Graduation, at last!

Wow, 23 Things ended up being a whirlwind class. When it started, I had no idea how much time it was going to take!...time at home at the computer, that is. Many a day I wanted to chuck the whole thing and spend my free time outdoors, enjoying the summer. Now that it's over, I'm glad I stuck it out because I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Now, I'm comfortable doing many of the "Things" that I always wanted to try but never got around to making the time to actually do it.

Kudos to the planning committee!

Thing 20

Subscribing to a Podcast was a fun, easy exercise. I must admit I'll be more interested in listening to podcasts in the winter. In the summer, I much prefer to be out and about than on the computer!

Thing #17, 18, and 19

I found tabbed browsing in Firefox to be very similar to the tabs I use in IE. I installed “Read it Later” a feature I could get a lot of use of. Changing browser text size within Firefox was practically the same as the IE feature.

Firefox is like a shining new toy, with many bells and whistles. I could spend oodles of time playing with Firefox, but when I’m in a hurry (usually always) I'll probably resort to tried and true IE.

Thing #16

I have loved Charice's voice since I first heard her on Oprah about a year ago.

Optional Thing 11 and Thing 12

I found several articles on different social networks. It was difficult to get interested in sites where people twitter about what they are doing with their day. As far as blogs were concerned, I found useful and interesting material; however, I realize we need to consider the source when gleaning information from blogs or the Internet.

Since I work in the Computer Center, I come in contact with many people who have little or no computer skills. Therefore, I don’t think we can effectively reach our patrons with social networking.

23 Things-Week 5

Well, I set up an account and got an eBook from NetLibrary. Even though it was very easy, I doubt that I will be sitting at my computer, anytime soon, reading a book. Especially in the summer!!
