It's a Wrap!

Whew! What a ride.....it started out with needed help opening a blog,
easy beginning for couple days, slammed into Flickr,
(stranded till I got help from home) moved along a piece,
started enjoying all the new ideas until stuck at YouTube,
would never have escaped without help from a finished 23'er.
I felt good accomplishing things (23) but know I could easily
redo the entire course and find more things not touched upon.

All in all, good introduction for those who're getting aquainted with new tech,
but more structure and help would have benefited me....
perhaps some traveling techies to come out to branches,
designated gurus on call, small groups on thorny difficult assignments
there is such a huge gap in our ability and experience levels!

and yet another NPR update

Hey, while stuck in Livingston construction traffic,
I heard the Monday version of "All Tech Considered"
on the All Things Considered broadcast.

It helped defuse my frustration, but I sure do wish
that Livingston project is coming to an end soon.

PS

And, it's free!

MOLDI ?

Once you get past the acronym, (which conjures up grease and sludge)
you enter a wonderful new outlet for book lovers.

A tutorial, which is easy to follow and understand, greets you.

The idea of having access to audio books any time is great,
and even better is never having to think about overdue
fines, since the books are automatically erased when due.

A great addition for our readers, and easy to access.

Podcasts

Whoa!

I've been feeling quite behind the times here,

But I heard the "Science Friday" guy, Ira, at NPR talking about
tweets and encouraging the listeners to join them.

I was delighted to realize I knew what it was!
Hope that I'll be able to keep listening and finding more
new stuff in the future.

You Tube may be the last straw!

It took me a long time to get this to come out,
I didn't know I had to use Edit Html.....

Such a small step, but important


This is a great moment
in panda-hood!
