Foo Dog
The Annex has two Foo dogs guarding the building. They are starting to grow a green algae that reallycontrasts with their white stone.

CLOVERFIELD......1-18-08
The WEB can be used for hype about upcoming events. In this case it is being used to promote and create conversation about a movie that will be released on January 18, 2008.
The movie trailer is interesting and tells the viewer almost nothing about the movie itself. The internet has provided a landscape for movie enthusiasts to speculate what the movie is about while feeding the hype surrounding the movie. It has become a self advertising machine. The more questions that are asked and the more people that try to answer the questions, the more free advertisement the producers get.

#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning.....
I believe that this is just the beginning. 2.1 has already been released. New technology is constantly arriving. Our library patrons will always have new technology that they want to use. We will need to use it too.
My suggestion for improvement is that to save time more guide lines might be in place. However I feel that this will infringe upon the exploration aspect of the assignments. I hope to improve my blog and add more fun links to it soon.

#15 Library 2.0 and Web2.0
I am happy to see that many librarians are willing to acknowledge that this is part of a continuing change and growth for libraries. A chance to be more interactive and grow with the help of our users.
Easier access to information for all through connectivity to other libraries and interaction through the needs and wants of our users.

This is great. A portable bookmark system that is social. Now my book marks can travel with me. I can check other peoples bookmarks for similar information. This has many uses and is much easier to organize than standard bookmarks.

Assignment #10
I have found the image generators to be rather fun. There are many to choose from and they are rather specific as to thier use. I enjoyed experimenting with several of them. One that I enjoy using is Dungeon Generator. It is a quick and easy way to generate dungeons for gaming.

About Me
#18 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops anymore.
Playing in the web based applications, I found many useful tools. I like using the google documents. I can write down short notes or ideas It allows me to access it from any machine and I do not have to carry it with me. Best of all I do not have to have any special software to use it. So I can access it from work, home or anywhere else.
#17 Playing With Wiki's
The Wiki's are quite user friendly and fun. It is easy to add your own information or even an entire page to the Wiki. They keep adding things to the Library Wiki. Check back and see what has changed.
Assignment #9
This is one of the many feeds that I found interesting and intertaining.
I KNOW some of you will find it interesting as well so I decided to share.
The easiest ways to find fun links is to visit other poeples blogs and see what they find interesting or to look for feeds on my favorite web sites.

Technology
Technology is a great tool that is constantly changing and altering how we do things. Look at computers as a great example of how technological changes effect our everyday lives. When computers were first introduced they were large and clunky. Filling entire rooms. Then came the slow yet much smaller desk top computers, the faster desk top computers, Laptops that could process word documents and play very basic games, Then faster, smaller notebooks with much more memory and wireless connection. Now we have Phones that allow you access to email and internet.
