Open Source

Wow, working together with new ideas, communicating, and sharing technology through the web around the world is definitely great open information. Here, at the library we use wikis to share stats, and information on what each dept is focusing on. It was very interesting to learn about Answerbag and Yahoo! Answers, I did ask questions and sure enough got reasonable answers. I'm sure there will be much more software for Open Source, looking forward to finding out whats next.

HEALTH, WELLNESS, TECHNOLOGY, OH MY!

I never imagined in a life time that working out could actually be FUN. I must admit that although I don't work out at all, I would definitely exercise with a Wii Fit. I've played a few games with Wii like the tennis, and bowling, and even playing those games I'd get tired from moving around so much. But it is indeed a lot of fun. That Nike/Ipod connection is just awesome, it must really benefit runners, unlike myself I'm not a runner at all but I'd definitely like to use a pair. The Wireless Ipod Remote is really cool, and well designed. Technology rocks! Just what the world would do without it!

READY, SET, GO, 2.1

Well, we are at it again with 2.1! I guess I'm ready eventhough I'm not much of a blogger. I took a little peek through the course and so far I think I'm in. Although, the Blogging Song was stuck in my head all day. I did like the video BLOGS IN PLAIN ENGLISH, it was a cute explanation of how blogging works, from one blog to another to linking and commenting. I guess Blogging took over the pen and paper days! Okay, I'm ready, let the blogging begin again!

DIGITAL MEDIA

PODCASTING, how great is that! I just love the idea to be able to download an audio book. LIBVIBE, is really neat reading library news around the world. I will definitely make use of downloading books and music, and all the digital media possible to my new mp3.This was an amazing journey to a new beginning!

MUSIC WAVES

What about all those copyright laws? It was amazing to know that playing a particular song on a personal video or presentation can cause a problem. Well,hopefully everyone can read about copyrighting before searching for that certain song to record! LIVEPLASMA, really cool what a better way to listen to music. Another one of my favorites is PANDORA, check it out!

DOGGIE WORLD

Exploring FUN is great! I just became a huge fan of Dogster, especially for my chihuahua Lola. Reading the Doggie Diaries was hillarious. My Lola will definitely have her own writing page. This is a very cool site with plenty of pet information, as well as viewing cute photos, and funny videos.

FLICKR, FLICKR

Ah, the amazing digital world of Flickr. It's so cool that I can organize my photos and share these images with family and friends. I will definitely make good use from Flickr!
