Thingy 21! Podcast

I view podcast all the ime on www.newsarama.com. Most reacently they had coverage of the San Diago Comic Con. I feel podcast are usefull for giving directions to those who would find reading long directions boring. I also get podcasts on my Zune and view them on it all the time. I like video podcast and think audio podcasts are a pain.

thing 20 Youtube

I love YouTube. I have an account there and I look at videos on it all the time. A friend of mine refered me to the one called the Angry librarian and it sounds just like it was from our library!

I laughed so hard!!! So did my student assistants!

Thing 19!!!! Google Docs

Ok, I have now uesd Google Docs. It is set up just like Microsoft word and is in an easy to read format. It is easy to figure out what to do on it. I don't know when i would use this thing but I now have one. My friend Jason might find it interesting but since he loathes anything microsoft, I doubt it. Now I am off to blog thing 20 now!!!!

Thingy 18 Wikis

Ok, I loke wikipedia.org. i go to it for all my comic book and music needs and any info I want to know about. We have a saying here at work amounst my co-mworkers whom I am friends with. "You too can be a librarian with Wikipedia!" I have contributed to a few wikis already so I know how to do that already. For example I corrected a papragraph on the page for DC Comics' Red Star. There are a few other ones I have done so as well. I have seen many with captions saying there were problems with the entries, for eample. Some told plot lines only and didn't tell the history of the character in general,etc. I almost always refer to wikipedia kinda like my hero on the Office: Michael Scott!!!! LOL!!!!!

Thing 17 Libworm

Libworm is yet another RSS feeder. It is interesting when you have need of that sort of thing but as with most of these things I am starting to be overwhelmed with items that do the same thing. Yes i understand the need for these and choice is good. I looked up dragons and got several hits, not so with buffalo soldier. I guess its on with the next thingy!

Thing 16 Librarything

I like this site. It is yet another social site but it differs in that its draw is books. I have been a voracious reader since I was in 5th grade. I read every book our school had on vampires and scared the snot out of myself untill I was in Jr. High.(You can thank my cat too, who used to scratch at my window when he wanted in!!!) I added my favorite book Dracula, of course and then the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth Series. I also added the Elric Saga too because i am a huge Moorecock fan as well as McKiernan too. Where I am already a member of so many social sites now I can hardly keep track of them all (and have forgotten a few). Well I guess it on the blog the next thingy!

Thingy 15 Digg

While I didn't sunscribe to Digg, I did read a few articles. One was about the Dude Phenomenon. It was about my favorite movie and cult classic the Big Lebowski. It has now eclipsed the Rocky Horror Picture Show ith that status. I also read one on the Clinton's trip to Africa, and adds that make you think twice a bout drunk driving. I didn't think the adds were so bad but having been in that type of trouble myself i steer far away from repeating the mistakes of my past. Yet more to write, stay tuned.
