Task 23 TADA

TADA, we're done, so long farewell adieu adieu. It's been an interesting and fun expereience, I know that I like pictures on my blog, lol. It was cool to see how darned intelligent all you library folk are, and how much I need to learn, whew. My fave part was of course youtube, which I already had dabbled with. I liked flickr and the slogan thingy. I didn't see much point to tagging and really shoulda found a wallet for all my new passwords and username jive. All in all it was cool. I really am in need of a laptop, so I hope my lil name gets pulled..............much concentration going to the fishbowl. I am barely finishing this by the hair on my chinny chin chin, minus the hair. Bye Bye.

Task 22

Podcast???
http://feeds.feedburner.com/mugglecast--have to have itunes which I don't have.
I don't like that I had to download quicktime to list to poetry podcast. Listened to LibVibe podcast on yahoo podcast--regarding a strike that was ongoing at a Vancouver library --quite interesting. The yahoo podcast was the best for ease of use I thought, not sure how to do the RSS feed thing. ( in fact I don't like how the RSS thing works, so I tried to use it, but to no avail-unuser friendly)
I read that yahoo is closing their podcasts, just the one I liked, go figure.

Task 20 & 21

Downloadable books, I joined this in the Net Library in the beginning but was disappointed when I couldn't use my current mp3 to listen to burned discs. I didn't go out and buy a new player because the one I have works fine for my music. I do have the "Count of Monte Cristo," on my computer and haven't really found time to sit and listen to it yet.......but who knows. The concept of downloadable books is awesome though.
Overdrive was a bit easier to at least access, but I am not going to burn another coaster in order to listen to a book on cd--with an old mp3 player.
