Thing 7

I love text messaging! I use it on my cell phone all the time. I also IM with my sister on a regular basis. We haven't used these in the library as of yet. I think it would be a great way to open the lines of communication with the younger aged group as well as the busy people all around us.

Thing 6

The online image generator is pretty cool! I think it would be a fun idea to make a puzzle or trading card as presents and now I know I can do it!

Thing 5

Mash up looks fun too! I think I'll play around with the flickr stuff first, but it's nice to know there's even more out there in the great big computer world!

Thing 4

Flickr is AWESOME!!! I am so excited to use it on my home PC! The information was easy to follow and I love how I can arrange my pictures so many different ways.

Thing 3

RSS is really cool! It will deinately help speed up my daily searches. I spend so much time going to individual websites that this will be a very useful tool for me.

Thing 2

I found the information very interesting. I'm excited to see that the librarians I work with are already trying to implement some of these ideas. We have already hosted a gaming program at our local branch and are hoping to do more of the same in 2008. It's also interesting to know that some people don't think of this as a fact when it already exists all around us. Like in everything we have to keep up with the times and let's face it our future is all about tehnology.

Where oh where books go...

Have you ever thought of all the places the books we read go? We bring them on vacation to wonderful places, doctor's appointments, restaurants, and so much more.

I was at my daughter's gymnastics class last week reading "90 Minutes in Heaven" when I was approached by two other mother's. One asked about the book I was reading and the other told me she read the same book while on a business trip a couple of weeks ago.

It got me thinking if only books themselves could talk, what stories they could tell.
