Week #10 Podcasting

I think podcasts are pretty spectacular. I think of them as people's personal little radio broadcasts. It's amazing to me that people across the country (and globe) can be at home recording their audio and get it out their on the web to share with the world.

I subscribe to a few podcasts. The official Lost podcast is particularly useful in figuring out what is going on in the creators' minds.

Did you know you can subscribe to podcasts through Tivo? Pretty neat, huh!

I'm really glad to see downloadable audiobooks are a part of Learn2.0. They can be a little intimidating if you have never tried them or are completely unfamiliar with them. Once you go through the steps and see how it all works, it's a snap.

Week #9 Music Mayhem

That library musical video was hilarious. I think we should do some of that around here.

As far as the DRM debate goes, I don't have a strong opinion on the matter. I think it should be completely up to the content creator (artist, e.g.) how their media use is restricted (or not).

(Places like youtube seem to be way out of hand though as far as what's available that's copyright protected.)

Week #8 Meet Penguin and Chick

I like online learning (and still like cracking open old-fashion manuals). With some of the application we use or when we're exploring new applications, I find online tutorials very helpful. Especially these days with the advent of screencasting where you can see a person's recorded screen and follow exactly what they are doing.

Week #7 Havin' Fun*

* not that every week isn't fun.

I excelled at Quiz Time. And apparently I'm easily bluf'd according to Blufr.

Week #6 For Book Lovers

Interesting to note that more people are selling Jaguars than Ford Escapes within a 250 mile radius of my zip.



I am glad to see that the LaBelle Municipal Airport has made it into Wikimapia.

BookMooch! What an excellent idea.

I totally expected What Do I Read Next? to take me to our database and was suprised to see a different site. Same principal though. The database I think let's you do more filtering in your searching.

Hmmm...favorite library technology...downloadable audiobooks are pretty neat. And MyLibraryDV.
