Week 9, Thing 21

Podcasts are not for everyone, I myself enjoy them. A lot of people probably find it too much like listening to the radio, which it is, but the variety of items available to listen to is astounding. But you don't have to just listen, you can also watch.

One of my favorites is TV Squad Daily with Brigitte. As many of you may know my hobby is watching TV, and YES I do consider it a hobby. In this podcast, Brigitte brings current events and happenings from the world of TV, she podcasts daily and always has current topics.

Podcast could be quite useful to libraries, we could podcast a daily schedule of events, stories, reviews, book lists, and on and on.

Week 9, Thing 20

I am addicted to youtube and have been for a while. I am always finding new and interesting things to watch. One of my favorite activities to find video mashups, below you will find a Mashup between Fergie "London Bridge" and Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" please be warned that some of the lyrics are a little colorful.



You might recognize the tune of the next video from Staff Day or the Risk Takers Network



I also use youtube to find clips from some of my favorite TV shows. Below is a clip from "The Office."



Youtube could be an excellent resource for CCPL, we could use it to post training videos, RTN videos, story times, the possibilities seem endless.

The Office

The Office is now one of my favorite shows; I took a quiz to see which of the characters I am most like. You can see my results in the right hand panel.

It's a conspiracy I say

My "warped" friend Christine recently posted on her blog, that she watches very little television. I find this both amazing and frightening, those of you who know me know that I watch entirely way too much television. I figure that I am just getting my monies worth, what with the cost of cable TV these days.

Then it hit me! There is a vast conspiracy against me! The conspirators include my wife, my doctor, CCPL and the Maryland State Department of Education. You all thought you were so clever but I have figured it all out. Everyone wants me to stop watching so much television.

Here is my theory: My wife Jacie (pronounced Jackie) is the ring leader of course, always plotting, she is. She is the one who coerced me into going to the doctor (I'm glad she did), and my doctor told me to start exercising. Which, of course, is a way to get me away from the TV. But, alas , there efforts were not as far reaching as they would hope, as I was able to fit exercise easily into my television schedule.

Now the plot gets more insidious as my wife and doctor included both CCPL and MSDE into their evil plans...and created...the 23 things! By creating 23 things everyone knew that I would get addicted to my blog, and by blogging at least I was being somewhat productive, and not sitting in front of the television. Well I am on to you. Very, very cunning.

Either that or I am crazy.
