My score on The Golden Compass Daemon Test:

Shy Loving Soul

(You scored 10 Extroversion, 19 Sensitivity, and 6 Openness!)

http://panther.is1.okcimg.com/users/646/324/6463248183938708387/mt80484102.jpg

You are a sensitive and shy person. You want to be loved and liked, but you don't think people actually like you very much, and that hurts to think about. You like to be with your family and friends, who care about you. When you are with them, you can open up and talk and be yourself. Among strangers, however, you are nervous and tend to clam up. People are often surprised at how talkative you can be once they get to know you, because you appear to be so quiet and bland at first. You hide your feelings from people whom you do not know well, because you don't know if you can trust them. With your loved ones you can be more yourself.

Your feelings are easily hurt, and you tend to be easily embarassed. You are sensitive, and your loved ones may even tease you about being a little TOO sensitive at times. When your feelings are hurt, you don't always let on. You don't like confrontations, and you are not the sort of person to throw a melodramatic hissy fit. You just tend to fret over it for a few days, until eventually the misunderstanding is cleared up, or time heals the wound.

Your daemon would represent your shyness and sensitivity, and your love of family, and your tendency to hide your feelings from strangers. He or She would probably hide in your pocket or sit on your shoulder where he/she would whisper comfort into your ear.

Suggested forms:
Rabbit, Dormouse, Dik-dik, Sighthound

BROOKE TURNS 2

IT WAS ANOTHER TERRIFIC VISIT WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN.
THEY ARE TRULY THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES.

THING #41

LOGGED IN TO LAMOCHA. I STARTED THE "SPANISH" LEARNING EXERCISES.
http://www.livemocha.com/learn/Spanish/l:154/e:946
KNOWING SOME BASIC WORDS WILL REALLY HELP AT THE CITY UNIT BRANCHES.
AND INSTEAD OF JUST OFFERING BOOKS ON LANGUAGES TO PATRONS, WE CAN ALSO POINT OUT THIS WEBSITE.

THING #40

FOR PEOPLE MY AGE, RETROLAND BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE TV SHOWS OF THE 50'S AND 60'S. "FATHER KNOWS BEST" WAS ONE OF THE TV PROGRAMS I WATCHED ALL THE TIME.

THING #39

ANIMOTO IS A GREAT SITE. ENJOYED MAKING SEVERAL VIDEOS. ALL YOU DO IS UPLOAD THE PICTURES AND THE VIDEO IS CREATED FOR YOU.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO VIDEO CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS AND THEN ADD THEM TO THE LIBRARY WEBSITE.

THING #38

SO HERE'S MY CREATION. IT'S A BLONDE JOKE, BUT IT'S OK - I'M ONLY MAKING FUN OF MYSELF.
IT'S NEAT HOW YOU CAN CREATE AND PUBLISH IN TOONDOO.
A CONTEST WOULD BE FUN FOR TEENS TO SEE WHO COULD MAKE THE FUNNIEST COMIC STRIP (AFTER, OF COURSE, MAKING A PODCAST TO INSTRUCT AND INTRODUCE THEM TO THE WEBSITE.)

THING #37

I REGISTERED WITH PANDORA. I SELECTED A SONG AND THEN ALL SONGS PLAYED ARE RELATED TO THE ONE CHOSEN. YOU MAY ALSO SELECT A SPECIFIC ARTIST OR GENRE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME CHOOSING SONGS. IF I GET MY MP3 PLAYER, I WILL DOWNLOAD FROM THIS SITE. SIMPLE AND FAST! THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT.

MY PLAYLIST TO THE RIGHT IS FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT I HAD TO CHOOSE EACH SONG, SO IT WAS MORE TIME CONSUMING BUT I GOT ONLY THE SONGS THAT I WANTED. I GUESS BOTH SITES HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES.

THING #36

I LOGGED INTO PICNIK AND DID MY THING. HERE IS THE BEFORE AND AFTER OF MY PICTURE. I ALWAYS NEED HELP WITH IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF MY PHOTOS. THIS SITE WILL BE A GREAT HELP IN MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A LOT BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER THAN I REALLY AM.

THING #35

READ ABOUT THE MINIBLOGS AND CHECKED OUT THE DIFFERENT SITES. SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF INSTANT MESSAGING THAT CAN BE DONE ON YOUR BLOG. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT CAN BE DONE, BUT I'M NOT INTO THE CHATTING THING.

THING #34

I CHECKED OUT BOTH FITDAY AND NUTRIDIARY. THEY ARE BOTH EQUALLY GOOD, BUT I DON'T THINK I COULD COMMIT TO POSTING MY MEALS AND ACTIVITIES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT'S VERY TIME CONSUMING TRYING TO REMEMBER EVERY LITTLE THING THAT YOU ATE AND THEN FINDING IT OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT ON THE LIST.
THERE ARE SOME GOOD POINTS, THOUGH - LIKE FINDING OUT HOW MANY CALORIES ARE BURNED BY DOING CERTAIN ACTIVITIES AND FINDING OUT WHAT VITAMINS AND MINERALS YOU ARE LACKING FROM YOUR DIET.
I'M SURE THIS SITE MIGHT HELP MANY PEOPLE LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FOR ME.

THING #33

I GUESS WE HAVE TO STOP AND TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF OUR BUSY SCHEDULES TO PLAY AND BE CREATIVE ONCE IN AWHILE. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ON THESE ACTIVITIES.
I TRIED ALL 4, BUT I LIKE MR. PICASSO HEAD THE BEST.

CHECK MINE OUT.
http://www.mrpicassohead.com/canvas.html?id=806d4ea&skin=original

THING #32

OMNIDRIVE, ANOTHER EXCELLENT TOOL WHERE YOU CAN STORE ALL YOUR FILES AND SHARE THEM WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT.
2 THINGS THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT'S A GOOD BACK-UP TOOL. SAY IF YOU LOSE ALL YOUR FILES BECAUSE OF A VIRUS (I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED TO ME), YOU CAN CONNECT TO OMNIDRIVE AND RETRIEVE ANY THAT YOU HAVE UPLOADED.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT A FILE FROM WORK CAN BE UPLOADED AND YOU CAN ACCESS IT FROM HOME TO WORK ON IT INSTEAD OF SAVING IT ON A DISK.

I UPLOADED A WORD DOC FILE AND EDITED IT THROUGH ZOHO. AND ALSO A COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT I EDITED THROUGH SNIPSHOT.

THING #31

IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS HERE.
SO THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST IS PLAXO WHICH I THINK IS SUPER.
I ADDED EVENTS TO A WORK CALENDAR AND A HOME CALENDAR, MADE A COUNTDOWN TO A FEW BIRTHDAYS AND TO OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AND CREATED A TASK LIST.
AS FOR THE ADDRESS BOOK, I UPLOADED ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY OUTLOOK EXPRESS ACCOUNT. I PLAN TO MAKE THIS MY MAIN TELEPHONE / E-MAIL DIRECTORY. I THEN CAN ACCESS IT FROM ANY COMPUTER.

AT WORK, A TASK LIST CAN BE CREATED FOR MONTHLY JOBS AND CAN BE CHECKED OFF AS COMPLETED. A STAFF CALENDAR CAN ALSO BE MADE WITH PROGRAMS, APPOINTMENTS, MEETINGS AND BIRTHDAYS POSTED.

TAKE IT AWAY, BROOKE!

THING #30

CHECKED OUT ALL THE LOL CAT SITES AND
HERE'S MY CAT PICTURE. SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS?
JUST A FUN THING, I GUESS.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME YOU WILL SEE A CAT & MOUSE SO COMFORTABLE TOGETHER.

THING #29

WHAT A CHORE! I GOT MY PICTURES ON SCRAPBLOG - NO PROBLEM. BUT I COULDN'T GET ALL THE EXTRAS (FRAMES, BACKGROUNDS, STICKERS, ETC.), SO I ASKED EVILIBRARIAN AGAIN FOR HER ASSISTANCE AND, OF COURSE, SHE FIGURED IT OUT. YOU MUST HIT THE "F11" KEY TO TOGGLE TO THE SCREEN THAT HAS THE "DONE" OPTION AT THE BOTTOM SO THEN YOU COULD COMPLETE YOUR CREATION.
I ATTENDED THE STEELERS GAME LAST WEEKEND AND I TOOK MY CAMERA. SO HERE'S SOME OF THE PICTURES FROM HEINZ FIELD.
I'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO TACKLE THIS AGAIN.
I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING. NOW I CAN ALSO SCRAPBLOG AND JUST E-MAIL MY PICTURES TO EVERYONE.

THING #28

Originally uploaded by MONICA54

I FINALLY SUCCEEDED WITH MY MAGAZINE COVER. AFTER REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE PICTURE, IT WORKED. THIS COULD BE A LOT OF FUN.
WE COULD POST CONTEST WINNERS AT THE LIBRARY.
THE KIDS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEIR PICTURE HANGING UP.

THING #27

PHOTOBUCKET WAS KINDA FUN. IT HAS MORE OPTIONS THAN FLICKR. I UPLOADED SEVERAL PICTURES AND MADE A SLIDESHOW, BUT "OLDDOGGIENEWTRICKS" WAS NOT IMPRESSED SO I TOOK IT OFF MY BLOG AND THEN CREATED THIS MEEZ. I MUST LISTEN TO HER BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S STILL MY BOSS (FOR NOW, ANYWAY).
BUT THE "CHILDREN'S BOOK SLIDESHOW" IS IN MY ALBUM TO ACCESS LATER.
http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff110/MOMERR2212/

THING #26

WIDGETS ARE FUN AND ADDICITING.
I HAVE SEVERAL ON THE RIGHT PANEL THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT.

THING #25

HAD A PROBLEM LOGGING IN TO LETTERPOP FROM MY HOME COMPUTER. I WAS READY TO SKIP IT, BUT I TRIED IT FROM THE LIBRARY COMPUTER AND IT WORKED.
GLAD I WAS ABLE TO TRY THIS OUT. IT MIGHT REALLY COME IN HANDY FOR AN INVITATION OR NEWSLETTER.

CHECK MINE OUT.
http://letterpop.com/newsletters/?id=61881-f63f93

THING #24

IT WAS EASY USING ZAMZAR AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS... THERE IS NO SOFTWARE TO DOWNLOAD - THAT'S A PLUS... RECEIVED THE MESSAGE ON MY E-MAIL THAT IT WAS CONVERTED. CLICKED ON THE FILE TO DOWNLOAD AND IT WAS DONE.

THIS IS A GREAT TOOL... AT HOME I WILL CONVERT "YOU TUBE" VIDEOS AND SAVE THEM TO MY HARD DRIVE.
IN THE LIBRARY, ANYTHING FOUND OF INTEREST OR IMPORTANCE TO PATRONS COULD BE CONVERTED, SAVED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING.

THING #23

WELL, WHAT D'YA KNOW? I MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE... I'M GLAD I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO JOURNEY THROUGH THIS UNKNOWN TERRITORY.
I STRUGGLED WITH SOME OF THE EXCERCISES, BUT WITH PERSERVERANCE AND A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS I MADE IT THROUGH.
I ESPECIALLY LIKED BLOGLINES, LIBRARYTHING, YOUTUBE, AND OF COURSE THE GENERATORS... WHAT I LIKED LEAST WAS ROLLYO.
THANK YOU TO LOUISA AND TO MY CO-WORKERS THAT I'VE ENJOYED WORKING WITH SO MUCH.
I WOULD DEFINITELY TACKLE ANOTHER LEARNING CHALLENGE IF IT WAS OFFERED.

THING #22

AS I CHECKED OUT NETLIBRARY, I NOTICED THAT ALMOST ANY REFERENCE ITEM COULD BE FOUND. I TYPED IN THE KEYWORD "DIABETES" AND IT BROUGHT UP EVERY MANUAL OR BOOK WITH THAT WORD IN IT. IF YOU CLICK ON THE MANUAL IT TAKES YOU DIRECTLY TO THE CHAPTER AND PAGE THAT EXPLAINS DIABETES. THIS COULD PROVE VERY BENEFICIAL TO REFERENCE LIBRARIANS, TO STUDENTS LOOKING UP INFO FOR A PROJECT OR ANY PATRON TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT A CERTAIN SUBJECT. AS FOR FICTION TITLES, I COULDN'T FIND TOO MANY, BUT
NETLIBRARY IS A FAST-GROWING COLLECTION SO I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST GIVE IT TIME.
I LIKE THAT YOU COULD JUST CLICK ON "VIEW THIS PAGE" OR "VIEW THIS BOOK" AND IT WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.

YPL WEBSITE OFFERS MANY MORE FICTION TITLES FOR E-BOOKS. BUT THERE'S A CATCH. YOU NEED A LIBRARY CARD AND ONE OF 3 SOFTWARES DOWNLOADED.
I DOWNLOADED "ADOBE" ON MY HOME COMPUTER.

BOTTOM LINE -- I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH NETLIBRARY AND ITS USER-FRIENDLY METHOD.

THING #21

PODCASTING - I'M SO GLAD THAT I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH THIS FORM OF TECHNOLOGY.
I LISTENED TO MANY, BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS "NANCY PEARL BOOK REVIEWS." IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO READ NEXT, SHE CAN CERTAINLY ACQUAINT YOU WITH SOME EXCELLENT BOOKS. AND EVEN IF SHE IS REVIEWING A BOOK ON A SUBJECT THAT YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY INTERESTED IN, IT IS STILL ENJOYABLE TO JUST LISTEN TO HER COMMENTS.
http://www.kuow.org/podcast/NancyPearl20070820.mp3
I ALSO ADDED NANCY PEARL'S PODCAST TO MY BLOGLINES ACCOUNT.

AS FOR USING THIS FORM OF COMMUNICATION IN THE LIBRARY, SHORT PODCASTS COULD BE MADE TO EXPLAIN EACH OF THE NEW TECH THINGS THAT WE ARE LEARNING HERE. AND OF COURSE, THE PODCAST IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET THROUGH TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE, WHETHER IT BE EDUCATIONAL OR FUN.
ONCE PATRONS OF ALL AGES KNOW THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE, THEY CAN NOT ONLY REFER TO BOOKS, BUT ALSO LISTEN TO A PODCAST ABOUT ALMOST ANY SUBJECT.

THING #20

I ORIGINALLY ADDED THIS VIDEO TO MY BLOG ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BUT AS I LOOKED OVER EVERYTHING I SAW IT DISAPPEARED, SO I'M ADDING IT AGAIN. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS TIME.

YOUTUBE IS A FUN SITE. HERE'S A VIDEO THAT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH.

WE CAN REFER PATRONS TO CERTAIN LIBRARY RELATED VIDEOS OR EVEN HAVE CONTESTS TO HAVE PATRONS CREATE THEIR OWN.

THING #19

THE "HEALTH" WEBSITE IS THE ONE I EXPLORED SINCE HEALTH & FITNESS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ME.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN JOIN A WEIGHT LOSS & FITNESS ON-LINE GROUP USING DAILY JOURNALING AND PEER SUPPORT WITH PEERTRAINER.

SECONDLY, YOU CAN SEARCH FOR ANYTHING HEALTH-RELATED WHETHER IT BE A DISORDER, A DRUG OR A TREATMENT WITH MEDSTORY.

AND FINALLY YOU CAN ACCESS HEALTH BLOGS WITH NEWS AND INSIGHTS AND BE REFERRED TO LINKS RELATING TO ANY QUERY WITH HELIA.

I LIKE THAT YOU CAN RECEIVE INFORMATION AND SUPPORT PRIVATELY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE.

LIBRARY STAFF CAN ESPECIALLY USE "PEERtrainer" TO JOIN OTHERS TO TRACK WEIGHT LOSS OR TO VIEW NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES. WE CAN SUPPORT EACH OTHER AS WE STRIVE FOR BETTER HEALTH HABITS.

THING #18

WELL, I CREATED MY 1,000th ACCOUNT (JUST KIDDING), BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT.
http://writer.zoho.com/index.do
I TRIED OUT SEVERAL DOCUMENTS ON ZOHO INCLUDING 2 EXCEL SHEETS, A MEETING FORM AND A NOTEBOOK PAGE. VERY EASY EVEN FOR "NOT-SO-SMART" PEOPLE LIKE ME.
TO ACCESS THIS FROM ANY COMPUTER IS A PLUS. I SEE "ZOHO" TO BE VERY USEFUL WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE WORKING A PROJECT. IT CAN BE WORKED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM DIFFERENT COMPUTERS. AND YOU CAN SPECIFY WHO YOU WANT TO SHARE THE DOCUMENT WITH OR YOU CAN MAKE IT PUBLIC TO ALL.

I HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH "ZOHO." I ADDED THE RESUME TEMPLATE TO MY ACCOUNT, (AND BY THE WAY, THERE ARE 50 TEMPLATES TO WORK WITH) BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CAN'T ACCESS IT ANYWHERE TO ACTUALLY CREATE ONE. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
THANKS SO MUCH TO LOUISA. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.

THING #17

I CREATED A LOGIN ACCOUNT AS I SAID IN #16: http://momerr2212.pbwiki.com/
I ALSO ADDED MY BLOG TO http://plcmclearning.pbwiki.com/Favorite%20Blogs.
AND THEN I ADDED TO 3 OTHER "FAVORITE LISTS" - RESTAURANTS, MUSIC AND SPORTS STARS.
LIKED BEING ABLE TO VIEW OTHERS OPINIONS ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.
AND I ADDED A POST TO THE SANDBOX WIKI:http://momerr2212.pbwiki.com/SandBox

THING #16

WELL, AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THIS WIKI THING WOULD NOT BE GOOD SINCE ANYONE COULD EDIT IT. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MORE OF OPIONATED POSTS. BUT AS I READ ON, I SEE THAT A MAJORITY OF THE CONTRIBUTORS WOULD NOT ALLOW FALSE INFORMATION TO BE POSTED AND WOULD CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY.

MANY LIBRARIES ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS NEW TOOL. FIRST, IT CAN BE USED FOR STAFF COLLABORATION. NO SINGLE STAFF MEMBER COULD KNOW EVERYTHING, BUT COLLECTIVELY THROUGH WIKIS, MUCH KNOWLEDGE CAN BE SHARED, SUCH AS REFERENCE PROCESSES, INFORMATION SOURCES, ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT, TO NAME A FEW.
WIKIS CAN ALSO BE USED TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN STAFF AND PATRONS. SOME EXAMPLES ARE LISTING RECOMMENDED BOOKS, INFORMATION SHARING AND REVIEWS ON BOOKS, FEATURED AUTHORS, TUTORIALS AND RECOMMENDED LINKS FOR DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS - WIKIS CAN CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF CONTINUOUS LEARNING.

I CREATED A WIKI SO I COULD SEE IT IN ACTION. I ADDED SEVERAL PAGES OF RECIPES.
http://momerr2212.pbwiki.com/
MY PASSWORD IS "LOLLIPOP" JUST IN CASE YOU WANT TO ADD TO IT.

http://pbwiki.com/?r=pob

THING #15

THE WORLD AND LIBRARY USERS ARE CHANGING AND THE LIBRARY STAFF MUST BE PREPARED AND UP TO SPEED WITH THE NEW TECNOLOGY TO BETTER PROVIDE SERVICES.
AFTER READING THE PERSPECTIVES ON LIBRARY 2.0, I SEE HOW THE LIBRARY SHOULD BE A SOCIAL AND EMOTIONALLY ENGAGING CENTER FOR LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE. MORE THAN JUST OFFERING NEW TOOLS, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIAL SOFTWARE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE -- NOT FORCED ON PATRONS -- JUST AVAILABLE.
ONCE THE PATRONS BECOME EDUCATED AND KNOW HOW TO MANIPULATE THE TOOLS, THEN THE 2.0 CONCEPT AND LIBRARIES CAN OPEN UP MINDS TO A NEW WORLD.

THING #14

EXPLORED TECHNORATI - QUITE INTERESTING.
AS FOR "LEARNING 2.0" THERE WERE OVER 26,000 BLOG POSTS AND ABOUT 495 IN BLOG DIRECTORY.
THE MOST POPULAR BLOGS SEEM TO BE TECHNOLOGY RELATED. THEN ALSO YOU HAVE YOUR HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE BLOGS AND OF COURSE YOU SOCIAL BLOGS.
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE TOP 20:
BOINGBOING
PROBLOGGER
TECHCRUNCH
PROFILEPITSTOP


I ALSO CLAIMED MY BLOG AND ADDED A WATCHLIST.

THING #13

I REGISTERED WITH DEL.ICIO.US AND I ADDED ICONS TO MY TOOLBAR TO CLICK AND ADD NEW WEBSITES QUICKLY AND EASILY. I WILL PROBABLY USE THIS MOSTLY WITH ADDING NEW RECIPES FOUND ON DIFFERENT SITES. I POSTED, SORTED AND TAGGED A FEW ALREADY AND FOUND OODLES OF THEM TAGGED BY OTHER USERS. IF I KEEP CLICKING I'LL END UP WITH MORE RECIPES THAN I'LL EVER NEED.
LOVE IT! NOW I MIGHT FINALLY BE ORGANIZED.

CHECK OUT MY ACCOUNT:
http://del.icio.us/MOMERR2212

THING #12

I CREATED 3 SEARCHROLLS AND I LINKED MY ACCOUNT TO MY BLOG. IT IS BENEFICIAL TO HAVE YOUR OWN SEARCH ENGINES SO YOU COULD FOCUS ON THE SITES RELEVANT TO YOUR TOPIC. ALSO, I ENJOYED VIEWING OTHER PEOPLE'S SEARCHROLLS AND EXPLORING THE WEBSITES THAT THEY HAD LISTED.

YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY ACCOUNT:
http://www.rollyo.com/momerr2212/

THING #11

WELL, I ADDED ANOTHER ACCOUNT TO MY LIST. AND THIS ONE, LIBRARYTHING REALLY IS GREAT. BESIDES BEING ABLE TO SORT AND KEEP A LIST OF WHAT YOU'VE READ, RATE THE BOOK AND SEE THE CUMULATIVE RATINGS, YOU CAN READ OR WRITE REVIEWS (I'VE WRITTEN 3 REVIEWS SO FAR AND ENJOY READING OTHER READERS' OPINIONS), SEE SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO READ NEXT AND CONNECT WITH OTHER READERS AND EVEN AUTHORS. I'VE ADDED MANY BOOKS SO FAR AND I USED "WIDGET" TO DISPLAY SOME OF THEM ON THIS POST. I THINK PATRONS THAT ARE SERIOUS READERS WILL JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO USE A WEBSITE SUCH AS THIS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND WILL USE IT A LOT.

THING #10

My dumpr

IT WAS FUN PLAYING WITH ALL THE IMAGE GENERATORS. HERE'S JUST 2 OF THE MANY THAT ARE AVAILABLE. YOU CAN BE SO CREATIVE WITH THESE GENERATORS AND REALLY MAKE AN IMPRESSION WITH YOUR WEB PAGES.

THINGS #8 AND #9

I SET UP MY BLOGLINES READER ACCOUNT.
I HAVE 11 FEEDS RIGHT NOW INCLUDING:

1. http://www.unshelved.com/
2. http://www.charlotte.com/
3. http://www.mydd.com/

RSS WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO A LIBRARY SYSTEM IN UPDATING LISTS OF NEW BOOKS, VIDEOS, MCD'S, ETC ON AN HOURLY BASIS. LIBRARY EVENTS COULD ALSO BE SEEN. IT COULD TRACK FAVORITE AUTHORS OR NEW MATERIAL IN A CERTAIN SUBJECT AREA FOR PATRONS AND PROVIDE LINKS THAT INTEREST THEM ALSO.

http://www.bloglines.com/blog/MOMERR2212

THING # 7

ENJOYED DOING THE RESEARCH ON NEW TECHNOLOGY. HEARD ABOUT THE NEW 789 DREAMLINER ON THE NEWS SO I CHECKED INTO IT FURTHER.
UNVEILED ON 7/8/07, WAS THIS TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED AND ENVIRONMENTALLY PROGRESSIVE 789 DREAMLINER AIRPLANE. LOOKS LIKE A GREAT RIDE TO ME AND WILL MAKE AN ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE TO AIRLINE PASSENGERS BECAUSE IT WILL USE LESS FUEL.

1ST BLOG

Well, I read the 7 1/2 habits and I know that the toughest one for me to do is "To View Problems as Challenges." I like everything to flow smoothly, but I realize that it won't always be like that. For example, I deleted my 1st blog, accidentally, that is. But that might've been a good thing because now I can do it again, understanding it much better.
The easiest for me is "To Teach or Mentor Others." It builds up my own confidence.
Hopefully, I will learn a lot from these blogging excercises. I'm excited to begin (again!!).
