Taking a breather

Okay, I've made it in short order to no. 20 - and I played catch up to do
it. Now I am going to take a little breather. Its fun to do this, but it
*is* time consuming if you get into it. You can start getting
lost in the mist if you follow my drift (pardon the pun!).

Thingy 20 - YOU TUBE!

Yes, yes, yes!!! My favorite Youtube video is:

http://tinyurl.com/yqancg (I tiny URL'd it, so it would fit
better in my blog.

I love this video, because as I say, sometimes life is like this!!

I love YouTube, and would spend alot more time on it
than I should if I had the chance, which I don't. (Besides,
my slow speed connection at home makes it a little
less than "instant" gratification...)

We could post videos of patron/staff interactions on Youtube
to show how friendly and people oriented we are, LOL. Or
have teens film and post as an exercise in learning how
to use YouTube, or teach adults for that matter a "how
to class". It would be alot of fun...

Thingy 19 - SEOmoz's awards

Well, I chose Craigslist, chiefly cause I love using it!

I mean, for one stop shopping social network cum newspaper
classifieds you can't beat it. I've already bought stove pellets
for my stove from Craigslist, and I've seen any number of
interesting posts for motorcycle leathers, which I might be
buying...

It just doesn't get any better for the bargin hunting
lover. Oh, and yes, its a great place to refer patrons when
they ask where they can "get some fill dirt?"...LOL!

The other award winners looked tempting too. I could
spend alot of time browsing that site!

Thingy 18 - Web based aps

This I must confess, I have already done!

See one of my earliest links - where I include info
on the Web Widgets story... Dec 25, 2006 post, in
my archives...

I found it interesting ... perhaps we can just ditch the
MS Office concept altogether... certainly gives you alot
more flexibility...and a less cluttered desktop!

Thingy 17 - PB Wiki

Of course, Peanut Butter Wiki! :) I did it,
and it was lots of fun...

I looove the wiki concept :)

Thingy 16 wiki, wiki, wiki

veni, vidi, vici

I came, I saw, I conquered. (The laconic despatch in which Julius Ceasar announced to the Senate his victory over Pharnaces. Pronounce the "v" as a "w")

So, wiki, wiki wiki everywhere!! I have an idea - use the wiki for
reader's advisory/interactive with your patrons (Adult summer reading for
example, book clubs for another...) I'm sure its been done somewhere
and is being done somewhere even as I write...

Anyhow, love the wiki concept, esp. love my www.wikipedia.org

Thingy 14 Technorati

Okay, Technorati seen and done, check. I feel
like this is a jigzaw puzzle sometimes. It's fun
to put the pieces together, and get that "ah ha"
insight sometimes as to how it all hangs together!!
