Step 23

I have completed all the 23 things and while some of them did interest me, I found that most of the things I probably will not use again. I found that having to register for all the different accounts was a little annoying. While overall this was not that bad, I would suggest that if someting like this is offered again, there not be so many steps. I found that it was a challenge met because once I started I was going to complete the steps. I will give HCPL credit for trying to keep staff aware of new technology and what is the latest in the information age. The bottom line is that I completed 2.0 Yahoo!

Step 22

I created a account and looked in subjects like sports and classic fiction. I did not try to download because I do not use audiobooks now and do not commute far enough too do this. Besides I prefer too read the old fashion way.

Step 21

I explored a little and decided to link this podcast site.

Step 20

I have look in You Tube before and am not really impress with this site. I did look again and here is my link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeBd_F2Bz5Y&mode=related&search=

Step 19

I used the Kayak.com travel site to search for airline tickets, the site was okay and I may use again. This time I had no luck with prices for seats but that was okay it was for a last minute flight. Hotwire had a better deal!

Step 18

I look around in this and used Goggle Doc. to write a poem entitled " I am Getting close to Finishing 2.0"



Getting Close to Finishing 2.0

I am getting close to finishing 2.0

I am so glad I don't have too far to go

I wondered sometimes what is the big deal about being so techno

But you know what I am close to finishing 2.0

Step 17

I tried to do this and when I got to the page to blog my favorites there was a note from ib saying that some of our blogs got moved around. I did not see mine I will check later. But I did get that far

Step 16

I read through the Wiki info and did find some interesting information regarding how some libraries are using them. I do think this is good for getting information out to staff and having them either correct, add too or give feedback.

Step 15

Some of the thoughts shared are very interesting. For example how much will libraries bend to allow access to certain things. We may come to a point where all access would be allowed to everything, even things we may feel should not be viewed in the library. And the sad part of this is because we cannot stand over someone's shoulder we may lose this battle because technology will and has allowed customers who are computer savvy to come through the backdoor. The balance of what is valid information needed or wanted by the customer, will have and has already caused discussion about at what point will libraries in some shape or form become censors. For example, now if someone's My Space page has music on it you can download through their page without belonging to ITunes, for example. Aside from all the techno stuff, how will jobs in the libraries continue to change and the more advance we continue to be, what will be the cost to humans. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out in the future.

Step 13 and Step 14

I looked around in this and I do use Tags, so it was okay. Step 14 was okay I did explore some to get a feel for this

Step 12

I created a Rollyo and may not use again

Step 11

I signed up and listed some of my favorite books

Step 10

I have played with this before and it is neat but I do not need all the bells and whistles

Step 9

I looked around some and signed up

Step 8

I signed up for ESPN

Step 6

I did fool around in Flickr. It was okay

Step 7

I kind of interested in all the techno stuff but worry that it is replacing human interaction. I just read a article today where someone created a robot boy who is named after his own 18 months son. The thing actually can follow movement with his eyes and mimic some facial expressions.

Steps 4and 5

I explored these and completed them

step 3

Played with kinda of cool

step 2

Completed

step 1

I read over step 1

Football is Back !!!

Yahoo, Football is back and I am ready for football. Unforunately my nephew's HDG Warriors lost Fri night and my son's Frostburg Bobcats did too on Sat. But it is only week one and going into week two I am hoping for better results.

The one bright spot was that my great nephew's rec team the Aberdeen Bulldogs won on Sat.

This week everybody is on the road HDG is in Joppa, Frostburg travels Pa and Aberdeen travels to Essex. I am looking forwood to three victories.
