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.  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.

Week 6- Thing 14

Technorati- the best part was the link to Miss Teen USA 2007 from South Carolina's Video. The most hits this week. It does look like a quick way to find out what is hot, right now. It is always changing.
So on to other news, What about them O's. IS that sad or what.

Week 6- Thing 13

Well I looked at the tutorial, the replacement since the other is still disabled, it was OK. I'm not getting a lot out of Del.icio.us. Maybe I just not that interested in looking into other people's filing cabinets. I did check out some bookmarked sites, it was interesting but not something I think I will really use.

Week 5- Thing 12

After two days, or at least an hour or two out of two days, I have posted my rollyo on my blog. Creating the rollyo was not very hard, but somehow I messed up and had trouble getting it on my blog and working correctly. Don't ask what I did, cause I'm not sure. I'm finding that the "things" are taking longer as we move on.
I'm also having fun checking out other blogs and leaving comments. I even found a friend's blog who works for HCPL and is also doing 23 things. Blog reading can become habit forming.
