Week 8 Thing 19

OK this is getting fun now. I checked out Yelp. Got ideas for places to go on vacation. Best places to eat and stay. Looked up several cities, also had links to services etc. I also played around with Arcaplay, a free gaming site. I'm not much of a gamer so did poorly. Found a game between a cat and a dog. As the dog I threw bones over the fence and tried to hit the cat. The cat (controlled by the computer) was throwing garbage out of a can over the fence. Let's just say the cat won.

Week 8 Thing 18

WOW I exported my test page using Zoho's publish options. WooYoo. Lots of fun. Still miles of things to go before I rest. The month is flying by and I still want to win a prize.

test Document


This is a test document to see what features are available. I will take a look around and see what I find. I will change the color as I go. This can be fun.  Some  colors are  better than others. They are all good in their own way.kiss  Some features are more helpful than others.  I do like color.  This is the first cool day. May be the start of fall. This was been fun, but now I must move on,

Week 7 Thing 17

I went to the sandbox (kinda sounds like I'm a cat) and played around. It was fun adding comments to some of the wikis. I posted my blog on the Favorite Blogs page. The instructions could have been a little clearer. But I got there. Time is flying by, so many more things and so litte time. I will need to speed it up, to win a prize.

Week 7- Thing 16

Wikis- I do tend to use Wikipedia if it comes up when I'm searching for something. So far I have not gotten bad information. So it works. While I was exploring Wikis, I checked out the Bull Run Library. They have a service that for $20 a month they will send you 3 books, after you read or whatever two of them you send back two and get two new ones. There are no late fees and no shipping charges. But wait, you are paying $20 a month for this service. Is is possible that you are in fact paying for shipping and late fees up front. Interesting.
I also liked Book Lovers Wiki, a good source for reviews.

Week 6 Thing 15

After reading the perspectives listed for the discovery exercises, I'm not convinced that 2.0 will change the world as we know it. I don't think that 5 years from now libraries will be substantially different. It's kinda scary to think of teaching machines, and machines using people.
