I am so excited, I have found a "lot" of Book Review Blogs to follow. The sad part is, a lot of the are J and YA book review, and we do not have 99% of them at our Branch. PLEASE won't some one take note and start making sure that we get a copy of the new books that come in. I don't see why "we" would have to order an more copies of the books. Just give us one of the 4 or more copies that go to another Branch.
Ok this is all I will say on this subject for now.
Maybe one day I will be interested in learning a 2nd language, but not right now. I guess I am intiminated by by sister, brother and sister in law. My s-i-l is from Holland and knows about 6 languages. They learn them in school. Maybe if I wasn't quite so old I would have had Spanish in HS. Although that ma;y not be the only reason it wasn't offered, I had only 30 students in my HS Class & around 300 in 1-12.. And now my brother lives in Holland with his wife, and he is learning Dutch. At least he says he is. I saw a picture of him supposedly on the Computer with headphones on learning Dutch. But I haven't actually heard him speak it yet. Hopefully if they come back to visit us some day I will be able to quiz him on it. And then there is my sister who has been studying Spanish for ever. I haven't asked her lately if she is still taking it. She even went to take courses at the Jr. College where she lives. And bought a PC program before there were WEB sites where you can learn for free. Or mayber there were but we were just to PC illietereate to know there were. So there are my reasons for putting it off right now.:) But the Webtopicks lesson was good, and I did read all the blurb's on OCLS Web site about what we offer.
Read more...The Webtopicks for last week on Podcast was very informative. And it would be an interesting project. But, I do not have access to a PC that a microphone can be used on. I did see where one of the Websites OCLS uses has a means of using your phone to record. I would do this if I had a need to do a Podcast. But since I don't I am not going to pay the $99 a year that it would cost.
Read more...This is an interesting blog to follow, because it is following the 1950-60 era. I was in my teens and early 20's at the time. It is "funny" how many books I do not recoginze/remember from that time period, even though I have always been a lover of books. I guess most of it stems from the place where I lived. A very small town in Central Florida. And my mama was my English teacher, who was raised mostly by a step-mother in Puritan New England. Actually she graduated from Winter Garden High School, and attneded FSCW. But I imagine her step-mother and Father brought along their Puritan ways when they moved to Florida.
Read more...Yea I just found a new blog I want to follow and have been able to add it to my follows list.
Thanks to twitter and persistence, I got it.
Today I finished the WebTopicks unit on RSS feeds. I had already signed up with Bloglines, so I will continue to use it. I have added some news sources to my feeds.
As for Blogs to follow, there is only one I am folloing right now, and I am folloing it on Blogspots.
Am looking forward to being with family on the 4th to watch Fireworks. Hope we can get a good spot, and it doesn't rain.
Read more...I looked up Library of Congress on each search engine. Lexe was my least favorite. It seemed to me that it didn't do much. And the first response was US Copyright Office. What is that!!
Hakia was ok. But my 2 favorite were Quintura and Bing. Although I had a hard time getting to
Bing. Actually Quintura also because I spelled it wrong and ended on bing, but not the one for the search engine,, or something that didn't look the same. I like Quintura because it has related words in a cloud on the side. The word changes with each deeper search. Bing was good too as it has a lot of information on the home page.
And in my searching I found another interesting site call eHow.
Hope I can remember all of these new names.
