Week #6, Thing #13

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Delicious could be useful. Set up an account and transferred all my bookmarks worth having to it. But not really interested in sharing. I think I love my privacy more than I love all these new toys. And I loved Library Thing. Can hardly wait to go home and catalog my home library (in my [...]

Week #5, Thing #12

Rollyo.
Hate it.
Don’t ever want to use it and certainly not add it to my blog.
Please.

Week #5, Thing #11

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Explored Ning and other Web 2.0 Awards. Many were blocked from school, so looked at them from home.
Ning seemed like an interesting resource, but with a  lot of trash also. The teacher-librarian parts discussion groups seem redundant or repetitive when we consider how many discussions, blogs, email groups, lists, bulletins, etc. are already out there. I don’t [...]

Week #5, Thing #10

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Assignment: to play around with an image generators.  Home Alone is the result. I played with Image Chef – found it dull and limited.
Played with Flickr BigHugeLabs http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/
Thought it had potential. Skipped the comics site, as I’m not a comics fan. I had the good excuse for not making an avatar for this blog because that site was [...]

An Explanation of 23 Things for OW

Monday, January 7th, 2008

These are passworded because I am doing a 23 step tutorial of Web 2.0 which requires me to blog about each step. The boredom involved in writing these will surely transmit itself to the reader and I see no reason to publically post anything where the main pronouns are “I” “me” and “my.”  “Not of general [...]

Week #4, Things #8 and #9

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I chose Bloglines to get my RSS. So now RSS becomes part of the information overload which characterizes our cyberworld.  But I will look at it for fun and a break from serious work.  A couple are blocked here at school. I’m not into sharing with the other children. How can we insist on our right to privacy [...]

Week #3, Thing #7

Hey teach, here’s my homework!
(Blog about anything related to technology)
I hate technology although I use it all the time, every day.  I see it as the bell which cannot be unrung. In other words, suck it up, it’s here to stay, you’re either for or against us.  In 1977 I made a speech to my [...]

Week #3, Thing #6

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Now I know how people waste a lot of time online. Virtual space has replaced reality and here I am contributing my own junk to the sea of garbage which already floats in cyperspace. Merde.
Used Trading Cards to make my own Library Trading Card and uploaded it to Flickr.
That’s it.  I think we could make [...]
