Finally! Thing 23

Thank God for surgery! The only reason I finished "23 Things" is because I am stuck in a hospital room keeping an eye on my mom. Come on! It's only 4 months late.

This was an interesting process and a brilliant idea. I applaud everyone involved in this project.

I have to admit that I will probably not keep up with my blog. I would rather work on FaceBook...at least that way I have a captive audience. ;-)

My husband and I have recently discovered a Canadian sitcom called Corner Gas. We love it...so much that I stay up until 11 p.m. to watch it! My favorite episode is about blogging. I will leave you with a quote from Corner Gas.

"Why don't you start a blog? That way the whole world can ignore you."

It's only funny because it's true!

Thing 22

Thank you for reminding me that we need to keep informed. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the day to day business that I forget to take time to muddle through new technology. I have bookmarked the 23 things blog and plan to go back and dig deeper into some of the "things."

Things 18,19,20 & 21

I have been YouTubeing, FaceBooking and WebJunction-ing for years. I also am LinkedIn. I like to keep my professional networking separate from my personal social networking. Believe you me, my coworkers do not need to see the nonsense on my FaceBook page!

Things 16-17

I would have killed for the assignment calculator in college. I'm going to try and find a way to make this program work in my professional life.

ELM is a wonderful benefit to all libraries in MN. There must be a better way of promoting this to our patrons.

Thing 15 - Games

Games absolutely belong in the library! I have enjoyed watching libraries move in this direction.

Personally, however, I am not into online gaming and would prefer to get out of my chair and move around.

Things 13 and 14

I always love the thought of increasing productivity!! Backpack looks interesting. I will definitely take more time to dig deeper into that in the near future.

The director brought Library Thing to my attention a while ago. Very cool! I especially love reading a review of someone who didn't like a book.

Things 11 and 12

Love media sites, love tagging...just wish i had more time.
