Discovery Week 5 cont'd

Just finished exploring Library Thing. I have travelled a lot and have cookbooks and decorating/design books on many of the countries I've visited. Anyway, I've started entering some of the titles. I displayed using titles and covers. I Have put My Library Thing on my blog.

Discovery Week 5

Hi,

Had fun with the image generators. Completed reflection one (see right) http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/reflection-generator.html and also the delft china plate but it seemed that you couldn't cut and paste it. I tried text collage which I really liked but I couldn't get it to work. You could see a sample but couldn't play (at least I couldn't figure it out). Also made a magazine cover which was fun using Big Huge Labs.

Wish list technology

You asked for a blog on technology so I've given you my wishlist! Cell phones with GPS http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gps-phone.htm. Very useful applications! golf balls with GPS (they actually do exist http://www.whynot.net/ideas/836)
Television when and how you want it (called My Sky, here) http://www.sky.co.nz/my-sky.aspx. What I'd like but don't know if it exists - a searchable database of television programs, when they are on, what channel, etc instead of having to scroll through an online guide with the remote.

Discovery Week 4

Here's the link to patchworkr for those crafty people who asked me for it http://www.fumpf.de/patchworkr/

Discovery Week 4 RSS feeds - cont'd

I have plans to do RSS feeds in other non-library related subjects to view from home. I have so little spare time that it is wonderful to be able to go to one place and get caught up in minutes. Presently, I have dozens of emails that I receive at home but often I don't get to them and my husband files them and they are forgotten. Does anyone know if the archive is limited to one month (that's the longest period on the drop down menu)? Do the feeds then just disappear?

Discovery Week RSS feeds

Hi,

This week's exercise alone has made this all worthwhile. I've put in MLA, RUSA of ALA and another blog for medical librarians, Librarians' Rx.

Discovery Week 3 con'td

Success! Made a mosaic with the pictures I uploaded to Flickr. Also explored and found another similar program called Patchworkr but there were too many pictures in the queue. I'll go back though - people have done some really beautiful things with it.

Discovery Week 3 cont'd

Finally made it on to Flickr and uploaded some pictures of displays I've done for the library and viewed them as a slide show. It was fun and I think I'll ask colleagues how to do more, like making a collage or a magazine cover.

Discovery Week 3

Tried to Flickr but can't - screen freezes and I've tried multiple times which leads me to believe that "all that flickrs is not gold". Will try again because from what I've read I'd find it fun!
