August 19: Jill says I have to document what I've learned. I added a slide to the Adventures in Technology Google docs, of the Santa Monica Public Library. I never saw a library with a river running through it before! I set up an account on Flickr for the library. I upgraded my Firefox version.
I'm subscribed to bunches of RSS feeds, using Bloglines as my aggregator, including: aldaily.com/ (Arts & Letters Daily; today it says, There was huge drop in semicolon use from the 18th through the 19th centuries, from 68.1 per 1000 words to 17.7. And that's just the start of the trouble..)
fastcompany.com/bigideas (from Fast Company, one of my favorite publications slash websites; today it says,"Sites like Twitter and Facebook will never make much money from advertising: social media users are too busy being social to pay)
readwriteweb/weekly/ ; last week's wrapup says, Imeem is a site where users can listen to licensed streaming music, as well as upload music and blog about it - all for free. Now, Imeem is the third-largest social network in the United States after MySpace and Facebook; and it's now the No. 1 streaming music site in the US.
Benton Foundation Headlines ; today it says, As the switch to digital TV nears, concern about old TVs piling up in landfills has prompted state and local governments to develop recycling programs.
And of course the Dewey blog, and I've got an alert through Ebsco to new articles about the Rolling Stones. Bloglines works through Netscape and sometimes gets weird.
I have my shiny toy, a flash drive, as my reward for slogging through the first session of Adventures in Technology. Ready for round two!
