Mashups

I never realised that when I used sites such as whereis.com.au and I looked at the maps and sometimes changed to view, that these were called mashups. I love the calendar maker on 'big huge lab'. This is what I've created.

Week 8 and 9

Those answer boards are great. I've answered one question already. It's good to get tougher questions and test my research skills.
As for podcasts, I can't do that here at work. No sound. No USB ports (even for the public). Hopeless.

Library Thing

I've already used Library thing before. But instead of using it to document what books I have at home, I use it to list books that I've read or heard about and want to read in the future. That way if I'm out and have access to the internet I can check what titles I want (saves me carrying around a tatty piece of paper) http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php I don't know if this link will work. Looks pretty generic to me.

Del.icio.us

This is great. It means that I can be at a computer that doesn't have my favourites saved, but still get access to my favourites. I'm still working on adding my favourites, but here it is so far: http://del.icio.us/wendyt26

Going great guns

I can't believe it. I've just added videos to the blog. There's not stopping me now!

Videos

I can't believe the stuff that is out there on Google video (work doesn't allow you tube). From watching someone bungee jumping or flying an aeroplane to people giving anonymous book reviews. I don't know why some of the stuff is on there - pure enjoyment and entertainment I suppose. I'm just new to this phenomenon of using the internet for more than a research tool. Oh, the possibilities.

Wiki

I can't believe it. I've made a change to something on wikipedia. Nothing major - just added in the link for our library from the info already on wikipedia on the suburb where I work. Who would have thought - me who doesn't use wikipedia had made a change.
