Podcasts

I Y podcasts. I get to listen to all my favorite radio segments that I miss while I'm at work such as The Science Show and Ask Dr Karl. Also I think podcasting has made the world smaller with anyone around the world with an Internet connection can share the same podcast, exchanging ideas, information and opinions. Many podcast sites also link podcasts that have similar topics which is really handy and a great way to find new podcasts.

Hmm this post is a bit boring. I'll try to do better next time.

Ooo just tried the spell check and it doesn't like 'podcasts' or 'podcasting' as words, podcast is ok though!

Flickr 2

Learnt something new today. Not only have I now had some experience with Delicious and Flickr, I found some really funny photos posted to Flickr. A mother had taken lots of photos of the packed lunches she made for her son. Turns out she likes to practice Bento which is a Japanese art of packed lunches check out one of her photos here http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendycopley/2988844217/in/photostream/

Hopefully a not so boring post

Flickr

Oh boy, I am really not well this week. I've been sick since Monday and my brain is not functioning properly. I did the Delicious part of the Jones course earlier this week but did not read the destruction's properly for the Flickr part. Anyway finally realised I don't have to upload a picture of my own derrrr. Did find this really cool one taken on my birthday last year of the planet Jupiter http://www.flickr.com/photos/25457453@N08/2635396313/ so check it out. Definitely having fun with the Jones!

Boring post 3

Delicious

Well I've have a look at this weeks tasks and they look like fun. I'll have to wait until I get home to try Flickr and to add more bookmarks to Delicious. Delicious seemed confusing to start with but the instructions were clear and with a bit more playing I think I should have a good handle on it. I have yet to work out if you can add the same tags to multiple bookmarks at the same time. I can see Delicious being very useful, I don't know how many times I have wished I could access my bookmarks away from my home conputer and now I can! I think Delicious will also be really useful to researchers and Librarians not only because it has gathered a lot of information in the same place but it also allows the same to see what the general population are using as search/identification terms.

Well that wraps up boring post number 2.

Easy start

Well that was easier than I thought it would be. I've never been one for writing my thoughts down, didn't really keep a diary, even travel diaries stop about half way through the trip. so I hadn't thought a lot about blogs (apart from reading the odd one or two) but this was a very easy process and I'm glad the Jones pushed me into trying it. My only worry now is my blog is going to be soooo boring.
