thing 23

So, this was all very interesting. Actually, i'll admit i did enjoy doing some of the activities, like the one on flickr, the podcast one, and of course, youtube (that was the easiest!!) some of them were very confusing and i'm not sure i'll use them again, but i'm glad i did this thing, because i learned a lot. so at least i'm not computer illiterate or anything. i liked the image gernerator blogs because those were fun. and i'm glad one of the activities was about rss feeds, because now when i go to websites i know what they are for and how to use them. So, all in all, i actually did enjoy doing this little 23 activities thing, it was educational.

This is interesting, I've actually never ever listened to an audio book but i think its cool that they have so many titles, right now i'm doing a search by subject, in the young adult fiction section. i've read a lot of these, so i wouldn't want to download them just to listen to them. oh, one thing i would download would be a language audiobook! so i could learn another language or enhance my spanish speaking abilities! right now i'm downloading a greek language audiobook, because i have a friend that speaks it, and i want to learn. oh its weird. its playing in my media player....it sounds boring. WOW its EIGHT hours long. i cant sit here for eight hours!!!! but its cool! i've already learned some phrases in greek!

thing 21

i actually dont like podcasts. to be honest, i dont always listen to the podcats on the learning2.0 blog site! i'd rather just read the information, at least when its given. i can see how podcasts would be useful for the library though. they can put them on the library webpage and use it as a help thing or when someone wants to find information or something like that. i added one with an rss feed to my bloglines thing. its called "What's New at the Lunar and Planetary Institute Library" i thought it was interesting since 1) it has to do with librarys and 2) lunar and planetary institute.

thing 20

i am so not a novice when it comes to youtube.com. its such a teenage visited website! i go there to watch music videos and my friends sent me links to really funny things. i dont watch it too much for funny things, i most often just go to listen to a song. i leave it up to my friends to send me the humorous videos. actually one of my friends posted a video of his sister singing in a talent show. it was cool. i wouldn't post a video of myself doing anything on the internet though! but yes, i am well acquainted with youtube. lets see what i can find to post.

i thought that was extremely cute!
i dont see how youtube can be used for the library. its more of an entertainment site as far as i know.

thing 19

i found the most awesome site from the list of web 2.0 awards. since i am such a big music person of course i click on the music option, and i go to one of the things that leads me to last.fm. its a really cool website, where you can type in an artist you like and it will give you samples of the songs. its streams them from a radio or something. and then it gives you a list of similar artists. i really like it! you can even built your own library of music and see what other people have. the only thing is i wish they played more of the songs instead of 30 seconds of it!

test document

 This is a test document. Oh thats interesting, you can do this --> x² and i like that you can insert smiley faces  

i dont have anything to write in this document! at this moment i am watching the food channel and its doing a biography on emeril. i need to do my geography homework. well i suppose i'll publish this and see how that works.

thing 18

So i'm using the zoho writer thing. its interesting, but im not quite sure what its purpose is for. i realize its used to create documents and publish blogs and things like that, but if i want to create a document i'll just use microsoft word! i know, i'm stuck in my old ways. so i just posted my test document from zoho in this blog thing. its interesting but not something i'd go out of my way to use.
