think I would use, so I did not sign up for an account.

Web 2.0 Awards

May be 2 years ago but still neat...

I've used a few...Yelp and Zillow and a few I have done from this blog...the rest are open to explore.... :)

I cannot wait to have some free time after this semester for a few weeks.

Working fulltime and taking classes fulltime takes so much time.
Much more than undergrad...than again I was much younger.

Google Docs

Great idea...
Kinda like a wiki for "important" things.
It won a 2.0 award.
I am using as a way to keep track of miles for half marathon training with the group.
I log on and edit it and everyone else can see. :)
I like it.
I is good for editing or group projects.

Kindle Ebooks vs Print Books

This is from Charlie Parker:

Here is a great, very timely, and thought provoking cartoon from Jim Morin, the Miami Herald's cartoon wizard!

----------------------------------

Maybe we will become Kindlearians....

Research Proposal

Ugh....
I disliked statistic in college and 20 years later I am still disliking it even as applied to libraries.

Webpage

I learned in the elluminate session that I will need to use FUGU as the software to load my webpage to the USF server (we can use that one for free)....I will be using iweb (as suggested by a few friends who are MAC'ers.

This Class

I am enjoying this class....
Professor Austin understands that most graduate students have "other" lives and work full time besides going to school full time and that the idea is to learn... I will be happy when one of the other classes is done....no names....lol

Rollyo

OK...I am not quite getting this....or rather why use this versus Google....
I set up an account....let me keep searching...lol

I guess maybe on website?

I added search engine on bottom of my page...it is for web search using Google.

Library Thing

I created an account to be able to keep a catalog of my books online.
It is pretty neat....it could be time consuming.

I tried one...a book written by my boyfriend...It is called The Elixir. :)

I added My Library Thing as a gadgetso you can see book I added to my catalog.

You can search a number of different ways to look up books or add it manually.

I chose Amazon. Poof there it was.

I told my brother...the perpetual student and keeper of many many books about it.

He seemed mildly interested.

Old Spice, New Spice and Libraries

NYC Public Library

I was able to stop at the NYC Public Library (main location near Bryant Park on 5th Ave) during my trip this week. I had a whole new love and appreciation for it now that I am studying to be a librarian.

I will add some pictures.

Publication Module

I am not sure how to upload a copy of this to my blog....
I may have to ask someone as I have been unable to find.

Aaarrggh.....

It says unreadable.

Maybe I should save as a PDF?

That is Delicious.....I think I will book mark it!

I had heard of delicious in my first graduate class, but I was still wet behind the ears in understanding it. I still am.


Let's see...

Delicious (formerly del.icio.us, pronounced "delicious") is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. (According to Wikipedia)

RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.


I "knew" what they were...but I didn't"know" what they were...lol.

Now I "understand" what they are. :)

Bloglines

I created a Bloglines account.

"We track your favorite news, blogs, weather, and classifieds so that you don't have to."

Hmm...


I am starting with ones about libraries.

Librarian.net
Library Stuff
Resource Shelf
The Shifted Librarian

Oooh...I even made a link to it for others on my blog. Not that anyone is reading it....but just in case.

Can you see it? :) It is waaaaay down on the bottom.

I was wondering what all those sections on the template were for...lol.

I see it also has a mobile application.
I should try it for my iphone.

Ugh!

It's been a crazy few weeks with work and travel....I am behind. :(
