#14 Technorati

Where do these people find the time to blog on endlessly about themselves! Sorry but I think blogging is not for me!

Technorati, I did A search on myself but I am obviously not intersting enough to web crawl. However I did do a search on someone I know who does blog on a daily basis and low and behold there were hundreds of links to her blog. Check out Poppalina!

#13 Delicious!!

Well, I had a look around Delicious and I found my way to a fantastic site full of Web 2.0 thingys. I can see that social bookmarking can be a great tool to find interesting websites for anything you may be interested in. Let's face it most of us just google and look at the first 10 sites. I've already discovered heaps of sites and things I didn't have a clue about!

#11 LIBRARY THING

Well doesn't this appeal to the cataloguer in all of us. I loved the suggested reads based on your library, great if your looking for new authors or something in your subject area.

#8 RSS Feeds




I have to admit I found this the most tedious exercise but I can see the benfits for some people.

#7 New Technology

I worked for a company once that sold computer systems, they started at $120,000 and took up nearly a whole building. We use to insert giant tapes onto the machines to record everything. We communicated daily with America through the most basic system which when I look back on it now, feels like it was morse code. Everything was on the cutting edge & the salesmen got big bonuses. When I went to the museum recently those same computers featured in the exhibition on early computing. - I felt very old.

#6 Flickr fun



Well I tried to have fun by making a trading card. It was all very friendly except for when I inserted my picture. My picture was obviously too big and so came out blurred but I will try again with a different picture. The link to the map page didn't work, I think the site must have fallen off the map!



Yes, my trading card worked. Meet Pengy!

#5 Flickr: VIEW FROM THE HILL


After we've run up the hill we spend a moment catching our breaths and taking in the view.

My buddy calls these the golden hats.

Scuttle's Big Day Out

I am practising running up the hill behind my house. My Buddy calls me Scuttle after we read the picture book. I don't think I look like Scuttle but it has provided him with many hours of amusement. We run up the hill together and he laughs about how I will fall over and roll down the hill like a big roly poly Scuttle.
