The topic of video came up because online booktalks are cool! Thought I'd play around with posting video and so found this cool clip of my puppy a few years back trying on booties to protect his little paws from the snow. The hope was to get him to play in the snow, but as you'll see, he didn't go near it. He seemed so much happier to be outside in the cold with the booties on. Fun!

Winter is here...
I winterized my avatar. I guess it's time to admit that winter is finally here. Shoveling the driveway will do that for ya!

Shelfari
A friend of mine was using Shelfari instead of Library Thing. No limits, as far as I can tell, on how many books you can add! Pretty cool. And you can see my shelf of what I'm reading now on the left side of my blog here. I'm trying to decide if I can use this somehow on our library website. Hmmmm...

Froggy finds Thing #23 liberating
Hah! I finished! I seriously didn't think I'd get through all 23 things. Now that I'm done, I wish there was more. I will definitely make it a higher priority to keep up on new technology.
I already blogged a bit about my experience in my last post. I will say that my favorite things were Flickr, Digg, and Facebook. I had no idea how many of my friends were out there on Facebook! What fun. I actually found several old buddies from high school and college that I've lost touch with over the years. Great stuff.
Here's hoping this is just the beginning and not truly the end!

Froggy finds Thing #22 inspiring
I have to keep this up, huh. Well, I guess.
First of all, I'm going to find out who else in my library has finished the program so that we can chat about everything. I have to say I learned a lot. As part of my resolution to continue, I'll work towards actually using many of the tools that I did find useful. It's a bit overwhelming to put it all together. And I have to confess that I kept at it with Bloglines and like it more now. That was one of the things that I just struggled with, and complained about, in my blog. After I kept with it, it wasn't so bad.
I had originally thought I might turn this blog into a children's reading blog for grades 3 - 8 to talk about all the books that I'm reading for the Maud Hart Lovelace Award nominees. But since I have to keep going with this one, I guess I'll just have to create another blog. Or just use LibraryThing. Something to discuss with my supervisor for a fun task. I've hit babble now. Will stop.

Froggy finds Thing #21 a little bit of old, a little bit of new
I'm sitting at home with a crummy cold in front of the tv with nothing to watch, so thought I'd play around more with the 23 things. Yes, I have a book sitting next to me too, but my eyes hurt. And my head hurts. I'm not sure how looking at a screen is any different than looking at pages in a book, but it doesn't seem to hurt as much.
Thing #21: I read the two articles, which seem to validate what we're hoping to learn by doing the 23 things. Get out there in the webspace as a library or librarian and make it work for us. Sounds good to me. I joined the 23 things ning, put my picture up with my cutesy little girl when she just turned a year old. And posted a comment on a couple of co-worker's pages. Hi Louise and Pam!
I looked at some of the other sites that were listed. I'm gonna have to find a scrapbooking network out there somewhere one of these days. I had joined WebJunction a while ago. One of my colleagues is always sending out articles from the site. It must be a great way to share information. They've just undergone a total revamp of their website. I need to set aside some time to explore all the changes.
That means, Thing #21 = done!
