#12 Rollyo

I created a quick Rollyo search roll for some of my favorite Great Dane sites; give it a try!

If you're not sure what to search for, try using the word "bloat" (a dangerous condition that can affect Danes) and see what comes up.

Or, search for "Davey" and you will see pictures of our adopted Great Dane! (The first hit is his success story on the rescue website; the second hit is our adoption story in the rescue's newsletter)

#11 Library Thing

I'm in love with LibraryThing. Mainly because I'm not sophisticated enough to be a cataloger, but it allows me to still "catalog" my books. I'm working on my entire library, but since I just started last night I have a loooong way to go.....

I have added a widget to the sidebar of my blog if you're interested, and here is the link to my (ever-expanding) catalog:

Let me know if you want to borrow anything; as long as I get it back!!!!

#10 Image Generators

Love image generators!! They are so much fun. I got lost in these for days.....finally surfaced long enough to make this post. I've used the Simpsonizer (different than the Simpson Avatar maker; in the Simpsonizer you upload an actual picture of yourself) with my picture :

From This.......

The Simpsonizer came up with this!

Wow; I should be living in Springfield. I'd be MUCH hotter.

I tried to Simpsonize a picture of my dog (hoping they would have something related to Santa's Little Helper loaded into the program), but apparently you have to be human.....too bad.

You Tube Fun

For those of you itching to watch the entire Terry Tate: Office Linebacker collection, I've added it to the sidebar of my blog. Be warned, these are rated PG-13 for some mild adult language :). And extreme violence, of course.

Maybe, instead of getting a security guard, we could employ a Library Linebacker.....

#9 Finding Feeds

Okay, not to be an RSS Scrooge, but I just don't care for most of the "feed finding" search tools out there. I tend to get so much irrelevant junk back.......I prefer to just add feeds that I hear about or find on my own.

One neat feed finder, Medworm, is specific to medical feeds; this type of search option may be the future of "feed finding" since it isn't searching the entire contents of the know web.

#8 RSS Feeds etc.

I'm still trying to decide which I like better: Google Reader, or Bloglines. They each do some nifty things, but I wish I could smash them together and take the best bits of both.

One thing that I really like about Bloglines (which I haven't found in Google Reader yet, but it might be there) is the ability to creat public feed lists. I have experimented with this a bit with medical resources, but am not sure how useful it would be overall.

#7 Blog About Technology

Yarg. That's one broad topic. While I love technology, I wasn't one of those kids who grew up with a computer in their house. So I definitely feel behind my peers sometimes. Because of this, I make a concerted effort to stay up on what's going on in the tech world as best I can.

More importantly, because I feel like I still have so much to learn (it never stops, right?), I appreciate how scary technology can seem before you just dive right in.

#6 More Flickr Fun

Okay, so this isn't very "techie librarian" of me, but I love the Flickr Color Pickr! Something about all of those bright shiny pics, lovingly categorized by coordinating color....okay, maybe that is very librarian of me :)

I am so proud of everyone who has jumped on board the Learning 2.0 train! We've had great turnout at the workshops, and everyone is helping each other out.

Kudos to all!

This is our dog Davey, the first day we brought him home from the Rescue. He's a little more grey around the face now (we tell him he's distinguished), but still as friendly and happy as ever!

Sweet! I'm a Simpson!

Thanks to allnightinalden and The Simpsons Movie, I've now created my very own Simpsons avatar!!

Very cool. You can do it too, just go to the main site and select the Avatar option at the top of the page. The rest is up to you!!

Oh yeah, I will get caught up on my Learning 2.0 assignments eventually......I've spent so much time coordinating and helping that I haven't been posting!

Bad Whitney......
