23 Things Assignment #8 - Do You YouTube? - Another Video

This is a funny video clip from YouTube called "Gopher Broke". I remember this first time I saw this video clip and I couldn't stop laughing. I love animation, and this is by far the funniest video clip I seen using animation, it takes the cake!!!

I think TPL could use YouTube to publish the services we offer to our public, also video clips of our branches that are renovated or rebuilt newly. This would give the staff of TPL to see the branches before renovated or rebuilt, and after being renovated or rebuilt (outside and inside). I think it would have positive potential for TPL. We could provide video clips of events we have at TPL as well ---- that would be interesting.

This is my favorite video which explains what Web 2.0 is all about. I found this to be a very powerful video (especially with the music of "Deus"). An excellent video which I think everyone should watch. In fact, the first time I watched this video it gave me goose bumps.....no kidding!!!

23 Things Assignment #8 - Do You YouTube?

This video is called "Tall Tales at the Library"

Its an animated short from the 1985 Reading Rainbow episode "Paul Bunyan" and features a little girl who goes to the library reading tall tales. Stories shown are Paul Bunyan, John Henry, and Johnny Appleseed. RR is hosted by Levar Burton of Roots and Star Trek: The Next Generation fame. It still continues to run on PBS affiliates and in schools around the country encouraging kids...

23 Things Assignment #7 - Podcasting

I found this interesting, subscribing and listening to Podcasts. I'm looking forward to spending more time away from work to listen to the subcribed Podcasts. The podcasts I subscribed to can be quite long and I didn't have enough time to listen to a whole podcast.....needed to get back to work. But, having said that, I can always try to find leisure time to delve into it more. I subscribed to the following podcasts from "Podcast Alley":

"Two Blind Squirrels" - Family Fun, Funny Bits, Unsigned Artists Music, Interviews, Lighthearted, Christian but not preachy

"The Boy's Adventures" - Real bedtime stories for a 6-year-old boy

"OurFirstMarriage" - Two people. Two kids. One marriage. Podcasts (barring catastrophic events) will update on Sunday (usually late). We\'ll be discussing marriage, breastfeeding, relationships, kids, and pretty much anything two married people with drinks might discuss late on a Friday or Saturday night. Pour a tall one, put the kids to bed, and take a listen. But most of all, Listen to your Child!

23 Things Assignment #6 - Online Office Tools

I really like Google Docs has to offer. Creating documents and having others collaborate on them from any PC, and where ever you may be. It's a great concept. I like how it's very similar to Microsoft Word with its' features built right in - like Styles, etc. I think it's a tool I could use. This would be a great concept for TPL to start using, especially when dealing with external people, where you need their collaboration with documents, etc. I had fun creating a poem and asking 23things to collaborate -- can't wait to receive the collaboration!!!!
