Dark Side

I have not had a phishing scam but I have had a lot of spam and pop-up messages. If the phishing messages are as realistic as the ones in the examples, then maybe I have been hit and didn't even know. I've been running updates on my anti-virus software and I'm really hoping not to fall into any traps or have my identity stolen.

Life Long Learning and 2.0

I'm studying to get my MLIS degree and the class I'm taking is all about learning to learn and reading for life. Using the Internet can help with those goals.
I liked eHow and How Stuff Works. I also found Businessballs to be interesting in its style.

Late response to OCLS & Library 2.0 Dec 2

Q. In your blog, describe how you see programs like The Orange Seed and Orlando Memory as being important to yourself and how they are important to the Library.

A. I believe that it is important to the Library because it helps keep us tied to the community. It imporves communication within the library (Orange Seed) and makes the community aware of the history of Orlando and how we (the library) play a part.

Finding Fun Things to Do

I found a site called Zango where people can play games and send them to freinds. I don't play too many games on line but I guess this would be fun for people who do.

I also found a site called Hairmixer that lets you download a photo of yourself and try new hairstyles. I thought this would be fun for young girls at a slumber party or for anyone interested in getting a new style. I also allows you to slim your face, change hair color and adjust the way you look. I might even go home and try it out.

Open Source Information

I found a site discussing some librarians who want to take cataloging from OCLC and make it a kind of open source.

Live, Learn, Work & Play

I LOVE the library. My career goal is to make the library a place where people will want to go. I especially want to get children into the library at a young age and help parents realize how important reading to a child is. Helping other people find hobbies and programs is wonderful too.
I have early memories of being brought to the main library for summer programs. They would show kids movies down in the basement! Man was it dark down there!!

Yahoo Answers

I went to Yahoo Answers to find out how to clear a fountain pen nib. I posted my question and got one answer. I went in recently to see if any other answers had been posted and found that there were many people asking about how to clear a blocked pen. I found some answers from checking other answers.
