#23 - The End

Nothing inspires like the last minute so here I am on the 26th of September trying to make my September 30th deadline. Hooray I seem to be making it!

I would wholeheartedly recommend that libraries continue to drag us (library staff) kicking and screaming into the 21st century by encouraging and cajoling us to complete assignments like this. I would never had thought of doing the types of things that I have done over the last three months....bloggs...youtube...podcasts. Keep up the good work and give us more of these.

What I learned...
I like the idea of a blog. I like the central place where everyone can add some information.
I now love my MP3 player even though I have very little music on it, but use it for books instead.
I really liked bloglines and having specific columnists at the ready for reading and not having to comb the entire on line paper for what you want. Thanks to Ellen I now have interesting library reading that I really enjoy and do actually think will improve my work.

IThe negative for me is twofold.

Despite the ease it is adverised as being...it is not. Once you get through the process it is much easier to repeat it, but the time spent setting thing up is a big issue.

I am worried for the future of the world when we have provided so much free space for odd entertainment and riduculous people doing and saying riduculous things. It represents to me so much wasted time and effort with no real goal in mind. They used to call TV the Wasteland, but the internet has TV beat.


But I loved it all.
