Mysterious picture of my husband's favorite cat ever, Banjo. He looks smarter in this picture than he is.

The End

Finally I have finished the 23 things. Although I didn't spend a lot of time on most of them, at least I did look at all of them. The most interesting to me, that I didn't know anything about before, was MOLDI. I enjoyed playing with the graphics generator, making my cat picture into a pop art masterpiece. So when I have some extra time, I think I will go back to some of these "things" and get more comfortable with them.

MOLDI

Being able to listen to books or music online or download to an Ipod is probably the most interesting thing I have learned about in the 23 Things. The home page of CML makes it so easy to browse the titles and although I haven't listened to anything yet, I did put some titles on my wish list.

CML toolbox

I like the "highligher" tool in the toolbox since I often look up book titles at home and then order them from CML. Having the toolbar is also helpful for checking my account at home.

Googledocs

I understand sharing word documents that are online and not just your own file would be helpful in group work or joint editing. Many times my husband has edited papers for ours sons and they emailed the documents back and forth. Using googledocs would probably be easier. I'm sure library working groups could do the same thing and it would make it easier for a group to read and edit documents or spreadsheets.

Podcasts

Today I learned about podcasting and explored the sites for something interesting to listen to. I am not one to listen to radio news or interviews. I did find an interview with Sara Moulton done at the CIA about her job at Gourmet Magazine.
