Completed #13 to my satisfaction. Looked around the twitter site...signed up...some of the links were not functioning. Not sure I will make use of this...but I can see for libraries that want to make direct connections with their patrons this might provide a tool for them.

My link to librarything is librarything.com/home/knelson1945. This has been the most fun thing for me to do so far in nebraska learns 2.0. It speaks to my love of reading, books, and list making!!!! Thanks NE Learns 2.0!!!!

#12 is a KEEPER!!! Love the Librarything site.....I have a book that I try to keep a list of the books I've read...don't always remember to write them down. Now I can have my list right on my computer!!! It was quick. It was easy. It was fun!!!!!!! I even marked the website as a favorite!

#11....blog about technology. It's on a need to know basis. You can do as much as you want or as little. I first used a computer back in 1990...It was frustrating and fascinating, awful and awesome. Over the years I have become more dependent upon it for personal uses and work at the library. It's great for cataloging, check outs, e-mailing, etc. But when we have trouble with the computers and they go down it is very frustrating. The more I know, the more I don't know. I am glad I am doing these 23 "things"....most I probably will never use....but then it has been informative to know what's out there and one never knows when I will "need to know" one of these things!

Spent some time catching up and posting comments on the nebraska learns 2.0 blogsite. It wasn't really hard to do...just trying to remember what I had done for the "things." I'm still not sure how to actually make a "link" that people can click on and go directly to the site. I have noticed others simply stating the url..hope I did them right. Anyway. Now I have caught up. Better now than item #23!!!!!

Found out I have to go back and blog for each item that I have completed on that "thing's" blog. So will attempt to catch up with that this weekend! It's just a matter of remembering what my impressions were and what I thought at the time. That's ok. No problem.

This was an animation for a Halloween Party at the Stromsburg Public Library. It's supposed to be animated and the carving is supposed to say Halloween Fun at the Stromsburg Library.

So then, I have just created a Halloween Pumpkin animation. It says Halloween Fun at the Stromsburg Library. It could be used to advertise a teen event at the library for Halloween. I have it saved on my computer...now can I save it to my blog???? Not sure how to do that. Might have to ask Allana for some help. I think I used Generator Blog for the basic animation and then simply had to type in my own words.

Had some fun with #9...in fact had my husband on Flickrvision. Of course I told him to just go on Flickr.com....but of course he was not familiar with the site and typed in Flicker.com.....that's a porn site!!!! He wondered what I was doing in my Nebraska Learns 2.0!!!!!!

It was amazing to watch Flickrvision and imagine all these people uploading their pictures in the last minute around the world. WOW!!!! The Color Pickr was cool. And I experimented with my name and the library's name on Spell with Flickr. I can see that a library website might use some of these applications for interesting news and events.

Now my husband is really into Flickr....he looked up Stromsburg Nebraska and lo and behold found some people we know, a picture possibly taken from our street of the watertower in our backyard, Swedish Festival, etc. Pretty Cool!!!!!

I can see libraries using Flickr and its applications for posting their events etc, on their websites.

Okay...so I haven't posted for a few days! What a time I had even getting into my blog!!!! I've been busy with life what can I say! Had to go in through another door this time. Now it's time for me to take a look at things 8,9, and 10....Flickr stuff. Will do that and then try to post.

Okay! Not sure how to do links to flickr...but have a couple of really cool pictures. Nebraska Mothership by goldenstatephoto is a great weather shot from the panhandle. He has a series from his stormchasing vacation this summer. Another NE weather shot is Thunderstorm to the northeast of Kearney, NE by nebraskasc....again NE weather makes for great photos. Then a picture for nostalgia's sake....Downtown Aurora, IL second largest city by jmazich...it shows the Paramount Theater....where I saw my first movie and the Leland Tower which was a hotel which my grandfather, a brick mason, helped build. Both buildings are on the National Historic Registry. Flikr is a fun place to simply search for pictures of interest.

Took a look at Flickr the other day and was fascinated by all the pictures! Looked at pictures of MN and NE. I noted that some are marked "pro" and they gave some nice reviews of the amateurs. Neat way for amateurs to be recognized for their work. Will be looking at it again so I can include a link to some of the more interesting pictures.
