Mashups

I explored the Flickr Mashups -- what fun! I loved the examples: Spell with Flickr, Montager, and Flickr Color Pickr. Also, the Flash app An Interesting 2005 was great. What amazing photos!

I think my favorite is Montager because there are multiple levels to this one. Enter a tag or image and it creates a photo montage that imitates the lead image displayed on the left. Changing the photo or tag creates a new montage with new photos. Interesting effect.

Flickr

Okay, so I've been a little behind in updating my blog. I'll be playing catch-up for a while. Here is a photo I uploaded into Flickr. Maddie had a trip to San Fran for a band concert and this is a photo she took. So much for Exercise #5 ... it's on to #6!

Check out the book I'm reading now

By now, most of you know that I'm reading the book "I'm Not the New Me" by Wendy McClure. It's a funny book about her Weight Watchers experience. But one of the funniest things are the vintage Weight Watchers recipe cards that I've been sharing.

Here's a link to the recipe cards: http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html

Learning 2.0

I'm excited about Learning 2.0 and the opportunity for learning and sharing with other staff. Setting up my blog was easy and fun.

I'm always eager to learn new things whether at work or elsewhere. Of course, working in a library is the ideal place to pick up information about just about everything. I love it!
