Podcasts

I guess I must be getting the hang of some of this stuff. I found a podcast of Nancy Pearl's book reviews and I got it successfully loaded on my bloglines account. I didn't even have to review how to do it. I mean, that is success!!!! How great it will be to have Nancy's latest reviews right there when I log on. I guess there are some things that I do like about this new technology. All I had to do was keep on looking until I found it.

YouTube

So my husband has been telling me about all the videos that he has watched on YouTube. I haven't seen many that I have found entertaining. I did however, look up a video my brother told me about. Back in the 1970's our family was involved with a local percussion/brass performing group called the Perscussionauts. The director and percussion instructor recently had a video posted on YouTube celebrating the 30 year anniversary of a trip we took to Europe. I watched and was immediately taken back in time to the good old days. It was so great to see that Howie (he is pushing 90 years old) was still out there and doing what he did best, performing! I particularly enjoyed reading all the responses from people that were in the group back then. I would use this site for this kind of viewing, but lots of the videos that I looked at were less than entertaining.

Award winning Web 2.0 sites

Seems like is has been a while since I have worked on Library 2.0. I am getting to the end, so I am working on finishing it up. I spend a bit of time bumping around really liked the Imcooked site. It was fun, and I loved to see regular people share their recipes and better yet video so you could see them make the dish. I am not sure how you could use this at the library level. I picture it as more a fun site for personal use. I enjoyed it and saw some good recipes that I would make (if I still cooked).
