The Finale

My journey through the 23 Things has been done in the company of someone who I've come to love & look forward to catching up with whenever I can. This friend is Mma Precious Ramotswe owner of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency in Garabone, Botswana. For anyone interested Precious has recently married the kind Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni & life is good on Zebra Drive.

So although this journey has been time consuming & sometimes frustrating, I've enjoyed it & have learnt something. I raise my glass & give a toast to Precious & Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni & the 23 Things finale.

Meebo & me

I was introduced to Meebo recently & it/he/she is very friendly. Students/clients can ask questions when I'm online. Strangely enough I don't seem to have much time to be online.

Movie Pod

I have a habit of missing the David & Margaret each week, opinionating over the latest movies - why not pod them instead.

Not Entertaining

Why? Who are these people who feel the need to broadcast themselves on YouTube. I'm sorry but this site bores me senseless. If you can find an interesting video related to librarians you are better than me. Even the endless 'sexy librarian' videos are tedious, & Medical Librarians on the dance floor - pleeese!

My Pet Wiki

Sadly I have no living/breathing pet, but have contributed a picture to the Wiki Library.
It may not be cute like some of the other photographs - but it is dear to my heart.

Not Just for Geeks

Its not the latest set of toys for the geeks! - "Web 2.0 is a set of technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available; rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities."(Techsoup 2008)
I agree with Stephen Fry who believes that emerging technologies means that the idea that you could lose a moment in time has almost completely disappeared

An Apple a Day?

Is the name contentious - & a little bit Appley (ie. iMac, iPod, iTunes) ? Isn't the CEO of Google on the Apple Board? Does it really matter? Its hugely popular & most of the reviews are positive. I'm warming to the 'i' - it has become my personal Google page. I'm not sure Mma Ramotswe would approve, she is a tradionally built women & likes the old Botswanian ways.
