DONE!!!! I beat you

That's right thing #23 is here... I have to say I liked the learning experience. I was familiar with about 1/3 of the topics covered but overall it was indeed beneficial.. I had no idea there were so many generators!!! I love them....never knew how to tag, and del.icio.us is very useful!!! Podcasting was also fun, I hear about them all the time but never took the time to see what they were all about... Oh and librarything is nice as well.... Although, as I moved along I began to notice what an impact the Internet has on all of us, and how it is possibly inhibiting us from life... How everything we need is here at our convenience on our computers. we hardly need to leave anymore except to maybe go to the bathroom. It's quite frightening how easily we all now have the opportunity to live through a computer. Instead of going to the neighbors, vacationing, visiting distant relatives, or a library we can logon and "live".... I remember when I was younger I swore to my friends the idea of computers & the Internet were created by aliens to trap our minds, preoccupy our brains to block out the world around us... Is this rambling, I'm sure it is... But as i went through these exercises it became more apparent to me how easy it is to rely souly on a computer... Anyhow, it was a long journey and I did enjoy being introduced to new things.... The End................... for now : )

Audio Books

Never done an audio book before so i thought this would be a fun venture for me... I was not to impressed with the PDL (Phoenix Digital Library) though : ( ...... Everything I wanted was either non existent, or was checked out... So I decided to try something new... New Age to be exact... it was a book called "Igniting Intuition" which I thought sounded interesting to me in trying to find my purpose here on Earth and to help cope with these new womanly hormones I'm experiencing.. ahem... anyways, I think it was a little too "old" for me, wasn't really what I was expecting... I'm not experiencing back pain or other common woes older woman face, but I would definitely recommend it to my later self... Still it was nice to try out an "audiobook". Luckily I ran into no problems downloading OverDrive and getting my books, it turned out to be very easy.

Thing 21, I'm almost done!!!

I used Learn Out Loud....I signed up for the NOVA podcast, it seemed most interesting to me... I love NOVA & PBS, so I'm looking forward to using this podcast regularly in the future and possibly subscribing to a video cast if they have one... here's the link

You Tubin'

You've probably seen it, but its a great song & probably the best music video I've ever seen

Thing #19

This was neat... I love music so of course I used one of the music themed Web2.0 tools.... I went to http://www.pandora.com/... This site was very cool, you can basically make you own radio station out of you favorite songs.. Then they take the music you like and try to introduce you to new music which I like ALOT!!! They were very accurate as far as other bands I would like.... I can see why they were awarded #1 music tool/site... check em out

GoogleDocs

I created an account with GoogleDocs and posted a teen reading list I had created here in Knowasis.... It's a rather large document so I'll just post the link... Well that's all for now here's the link... http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddbh3r6s_1cth5cwfg

Thing #16 & 17

I got a little lazy on posting to my blog... I actually just finished #19.. So I'll try to refresh my memory.... I found the wiki's to be useful.. I like that anyone has the ability to update the site. The draw back, unfortunately, is the reliability of the information posted... I used to use wikipedia all the time until I found out just anyone could update it. I went to the SPLS wiki & posted my blog and added my favorite sushi restaraunt Ah-So to the restaraunt page...
