My creation

Hey all,
Today I explored some of the awesome aps and mashups that one could use with Flickr. Check out my new creation. This is a magazine cover with a picture of the Dragon Wagon on it. I made this using Big Huge Lab's (Home of flickr toys) Magazine Cover application!

I took this picture in March of 2007 and it was a lot of fun to play with it in different applications.

Me in Chapel


Me in Chapel

Hi All,
This is a picture of me T.S. Garp taken two summers ago in California! This little chapel was near a vineyard near Napa. I am trying to look mysterious!

I wanted to let you know that this is a real photo of me taken by Dale Whittaker, and I have permission for this to be posted. I uploaded it to flickr and set it up so now I can blog through flickr. I did not know about this step before. I did not know one could blog through flickr!

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Yo!

I looked at Flicker today but I did not complete my assignment. Once I went to a library training where they suggested using blogs within a department to relay messages. It seemed like a good idea.
Are we doing a United Way campaign at our library this year? I liked it in previous years but I have not heard anything about it yet.

7 ½ Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners


Habit 7 ½: Play
I think that Habit 7 ½ will be easiest for me because I like to play. I like to try things out and have fun with the things that I am learning. For example, I am writing this blog as a book character.

Habit 1: Begin with the end in mind
This habit will probaby be the hardest for me. I know that I will finish but sometimes I forget what it is that I am working for. Goal planning is not one of my strong skills. I cannot always see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am not worrying about not finishing this though. I am just speaking in general.

Welcome to my world



Hello and Welcome to my world. This is where I will record the thoughts and activities relating to the 23 things. In 2006 I took a class on Information technologies in the library where we created webpages, created and posted to blogs, did some de.lici.ous (?) things among other things. It was kind of fun.

I have never podcasted or created a wiki, but I do use wikipedia all the time. So I am looking foward to learning how to do some new things. In the youth services department we have been working to create a seperate young adult blog and a children's department blog. So far I have mostly been working on the young adult blog. Come and check it out. Here is the link for the young adult blog: http://cclyaspot.blogspot.com/
If you would ever like to contribute content for the young adult blog on young adult books or book related items please send me a comment. Good times.
Have a good day
