Thing 22 and 23

Net Library:
I already had an account with Net Library. I really like Net Library. I have downloaded books onto my MP3 player. It is fairly easy to use. I like the fact that you do not have to wait for a copy to be available. The list of available books is growing. Another great way to enjoy books.

This has been an interesting adventure. I learned how to do a lot of new things on the computer. I heard of some of this stuff but really did not know how it worked or what it was for . Then I learned about things I hadn't even heard of before. Learning new things is good. Some of the things I will use again and some probably not. And I now know more about the internet than my teenagers, who think they know it all. And that is pretty cool!

Some one told me about this some time ago. There are a lot of fun flash mob dances on you tube. I think they look like a lot of fun. That would be so cool to be a part of.

Card Catalog

I already use the card catalog a lot. It is so easy. I was glad to see how easy it was to get to the resources. Now one doesn't have to back out to the library's home page if they want to look something up while researching on the card catalog. Nice!

23 things blog on zoho

I like this web site. I think that it will come in handy. Sometimes I work on a document that I need to work on at home. This will make that job  a lot easier. The toolbar seems to be fairly user friendly. I just have to get use to where things are on this toolbar as compared to Word.

wikki spaces

I was some what familiar with wikki spaces because of using one at work. I can see even more how they can make life easier if you need to gather a bunch of information into one place so that a number of people can read and add to if need be. i did not make the connection to wikkipedia.
I liked the recipe wikki. If only I had time and energy to try out new recipes.

Delicious and Tehnorati

I can see how these websites can streamline searches. I especially like delicious. I work off of more than one computer and I have different things listed in my "favorites." It is nice to have the websites Iuse most listed in one place that I can access no matter what computer I am on.
