Wikis -- Week 7

I love Wikis, I"m sure there are many ways to use them that people haven't even thought of. We used them at the gaming conference for everything. Here is the Wiki for the gaming session. See even I participated. :)Gaming Wiki

Corey has a new favorite wiki that I secretly look at. ( I wouldn't want to admit he found something super cool now would I?)

Library Blogger @ ALA

So I went to a session at ALA featuring Michael Stephens who writes the blog Tame the Web. He rocks! He kept talking about James' old stoping grounds in Charlotte, stating that they are the way libraries should be. I highly recommend checking out his blog as he has some great insite.

Week 6 -- Web 2.0 Comment

So I read the entry on Web 2.0 and some perspectives. The last line stood out to me most -- But no matter which side of the debate proponents fall, both sides agree that libraries of tomorrow, even five or ten years from now, will look substantially different from libraries today.

I can't help but think back to the futures conference I attended. The information world as we know it will be pretty much non-exsistant. Many are predicting the end of the PC as we know it. Instead computers will be a part of us, in our clothes in our cars and yes, maybe in our bodies. I wonder if our profession will then become obsolete, or if we'll still be needed to navigate information.

7 1/2 Week 1 -- Catching up

Sooo,

My hardest thing would be habit 7 1/2 Play. I hardly ever make time to play. I'm always busy doing something. I should learn from my 2 year old and just have fun, and maybe on occasion drive those around me a little nutty in the process.

The easiest for me would be using technology to my advantage. If I can find a shortcut with technology I do. Technology is such a part of my everyday life, that my husband and I both laugh at each other as we are both on our laptops, while watching downloaded content from the Internet on our flat-panel television.

I constantly say to my husband...maybe we should explore Buddhism and he reminds me that we could not give up our technology.

Technology 101...

I must admin I'm a techie by association. My husband is CRAZY, maybe because his job depends on him know all sorts of technology, but, seriously our house looks like (as someone said at LATI) an apple store. If you can name it we probably have it in our house, and we probably have for years.

Our first digital camera 1994
Our first DVD player 1998
Our first MP3 player 1998
Our first TIVO 2003
Our first Apple TV 2007


So as you can see I'm always on the cutting edge, but it isn't because of me...it is because my husband has a sickness....LOL....Actually it is very helpful in my job!

Howdy FCPL folks. I'm finally catching up on my 23 things! I'm pretty comfortable with flickr. Corey and I have had a site for quite a while, and while it isn't up to date. It is full of images!
