Thing 10

Thing Ten..... This "thing" was a bit more familiar to me as we have a staff Wiki that I am used to navigating. I can see where this is very helpful and useful. I played around in the Wiki sandbox to get a feel for editing and adding items. As for banning Wikipedia, I can understand the necessity if items are being changed and altered in context.

Thing 9

Thing nine put the fun back in 23 things. I found Google Docs easier to use. I also really enjoyed the editing done to the founding fathers document. All they needed was a bunch of librarians to help them. Bet they are rolling around in their respective graves about now.

Thing 8

PictureTrail - Online Photo Sharing, Personal Homepages, Slideshows, Image Hosting I hope this is a link to my "slide show." At this point I am not sure what is where . This post has been an exercise in frustration for me. I can understand where it should have been fun, but I got stuck in the "mosaic maker" and could not get past setting the border and background colors. After six tries I gave up and signed up for yet another account and got this far with a slideshow. I'm sure it should have come out better than this, but at this point I'm willing to settle for this. If I had to do this sort of thing for a living I would have to have LOTS of training or find another job. I will certainly never qualify for a member of the Geek Squad!

Thing 7

Lots of reading and listening involved in thing 7. I am getting used to communicating via e-mail at hte library rather than by memo. I still find myself jotting notes from e-mails as reminders rather than sending myself a "reminder note". I am amazed at the speed at which most people are able to text message. It takes me for---ever just to enter a new contact number into my cell phone. Maybe if I could find the backspace button??? I have attended a few webinars as training sessions. As an attendee they went very well. As a presentor I would have LOTS to learn.

Thing 6

Again this would have been a bit more fun if I had used something more appropriate than a picture of water lillies, but as I have mentioned before, I am using what is available to me.

Thing 5

This is a Bead art picture that I created at the
big Huge Labs Flickr site. I would have liked to use one of my own pictures, but I work on a shared computer. I have been asked not to download anything more. So I am working with whatever is available on the computer here at work.

Thing Four

I chose this picture because I have very fond memories of hiking around Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park when I visited my daughter who lives in Maine. It was a beautiful summery day. We rested on some sun-warmed rocks and drank blueberry juice. None of the pictures I took caputred the beauty of the area nearly as well as this one.
