Delicious

I have been using Delicious for a year. I really like it. All my bookmarks on the same page (which is saying something since I have never used bookmarks). I like looking at the recent and popular posts as I usually find something funny (how to tell if your cat is trying to kill you) or something informational (easy programming tips).

Twitter

I left my family in western Nebraska, Friday morning (they will come home Sunday), so am home along tonight. Good time to explore twitter. Not sure if it is something I will keep up with, but at least I know more about it and how it actually works. I will give it time next week, when more people are back to work.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and did not eat too much.

LibraryThing

I am behind on my learning. The library had their bi-annual fundraiser last week, so I was a tad busy. But the turn out was great, so I am happy with the results.

I had a LibraryThing account set up, but I deletedthose books and add some of my daughter's books. I am trying to get the teen group to look at/use LibraryThing so I tailored by list to the teens. My list can be seen at the following link. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/cubfan2008

Technology

I will agree with everyone else. Technology is great when it works. My day has been very frustrating because of technology. One of my other part time jobs is at a mini mart. The first couple of credit cards today would not swipe without going through a lot of extra steps (calling in to get an authorization number).
When I got to the library to work on items for our Tannenbaum Festival, I had to use four different computers before I got one to print. We replaced our server and are still finding things that did not move to the new one. Frustrating.
I know technology makes our days easier; I can do banking and shopping from my laptop while watching TV and texting my daughter. My children grew up with all this technology. They could not imagine living any other way.
I am dependent on technology as the next person. I don't like visiting my father-in-law in western Nebraska as there is no internet and crappy cell phone reception. At least Grandpa has cable now since he moved into town, which makes the kids happy. I have a motel along the interstate that I usually stop and check the email and such before we head to the boonies.
I am glad the Library Commission is offering these "things " so I can keep up with all the changing technology. At least I can keep updated on some of the new technology before they change again.

This is the cake my daughter had last year. You can see the mailing label and stamps. This is the way I receive them. They ride in the front seat with the driver.

My sister-in-law makes birthday cakes for my children every year. She lives 300 miles away in western Nebraska. Usually the cakes come thru the mail. Yes, I go to the post office and pick up birthday cakes. Never have they been destroyed. My son is a big Indianapolis Colts fan.
This puzzle feature is kind of cool. I will have to do some more playing.

Spell with Flickr

I like the spell with Flickr feature. I could not figure out how to upload my image into my blog however. Guess I am tired and should get off the computer.

Most of the applications I don't think they have a lot of practical applications in the small library, but I have learned a lot of new things about flickr.
