Really Simple Syn.

I never heard of RSS. It is a time saver. I like to check these sites, and using the Google Reader, makes for one stop looking.

These are the links I picked:

cnn.com

statesman.com

lib.asu.edu/librarychannel

I found this poster-maker in fd's Flickr Toys. What possibilities. I've always thought this was a pretty picture, and I think it's really neat that my son got to go to Brazil and visit this place. He lives life to the fullest and doesn't let anything stop him.

My Library Trading Card

How cool, Library Trading Cards! I looked at the Mappr, FlickrColor Pickr, and Montagr. Pretty neat, but I don't think I would use them very often. But, it's good to know what's out there.

You can do this at:

Flickr vs Picasa

I did not see much difference. They look very similar. I'm sure that people that have used both for a while could tell more about them. I did notice Picasa had a game on it that was fun.

I am posting about what I learned about Google. One thing I learned is that a lot of people don't know what all Google has to offer, more than it's a search engine. I've used the images feature a lot, but I think now I will use some of the other features as well.

This is a post about the 71/2 habits of Learning. I love the 1/2, it's PLAY! I need to remember that, just play and try new things with technology, not be afraid of the new. It's easy for me to accomplish # 7, to teach/mentor others. Once I know how to do something, I enjoy sharing info.
