Wrapping Up

I really enjoyed this whole Challenge. I will be sad not to have new things to blog about. Even though I was frustrated with some things we learned, all in all, I was happy to learn about new things. I hope that we will have new challenges. I'm looking forward to Web 3.0. Thank you for this challenge. It was a pleasant diversion from work! It really brought us together as a team!

Flickr was a great experience for me. I have a digital camera, but had no idea how to use it or what to do with my pictures. I showed my daughter, and she took over my account right away! Now all her friends are looking at her photos and they are having fun. Before she just used her My Space. As an aside note: she showed me her My Space album. This is one more thing we can share as a family! :)

Library Thing was one of the best things of the challenge for me. I think I am a highly organized person, and making a list of my favorite books was on my "to do" list for my old age. I have over 200 books on my list now! I did have to join the site as I have too many books for the free site. It's ok. I only have to pay once.

I loved YouTube. I was already a YouTube addict. I really enjoyed seeing what other people liked and posted on their blogs. You can really learn alot of your co-workers by seeing what they YouTube about!

Also, I will love NJ Listen, and ebooks. My new mp3 player will allow me to listen to books on tape in a new way. I am still using my cd player at home. How old fashioned am I?

I think the thing I least liked was del.icio.us. I may like it in the future. I may have to work with it more.

Thanks again for the challenge. :)

Playing in the Sandbox

Hi. I did like the sandbox. It was fun. It was like writing graffiti on a blank wall. Or writing on a chalkbox. I liked reading what everyone else wrote. I also added my name to the link list. I had to try this twice because I was not bringing down the html box. I also learned to cancel the history of my edits. (This makes it look as if I only posted once!)

NJ Listen - ebook (part 2)

Yay! I was able to listen to the first section of Pride and Prejudice from NJ Listen. Freda was so kind to bring in her laptop to work on this project. We spent 1 hour downloading the updates and exploring windows media player. It was a good feeling to get this thing to work. We were so happy when the author's voice came over the speakers! Thank you Freda for taking so much time out of your busy day to work on this!

NJ Listen Library

I think I will use this all the time with my new MP3 Player! It was easy to use. I found a book that I wanted to listen to. Artemis Fowl. I tried to download, but since I was not using the pc plus, I could not listen to it. That's ok. I will try it at home. I was also suprised to find out that my library card could not be used because I have reached the limit of my check-outs! That's a cool feature. I needed to look up my daughter's library card number to check-out the book. NJ Listen says I have 10 days with my item. I can't wait. :)

Odeo Podcast

I liked this site better than ipodcast. I found what I wanted very easily. I was also able to obtain the code without adding any other software to my computer.
I will definately go back to this site. I like the look of the player and also the site categories.

This part of the challenge was fun and I may use this on my MP3 player. Thanks!

Podcasts.

I was interested in this podcast:

Religious Podcasts.



*After picking the podcasts that I was interested in, I had some technical difficulity. It seems that the computers need a plug and play audio. I'll have to try this at home. Our pc's from work do not let me listen to what I would like.

To play this classic game, please use the ARROW keys.

I'm YouTube Crazy.

I really enjoyed this part of the blog. I go to YouTube at least once a day.

The reason I put the wind chimes in a seperate entry is because I did not want it to get lost in a playlist. The visitors to this blog may not see it after Linkin Park. I know that alot of people do not like to listen to that kind of music. So, I made 2 choices for people to listen to! I hope you don't mind. :)

Wind Chimes from YouTube

In The End by Linkin Park

I love this song. Some of the words have true meaning to me.
In The End lyrics

(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

web awards 2.0 widgets & pandora

I really liked Pandora. I love music and I am always looking for new groups/bands to listen to. As soon as I put a category "suave" in, I had many choices and lots of new artists. The sound was clear and I think I will use this at home. I am always on youtube, and have at least 200 songs in my playlist. I hope this will help me find new materials.

If you know of any other sites like this, please let me know. :)

On Web 2.0 awards: I looked up widgets. I could not find any that I liked to put on my blog. I love those little things. I think they make the blogs look cool. :)
