Week 5: Thing #12 Rollyo Search

Well, after having fun playing with the previous weeks projects this was a little stressful. At first I wasn't sure of what to do or what topic to search. Finally I searched "Christian Music", which I have a passion for and love to sing. Not sure if I posted my results correct, but I do have a seach Rollyo http://rollyo.com/vertically_devoted/christian_music/

Week 5: Thing#11 LibraryThing

Week 5: Thing #10 Online Image Generators

I created a this snow flake on a http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com/ an online image generator. I thought this was interesting and was kinda cute to do.

Since I first started with this week 5 projects, I been playing around (as you can see) with the different types of online generators. Generator Blog -Rubik's cube & M & M Characters , Letter James - "Tube in Gel- Jesus Loves Me", Yahoo Avators, Meeze and finally Speech Agents. I've had lots of fun creating and playing with these sites, I don't want to do my work. Opps - don't tell my boss!

Week 4: Thing #9 Merlin & :-)

After having to set up a blog news feed I wasn't sure if I wanted to attempt anything more. But I decided to continue this techno adventure . In this part we are asked to explore Merlin - Maryland's Essential Resource for Library Information Networks. Which I found to be very interesting. I explored the several site and visited Library News Blogs. Blog Junctions hosts several states of blogs where I visited Maine's blog and saw a link for:

http://webjunctionworks.org/me/blog/index.php/2007/07/27/you-may-not-believe-this-video-on-change-in-the-world/ about a video on "Changes in the World" that took to "youtube". Made me realize how advanced or not advanced some countries are in technology.

I also visited "Stephen's Lighthouse" Blog and read how the computer smiley :-) got started and celebrating it's 25th year in existance Sept. 19, 1982.

Week 4: Thing #8 RSS News Readers

Okay, so it's taken me a while to get the hang of this, but this RSS thing is giving me a headache. I've register for my bloglines account and have found several interesting RSS and News feeds to add my account. Things about Dogs, Home Improvements, Knitting and of course Library stuff. So we'll see how it works out. Still not sure if I'm getting the Tech stuff.

Week 3: Thing #7: Technology - New and Upcoming!

As I was looking for some new technology to study. I wondered on the the New York Times and found a columnist Dave Pogue multimedia talking about "Kid-Tracking Cellphones". Even though this idea has been around for several years the idea has intrigued me for sometime. I work with youth through my church and see how much cell phones, iPods, and computer gizmo's are important to these kids. Plus the media show us stories after stories of missing or abused kids. I wondered how much we could do to help protect and prevent the bad stuff.

Today we can micro chip an animal for recovery and we have micro chipped computers, cell phones and even medicine to track their whereabouts. Why can't we micro chip our kids. I know it sound cruel and punishing, but think. It's 2007 and in this day of technology we can use a GPS system to guide, fine and detect anything. Why not a child, missing or not!

Week 3: #6 Flickr Mash-upo &Third Parties Sites

"Go Pink?
Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research." From Pink for October website.


I have several close friends who are struggling with Breast Cancer. I hope and pray that some day soon we will find a cure for Breast Cancer.


On Flickr I went through BIGHUGELabs. to find a mash-up or third party site that I would like to look at. I noticed this site on Breast Cancer.
