Week 3, #7 Technologies

Last year I learned about Skype which allows me to call my boyfriend through our computers and talk to one another for free no matter where he is in the world. Also, he sometimes calls me through his computer while I use the telephone. The phone charges are reduced this way. Skype is also used at several universities.

I think though the microwave and vacuum cleaner are still up there in my top 5 all time favorite technologies. And now, I'm very happy to have an iPod Nano as well. Much lighter for exercise purposes than my walkman or when I travel on an airplane.

Week 3, #6 Librarian Trading Card

So much fun!

I like the app that allows you to make fake magazine covers and the one that creates movie posters. I like what Mana did in creating a mosaic of library images from the Almaden Branch. The mappr site with a map of the US and photos posted to it is really pretty in my opinion. I chose to make a librarian trading card. Is it okay that I'm in my bike suit and not my librarian clothes? :)

Week 3, #5 Flickr

I love Flickr. Along with Smugmug. I love being a lurking browser or whatever you want to call me -- I love looking at people's fabulous travel photos. Access to images and to travel type blogs is super. I'm also shocked sometimes that people post what I would consider private moments and not for the viewing public - I'm not talking about dirty photos, I simply mean photos I would personally not share with others. I also appreciated the 3rd party apps. that allow me to be creative and to design posters among other things. This is a hoot.

Anyway, I thought I'd try KingLibrary as a tag and sure enough, various Flickr sets were retrieved along with a few false hits (not the King Library of SJ). I like this person's set of SJSU campus and the King Library photo.

Week 2, #4 - Registering and commenting on learning

I registered my blog.

Easiest habit: Accept responsibility for your own learning. I love learning and learning something new every single day.

Hardest habit: Actualizing goals.

First Week

First week. I listened to the podcast. I liked that there was text to follow on the side as well.
