7)One of my favorite places in the world is Lake Crescent on the Olympic Penninsula
8)One of the best experiences ever was visiting Van Gogh Museum
9)Spent 5 months hitchhiking through Europe
10)Have a brother who is a huge Harley Davidson fan

Library Thing

Seems like ages ago I set up a Shelfari account witht the best of intentions but never did much of anything. Thanks to the nudge from Learn & Play I have been adding recent reads and hope to go back and put in lots more from further back in time!

Podcast Directories

I used podfeed.net and found HomeWizards and saw Cindy's Pond gets installed. Not much how to but lovely inspiration if you have the $ to have a team arrive for a one day installation.

Summary of Learn & Play

What an adventure this has been! The biggest challenge has been finding the time and also giving myself permission to play with "technology". I learned an incredible amount but feel like I have just scratched the surface of what's available to discover and use. I'm hoping the 23 things will stay posted so I can go back and explore some more.

Image Generator

This particular exercise made me feel tech challenged. However I found glowtxt.com which was fun and downloaded a neat birthday greeting for a friend.

CML Wiki Sandbox

Okay I'm racing to the finish line on the day before the deadline . . . just applied for access to the CML sandbox. Anyway, what fun to read about fellow staffer's book favorites-- a perfect segue to the RA tactic that will begin in the first quarter of next year. I'm in and added a few comments to the favorite books.

Bloglines & Library Blogs

I set up a bloglines account a while ago, but I'm now trying to do more with Google reader. A favorite website that I am trying to set up as an RSS feed is Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind--great mystery reviews and publishing news.
