Wikis and Google Docs

I have always thought Wikipedia was surprisingly good. After listening to Jimmy Wales, I still think it's quite good, but I am not so surprised. Google Docs seems quite cool too -- sort of like our TPPL drives, but I could assess docs from home too. I played around with a couple of other things in Google, but didn't have time to explore a lot. Liked Google Books and Google World.

Face Book et al

Okay, so I finally did it -- I joined Face Book. I honestly don't know whether I will ever do anything with it though. I still don't really see the point -- or is it that I just don't want to be bothered? It feels like another obligation. I did like the TPPL page though. It's come a long way in a very short time. Congratulations Susan and all.

I found this quite confusing. I always find it difficult to follow directions posted on a computer that call for me to do things on another site or window or tab or whatever. I usually make a paper copy of the instructions to follow, but then, of course, the links don't work. I never really knew where I was. I wound up posting quite a number of copies of the same picture of my daughter.

Having said that I do think this is quite a cool thing (and will be for me, once I figure out how to use it). And I can see a lot of use for it on the library website, online newsletter and Face Book.

This is Sammy's Baby Picture. It was taken last August when he was about 9 weeks old. Sammy has two sisters, Fiona, who is 3 weeks older than he is, and Oreo, who will celebrate her 10th birthday around the same time Sammy and Fiona celebrate their 1st.

I will try to post pictures of Fiona and Oreo too -- just for you Robin.

Don't have much to say about this. I find it always fun. I usually am able to find what I want quite easily and then spend A LOT of time just looking at similar things that pop into by mind. Not a good use of time, but a good waste of time. I have, however, learned to ignore the comments section. People are so cruel when they have anonymity.
