Thing 14

I couldn't finish this thing ... so I am all in, all done, kaput, fried, toast, etc. I give up. The same thing happened while trying to install my dvd player 4 years ago. Needless to say, I still haven't watched a dvd and the "new" player is now 4 years old. This whole process has left me wishing that technology would just go away.

Thing 13

OK finished Thing 13. I might actually use this. I read so many mysteries, and this would prevent me from starting a book I've read previously.

Thing 12

OK I finished this thing (Social Bookmarking). Now I'm only 3 behind. I always have privacy issues ... I used the "do not share" feature on the "delicious" site.

Thing 11

Finished tagging. This is something I don't think I will use.

Thing 10

Are we there yet? I found all the appropriate sites and photos on Flickr. I do not own a camera. I do not take pictures. I am not interested in this site or others like it. I will probably never have an opportunity to use this "thing".

Thing 9: YouTube.com

I loved this "Thing". Can't get my fill of funny cats. This was also easy and not time-consuming. Hip, hip, hooray.

Thing 8

Instructions say you will have access to many people's information without having an account. So that's what I elected to do. There was no tab for "Find People". There were tabs for "Browse People" or "Find Friends". Both of those tabs required a person's name ... there was no place to put an organization name like La Grange Library.

I am not interested in putting any of my own information on MySpace ... so my career with this website is over.

I did find one person who shares my name (go figure) ... she was wearing a sombero. Ole!

Thing 7

OK. Completed successfully in a very short amount of time. This is something I would probably use, especially at home.

Thanks for the catch-up week. I really needed it.

Thing 6

Just not the "thing" for me. Did not complete successfully. Was unable to add my podcast to my google reader. Just a suggestion for future exercises of this type ... I think every other week for each "thing" would be a better pace. Those of us who work part-time often have difficulty fitting a thing per week into our already short schedule.

Thing 5: Downloadable Audiobooks

This was the easiest exercise so far. I think La Grange patrons would like this option very much.
