Week 8, Thing 19

As I was perusing the Web 2.0 awards list, I thought what would be the perfect site for me, one that just screams CRAIG pick me, CRAIG I am the one for you, CRAIG your name is written all over me...well here it is, the site I chose...wait for it...


















Cocktail Builder.

I bet you thought I was going to pick Craigslist. I'm not a big fan of classified ads (cool name though) but Cocktail Builder is quite useful. I entered a few of the ingredients that I know I have and I was given a list of 9 ready to drink cocktails just waiting for me to enjoy. It is a great resource to have at parties when all the good liquor has been enjoyed and only a few odds and ends are available. I can't wait to get home and start mixing...

Oh, I may be late tomorrow.

I kind of dig Zoho Writer. It's a good alternative to Word and can be used on the go when I don't have access to MS Office. An added is bonus is that I can post right to my blog. I also like the strikethrough feature, so if I make a mistake decide to I can cross out anything I like. I think that I will use Zoho quite frequently. Thank you Zoho!

High flight

This is one of my favorite poems, I used Zoho writer to post to my blog.

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

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.

Week 7, Thing 17

Well I have been playing in the sandbox and I have added myself to the favorite blogs list, you should scurry on over there and check it out, I hope it is not to ostentatious. Frankly speaking I am surprised that no one else has done it. It was very easy and quick to edit. Perhaps too easy...

Week 7, Thing 16

I am already somewhat familiar with wikis due to the fact that we use them frequently here at CCPL. What I really enjoyed as I was browsing other wikis was the BookLoversWiki at Princeton Public Library. I think that our patrons would live something like this, especially our book clubs that meet regularly. That would allow them to place reviews or even ask discussion questions about the books they are reading.

Week 6, Thing 15

Library 2.0...where to begin. I must be way too cynical but as I read through the library 2.0 perspectives it made me feel like libraries have been stuck in the stone age until just recently. Suddenly we have this new fangled technology and we must now begin to change how we do things. I've got news, libraries are changing and have been changing since the first library was created. Us librarians see change coming all the time and we are already finding new and creative ways to offer our services. So I have come to the conclusion that Library 2.0 is a creative way to market ourselves to non-library users so they get their butts off the street and into our stacks.
