library thing

this is a great site- and a great idea- to be able to keep a list of all my pop ups and not have to remember the full title or author is a wonderful thing....
here is my connection to my list

library 2.0-are we obsolete???

after reading the various articles about library 2.0- especially dr. schultz's take on the subject- i find that i have a BIG problem with the whole concept of what i would call artificial life or virtual reality. these concepts encourage people to spend their lives on computers and develop artificial personalities and lives---- it discourages socialization in the REAL world- and it is a big world out there. i know that it is sometimes easier not to have to be part of the real world- but in order to function a person needs to have social skills, in addition to computer skills--
i don't think that librarians are going to be obsolete, we do need to adapt to the world of computers- but not live in them....

favs

when i am not wearing a 'librarian' hat- i do pottery and make jewelry.... i will sell some of my jewelry when i have enought made-- it has been very slow going the last few months... lots of stuff going on.....

sal and i travelled to sicily in october and climbed mt etna- actually hiked down 4000 feet through lava ash and a steep incline--- awesome, but i did it.....
with sal retiring at the end of the month, we will do more adventuring... can't wait.....

del.icio.us

i finally figured out del.icio.us--- it is really not that easy--- i had to play with the site and then i realized that to add my own favorites, i needed to click post and then add my favorites... i tried to import/export from IE, but that didn't work---
it's like the new ipod that sal gave me for hanukkah-- i had to ask my 16 yr old niece how to get my music on it!!! BUT at least i GOT it!!!! and she rolled her eyes at me....
anyway- here is my public bookmarking site at del.icio.us

I USE PICASSA INSTEAD

i find that www.picassa.com is an easier site to use for photo retrieval, storage and editing. it was also easy to make a photo CD from several different folders that i have stored on the site...and the pictures are actually stored on your computer. and it is fun to edit the pictures. i did that by cutting and cropping and enhancing the colors with several that i took of flowers to make a collage.
i also played with sepia color on another pix-- came out great---
