Bloglines--Now that's usefull

Using bloglines to manage multiple new sites will be useful to me. It's nice to have things all in one place.

Oops, I did it again!

My weekend in technology can be characterized by monkeys on typewriters! Remember the saying that given enough time, a room full of monkeys with typewriters could type all the great works of literature. I feel like I have been banging away on my keyboard just like those monkeys with occasional results and lots of "typos". I've been trying to do a lot of tasks, like load my mp3 player with a podcast about France by Rick Steves, find pictures on my hard drive, and find an important attachement lost in my email. All these tasks for whatever reason have been difficult for me. I have generally achieved my goals by trying anything and not giving up. But it's so messy! And now I have lost the tabs and back button on my browser. Who knows why? How do I get them back? I love my back button.

A tree grows in the Library

Flickr is so smart! It seems like magic to move an image from the hard drive of my computer to Flickr to my blog. How does it do that?

Remember this scene from the Elkton library?

Thing 2 & 3

Things 2 & 3 are completed. 7.5 habits was an interesting take off on the original 7 habits. I had the pleasure of actually hearing Steven Covey several years ago. 7.5 learning habits seem realistic. It's hard for me to always think of problems as challenges. I think using technology to my advantage will be the easiest and most fun!

Oh, and as promised:
What I'm watching--Half Nelson ***
What I'm reading--the new Baltimore based mystery by Laura Lippman, What the Dead Know
What I'm listening to--Sugarland **** a great rolling down the road county album
And I'm happy to think Tony Soprano is alive and unwell in NJ ...and on and on and on.

And one more thing....

No one needs more things to do, but how about 23 more? Over 50 library staff members have said "Yes, I need 23 more things and maybe I don't know what I'm doing now, but I'm game to learn!"

I'm thrilled to be learning and bumbling along with the crowd!
