a few of my favourite things

my favourite activity has to be travelling, this wins hands down, I am always researching my next adventure. I have travelled with my kids, my good friends, my husband when I had one, my partner, my mum, and I have enjoyed every trip. The best year of my life was travelling around Aust. for 12 months in a camper trailer with 2 little kids, I`d love to do it again in retirement (without the kids)

One of my entries into PBwiki

wiki stuff

I checked out the Library Outreach Wiki and Wikis in the workplace, with examples and information from the Library Success page, a shame everything is American, can`t we have some Australian examples from all the competent people here (like my colleague Zofia)!



The book lovers site appeared to be a good idea but the information is slightly out of date! (events advertised for August and book of the day was from September)

the things you learn!

Once again I try to watch the Lib 2.0 video "the machine is us" but this time on a work p/c, but the library p/c doesn`t have the facility to watch it here either. This seems to be a big problem- I can`t do the program at work (public library) as we don`t have adequate facilities and my home p/c doesn`t have all the programs required installed, and I am loathe to install any extra programs as I am on limited downloads and to go over my limit costs heaps! Technology is only as good as the hardware we have access to!
I did read about lib 2.0 in Wikipedia and learnt about Radical Trust, the underlying assumption of Lib 2.0.
I also checked out "site of the week" www.howstuffworks.com, I didn`t realize iPods could catch fire (self combustion from batteries!)

not so technical

exploring technorati- I wanted to watch the learning 2.0 video but apparently I haven`t got the latest flash player required for you tube!

this is an interesting site for any one who likes to travel (american orientated though)- there`s even a hint on how to capture the armrest on the plane!

nature`s will and power

I went in through the PLCMCL2 account- Tagging on Flickr & del.icio.us and found hot tags- looked at recently added photos of the wildfires in California.
