databases

Yeah, this is my last task. I only waited to the last minute-oops.

I will have to remember this site for when patrons come in, need help, and we do not have any books on the subject.

I checked in ebsco about abortation in India.

This is a very helpful site.

task 17

Wikis.

I am indifferent to wikis-I don't like them but I don't hate them. Part of the problem could be that I should have completed yesterday and i couldn't figure out how to post it-frustrating! I justed wanted the task to be done.

Go big blue!

tasks 21 & 22

Thanks Emily! You spent time and energy getting us ready for these new technologies. I am now familiar with topics that I had only just heard about. Blogging-what is that? It has been fun.

task 19

For three years I commuted to Lexington and books are on tape are great. I found that the key to a great audiobook was the reader. Do they put you to sleep or do they create a world that you can join? I noticed on librivox that you could also search by the reader, so once you found one you liked you could listen to them again and again.

Why I want a mp3 player?

1. I already have a digital camera
2. I have no need for PDA- I would spend all my time creating things to do to put in my pda
3. My friends have them and I'm jealous
4. It will motivate me to exercise

task 16

Web Awards.

upto11.net (music)

I found out some info I did not know about Elvis-I'm surprised.

And I love this quote "Before Elvis, there was nothing ". John Lennon.

task 9 & 10

Flickr toys.

i had a hard time finding a picture to use. The only pictures that even remotely worked were the ones that involved drinking. Strange, I know.

flickr

I feel like I am in school again and I have waited till the last minute to write that paper. I have to keep telling myself to pace myself and not spend the whole night playing with flickr. Here is my Flickr address:

One task down 10 more to go!!

task 14

Google databases

This such a great idea, I am amazed that it took so long for someone to create it. I remember the group projects in college, where you had to worry if the person in charge of the disk would lose it. Now you don't have the concern.

task 15

Search Engines.

I tried looking something up using yahoo, google, and ask.com. I got the same results. I saw that a major complaint about google was because of all the advertising-I wouldn't have noticed if it had not been mentioned. I use yahoo because at home it is our homepage. I didn't see anything that would want me to change. However I did not see anything to make me say yahoo is the best either.

WOW WIDOW

Task 23

I had to laugh when I read the article about gaming. My husband is addicted to World of Warcraft (WoW). It is an online role playing that has been compared to crack!! I tried to play once- my character name is thisgamedumb. I really did try the game, but well it was dumb.

I am excited about game night it should be fun!
