tag! this one is fun

Tagging has been fun this week. The little movie, along with the written set of instructions, was easy to follow. (I still don't read lips.)

I set up an account in delicious - an easy one for me. The predicted interest of the social tags led me away from my work list today for more than an hour.

It seems that the tag cloud could be used in the same way people used to use a collection of notecards when gathering info for a project. They can be moved around, re-organized, and listed in different orders of importance.

The downside is that all the interesting sideroads may slow down one's timely arrival to one's original destination. (See paragraph two - I haven't finished this week's work.)

welcome to tagging week

Tonight I'm reading the intro info to tagging in between trips out to the library parking lot to see the lunar eclipse begin.

youtube again

Here are my last thoughts on youtube for now.
These could be really useful for many people if they showed practical things: how to change a tire, fold a fancy napkin, cooking, repairing small instruments; anything where seeing and hearing instructions is better than a little instruction booklet.
Podcastsd are stillon hold...on to week eight.

the youtube week

Looking around in Youtube is fun. I see that there's quite a difference in camera style and expertise. Some are amateurs, some are not. My computer doesn't have sound, so these are silent movies.
My customers show me youtube movies - usually of family members waving hello to them.

Podcasts ( last week is not over) still don't work for me - youtube does. I'll check both of these on a different machine.

This wek I've been reading about podcasting... and reading the techie blog w/ lots of info... and looking at podcast possibilities... and ...my computer has windows 2000... media player works ... nothing else...so I will test some of these things Saturday on a pub computer before the library opens.
Leson One again... my toolkit is not complete!

I'm a bit behind this week. Here is a link to my librarything. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/stackofbooks

I listed a variety of books. Four are favorite older books- Mildred Comfort spoke to my class when I was in first grade.
The new book is one I want to read.
I tried to list a book that is NOT in librarything. Negative tests are fun.
