Flickr


Since my old laptop is dying, I uploaded all my digital pix to Picassa (google's online pix storage site). My family uses Picassa and it was the easiest way to share photos. But Flickr has some interesting photo editing options and I enjoyed playing with the different mashups. I created a magazine cover, but the trading card looked the best. I had a fun time browsing through the SC Libraries photos and some old postcards of libraries....got lost in searching for photos. I will have to try the mashup which you draw something and then search for like phots....should be interesting. I am going to go to Picassa and see what kind of fun mashups they might have added. I am attaching my playing card of our new puppy.

Technorati

Well I like for people to read my professional blog

http://libraryliteraryadventures.blogspot.com

but I don't keep up with blogs so much, except that bloglines has helped organize them.
I browsed around technorati and found some of the top 100 blogs interesting and had some fun looking for pix and videos about rottie puppies. I will probably go ahead and read my co-workers posts about this quest, so I can see what highlights about Technorati and Delicious that I must have missed.

Delicious

I am always looking for good books to read, mostly fiction. I usually ask my friends that read and have similar tastes in books. So i set out to find some read alikes or good book recommnedations. First I tried read alikes and then ended up with readers advisory as a good tag. Readers Advisory came up with 463 tags, but i could not figure out how to have them listed by the most "saved" sites....since they seem to be the better ones. I did find the site The Library Thing and this site looks promising....so I might go ahead and create an account and try it out.
