Sharing Documents

Every month or so Toni uses eLibcat, and other Library Service blogs etc to create a New Book list. This is the one that I created for Summer Reading 2008-9

Mashups or was that Bangers and Mash

I wish I had have known about this before I went overseas. Even though I had a passport, an Id Card would have been great. I have made note of the http://bighugelabs.com/ site so that I can go beserk making calendars, jigsaws etc.

Podcasting?

I have just listened to a couple of podcasts from Curtain University and what a great way to listen to lectures and or tutorials instead of reading transcripts. For those who studying via Open University or on-line, this would be and probably is a great tool. I can see this being used by the BCC Library Services for public training on-line or even inhouse.

Wild Thing

I wanted to show everyone how clever I was and pick 5 of my favourite books in Library Thing, but due to a technicality on my computer (ie unabled cookies) I was unable to do this. So I will tell you what they are instead....

Here are some of my favourite books -



"Garfield Blots out the Sun"

"Garfield: Large & In Charge"

"Garfield: Fat Cat 3-Pack"

"A Tail of Two Cities"

and "Garfield Minus Garfield"

I'm Thinking of my Stomach

I have just found a great way to take my bookmarks with me where ever I go. It would have been so handy when I was galvanting around the world. When I first heard the name, I thought I would have unlimited access to Toni and David's delicious lasagne, but that wasn't the case!!!

Here is the link to my delicious account. http://delicious.com/taw1959

Videos of Garfield?

My hareem - I wish!!


Unfortunately I (Garfield) only had still photos taken of me when I was overseas, but if only I could have got in front of the video camera. Especially in Kenya, where my cousins the lions, cheetahs and leopards were having so much fun.





In one instance we came across a pride of lions where Grandad was looking after the kids, I wanted to join in but Toni and David wouldn't let me. The reckined that I would have been an entree, had I stepped out of the vehicle!!

Here is a video of me and lions at the zoo

Wikis etc

I have just looked at some of the wikis and was impressed that anyone can comment or edit content. Garfield seems to always have things to say for himslef, maybe he should be a Wiki connoisseur.
