Thing 15

Technology is cool and wonderful. It helped save my husbands life and my son's ability to regain the use of his legs after spinal cord surgery;but in the long run it is the human heart and hands that are the important things. The library is the same;computers and technocrafts are wonderful inventions but people, good, bad and indifferent are the key. None of the essayists plainly stated that technology needs a human face but I think it does.

Rollyo

This task didn't hit my spot but it could be useful down the road if and when I decide to really create a website or search engine. My bookmarks are so varied( from Shaolin Gung Fu to Catholic Home Schooling and Bad Rap Bay Area doglovers, a site devoted to Pit Bulls and how wonderful they are etc.,we have two, Bone and his sister Ghost, to Amanda Craig's book review.) that I couldn't decide where to start.
Enough, I'm done.

Delicious and a note about Merlin

I now have a delicious account and several rss feeds attached to it. This might work for me-- it might even be interesting.

It's thru' Merlin that I registered my account;just so you know.

Merlin has lots of helps.

Library Thing

I already have a Library Thing account thanks to my bookseller, Louis, in Ireland.
I'm out!

Thing 9 Merlin,etc.

I found Merlin helpful in two ways;One, it has calendars from various MD library systems showing the workshops available to attend and I also added my first RSS feed to my Google reader account. This took a bit of time because the first eight or so sites that I have bookmarked have no Feed icon.

I'm still not wowed by technology but Merlin is a great resource for tech help.

Thing 10

The whole avatar generator thing is not interesting to me. Tried it didn't like it but I did like knowing where to go just in case one day ...
