#12 Rollyo

Not at all excited by this one. However, have saved it as part of my blog for future use.

#11 LibraryThing

LibraryThing: just what every aspiring cataloguer wants for Christmas. I like the concept, and think I will probably use it.

Not as excited by this as I am about Flickr or the online image generator.

#10 - Online image generator

Well, week 10. Finally into double figures. The image generator is really cool. I like the ease in which it can be used. The possibilites are endless - as I am continually discovering on this 2.0 journey. In an effort to change our image, I created the following supporter.

#9 - News feeds

I really do like RSS and News feeds. In addition to last weeks RSS Feeds, through topix.net I have subsribed to news links about libraries and librarians.

Too Many RSS Feeds! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Too Many RSS Feeds! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Following on from my last post, I found this on Flickr

#8 - RSS Feeds

I think RSS Feeds may become my new best friend - the latest information and gossip always at hand - what more could a BlondeXer ask for? It is a step-up from "My Favourites" file. Hopefully in my excitement of all the possibilites, I have not over subscribed, could be information overload...

#7 Technology

Technology -
Was life really simpler without it? Many of us may grumble about technology, but where would we be without it? It has opened up worlds and possibilities that 10 years ago, 5 years ago, even 1 year ago, we would not have thought possible.
For me, my PC, laptop and Blackberry are just part of everyday life. And I love my Ipod and never want to be parted from it, its just so very good for when you can't get to sleep in foreign lands.
I think though, if I had to pick one piece of technology to take to a desert island, it would be the digital camera. As the saying goes, a picture tells a thousand words, so no need for the PC or laptop (I could write in the sand) and I'd kiss my Blackberry goodbye as it sinks into the clear turquoise waters - because who said I wanted to be found...

#6 Flickr Fun

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I am no where near finished the 23 things! Oh well, like Christmas shopping, it will all be finished in the "Nick" of time!
I'm still really enjoying looking at the photos on Flickr. Some of the photos are absolutely stunning whilst others are just plain weird. I'm quite intrigued by FD Toys and the BigHugeLabs site - especially the link to Warholizer. I experimented with two photos, but the originals obviously did not have the right lighting.
