thing 23 - summarize your thoughts

I learned sooo much, and am really grateful this program was brought to BCPL. My personal favorite was the Avatar! I will get the most professional use out of the Wiki; I hope to use that soon.
However, I had to do all of my 23 things & the blog on my own time at home. We did not get the promised time off to do this, and the computers were always full with other staff persons using them for branch work.

thing 22 - project gutenberg

I have a mac, and can't download ebooks. So I checked out project gutenberg. I've used this before to offer students when we didn't have, it was 5 minutes to close, and they needed to read the book for class tomorrow. I found some great titles, and I'll definitely go back.

thing 21 - podcasts

I love the podcasts; really sweet! I've got the hookup for my favorite comedians.

thing 20 - YouTube

thing 19 - web 2.0 awards

Judy's Book (http://www.judysbook.com/) was my favorite; this brought me more than 200 pages of shopping discounts & deals near my zip code! Highly addictive!!!

thing 15 web/library 2.0

I understand that some of this is difficult to foretell. Some of this I did not agree with - like Mr. Anderson's "Just In Case" library. We have very good stats here at BCPL.
I love the idea of the library (or Dr. Schultz) serving brandy and scotch!

thing 14 technorati

This is sooo cool! I found hundreds of great blogs, and added 4 to my rss feeds already. There's a ton of blogs with great recipes.
