Quest 12

Now we are talking . I love youtube. i can make a mix of music and sit back and watch or do other things while i am listening to the music. now i found this clip and i thought that it was great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8EqGaRMUi4

well i sent to a site and if had the teens doing podcast about the library ansd some of the rules that libraries have. http://www.cheshirelib.org/teens/cplpodcast.htm

Quest 11

This is an OK program. I have to admit that whomever came up with this is very smart. I am wondering if this program is good enough that you can send attachment and would someone that is using a word on XP or Vista can open it and be able to make changes and corrections to it. Aldo do you have to be connected to the Internet. If all these cases are possible than hey I have a new best friend.

Quest 10

I have to say that I loved the evite site but it has it pros and cons. the problem is that i am the worst person to give an email address to becasue i always seem to lose it. and i also dislike the site because it takes away from the personal touch that an invite that is hand written or given does. but for the busy person that is an easy way to get the invites out.

Quest 9

Now I can see why my professor tell us not to use the Wikipedia. I now know that it is a website that has been put together by the public . I wonder what is done when someone put the wrong information on the site. is there a way that someelse can edit someone else's information.

quest 8

Now that was a great video. that was so simple that the average person could understand it. as for me i have an myspace and a blackplanet account. with the myspace account i found a lot of people that i went to school with and some of those that i have not seen in a wile.

Quest 7

http://www.flickr.com/photos/72758830@N00/513786844/

The reason that i chose this picture is because i feel that is a very beautiful picture. I think that this picture captures the true essence of the Waterfront park. The water coming of the fountain is a great memory to have of the Charleston area if you are a tourist. and the flowers i think represent the growth this is taking place here in Charleston. Many tourist come to here and the say that they love the beauty of the city and i feel that the person that took this photo did a get job when taking this image.

Quest 6

well today we are talking about tagging. we are suppose to look at this 12 minute video for Del.icio.us but for some reason the video is not working on today. I really do not get a feel for this site because of avenues that you can go with. i feel that if i was to introduce to the everyday patron they would become completely lost. But i also feel that tagging is a great way for a reader like me to see what others are reading.

Quest 5

Well I have to say that I enjoy the Pandora website. I love the music of Toni Braxton and I would have never thought about some of the music that the site said was similar to it. This is one of those sites that i feel that i can get into. i tried to look at the Craig's list but it looks very much like a spammer's site and i feel that they might want to make the site more appealing to attachers to their site.

Quest 4

Well, what can i say but that to learn about RSS ona monday morning is crazy. I use the bloglines and set up an account. one of the feeds that i sursbibe to was the feed by the national wather service. it is cool to have the information on the hurrican deal from the site instead of having to go to so many other sites. i also signed up for feeds about music news. because ysll know that i love my music. well i have to run because i am off the desk and i have other work to do. Well the moment that you guys have been waiting on. here is the link to my blog line.... http://www.bloglines.com/public/patricesmith29407. Like always PEACE>

Quest 3

Hey people. What is going on? Well it is another morning at John L. Dart Library and I am having a great day so far. Well Quest 3 was about IM. Well, I tired it last night with a friend of mine that is in the military and is stationed in Japan. I have to say he started to use Internet slang and i got lost. but i can say that i am finding a way to say money. i mean i have im before but i have never done a whole conversation. but it is just like texting with my cell. so it was easy. but i have to go because i have an African American trivia bowl in about 2 weeks on the the Aug 29 at 3:30pm. so i am trying to get the questions together. hey if you wanna come join me and bring a friend. See ya. Peace and only love.

Quest 2

Well I was ahead of myself when I did my first blog and i have to say that it feels great. i think i have another way of using this blog thingy. I will first be myself. i know that my bosses are going to see this but i have to be true and honest to myself first. so i might misspell things and talk in slang sometimes but if you do not understand let me know and i will explain myself. I love to read urban books and I am known for it at the library that i work at ( John L. Dart Library apart of the Charleston County Public Library at 1067 King Street , Charleston SC 29403). So I think that i am going to start to write about the books that i read, give info about the authors, and mainly rate and tell about how i feel about the books. so look forward to that. The book that i am reading now is call Me and Mrs. Jones. The author of this book is K M Thompson. All I can say is so far so good. Really Just started it. See ya tomorrow at later today. Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting tech trek Week 1

Well, I just started a program that the CCPL is giving to it employees about the new library. that is the way that Isum it up. And i must say that i have learned a good bit of information. The first lesson was about 7 1/2 good habits and about making a learning contract. well i thought that this would be a great program for my son and me. As he is entering pre-K, i am now having the problems of not wanting to do his work and me not wanting to finish projects. Maybe this will help. Over the next 12 weeks we will see.
