It's Over Between Us

Okay 23 Things it's over between us. I really learned alot from you but I am not sorry to see you go. Next time we meet I hope you come armed with a translator who can help me understand you better. Then our relationship will be even stronger and maybe I can even introduce you to my friends. Goodbye.

Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg has actually got some books on it which are retrievable. I tried all the others to no avail. They had never heard of John Grisham or Harry Potter. Inconceivable.

Podcast-Schmodcast

I went looking for a podcast and what did I find? Not much. I found it all very difficult to use and irrelevant to my lifestyle.

Oscars for Library2.0

So, what I want to know is what will 2.0 be wearing on the red carpet this season?

Online Word Processing for the average bear

How great that the average bear can access online spreadsheets and word processing.
It makes the internet truly a practical tool.

Wiki here and Wiki there

Wikis can be very useful if you are working on a group project of some sort and everyone can go to the same site to post ideas and questions. But as a source of information I think they're just too suspect.

It's just delicious

So, now I know all about tagging things. I have tagged my own blog and tried to lure unsuspecting readers in to my web. Unfortunately I see that some wacko person in Canada has tagged his site for anyone in the world who types the world avatar into his/her site. Then this Canadian feels compelled to comment. PULeeze. This is why I do not like the whole internet "thang." No privacy. No thanks.

News Feeds

I think it's great to keep up with the times: the New York Times, the L.A. Times and maybe even the London Times. But you know what? I still don't have time to read these feeds.

rss feeds but who's hungry?

Sorry about that title but it's late and I'm just trying to get this done. I did set up a bunch, a gaggle, a whole herd of rss feeds to my bloglines account because that was the assignment. And guess what? I haven't checked them - not even once. I simply don't have time.

But I'm starting my own website and I have asked my web developer to include rss feeds from my site. Folks will be able to get the feed from the entire site and also from various genres or age groups from within the site.

So, I see the value of it all. And once my site is up and running, maybe I, too, will have a chance to read some rss feeds.

Lifelong learning

As I raised my two children now ages 24 and 29, my husband and I always told them, try new things or TNT. Now that they are grown up we see them practicing the TNT method of living on a regular basis. It is very satisfying. They are truly life long learners and I believe in it myself as well.

As an Army wife, you find yourself constantly on the move and constantly re-inventing yourself and having to learn new roadways, new teachers, new coaches, new procedures for just about everything. It's very challenging and demanding but it keeps your mind sharp and it keeps you open to new things.

Lifelong learners all.
