More photo stuff

Some more photo thoughts:

I've been using Snapfish for my digital photo managment. I can upload photos there to an album, and send a message to family and friends for them to view. I really like it, because I make calendars each year for assorted family members. I've also had photos made in to mouse pads and mugs - they have lots of ideas.

Webshots would be handy too (in spite of my accidental posting of photos mentioned above!). I was able to create an album there and make a link to it on our family website, so it was easier to share than going through Snapfish - no registration required to view. And, I love the daily photos - I use those for my desktop on my home computer.

I'm looking forward to trying out the trading card idea at Flickr just for fun.

WOW! Photos!

I haven't done much with Flickr, although I did post some library photos a while back when we were still under construction (and that was over a year ago...). I'll have to go through the collection of library pix to see if there is anything fun I can post soon.

I have done things on our family website so have a look. I will admit to accidentally posting all my camera photos once on webshots, too - I haven't tagged them, because I really didn't expect anyone else to look at them!

Offline is Coming!

Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't registered yet - Offline in Missoula sounds like a great time this year (and for anyone who knew I had applied for a job outside the Library World: not to worry, I am staying where I am!)

And if you had your own Book Babes Calendar, you could write it on there to remind yourself! (Notice the nice reduced price - there is still plenty of 2008 left to get your money's worth!).

I'm enjoying reading all the blogs, but wish everyone had a profile so I could figure out who they are!

RSS Feeds

This is one technology I've not been very comfortable with - it was always just a bit confusing, and I'm not sure why. I understood the basic idea, but didn't quite get the specifics. Then along came iGoogle, where I was able to subscribe to several feeds on my personal homepage. There are so many fun things out there, this at least helps save some time (but now I'm keeping up with things I never knew I'd want, so I'm not sure about the time saving...)

Being a knitter, this is my favorite: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/

I've also recently become a great podcast fan, but I see that's a lesson for another day...

How fun to be required to create a blog! One of those things I've considered but didn't think I'd have reason to try...

The easiest habit of the 7 1/2? Definitely Play - that's why this class will be a great learning opportunity! Using Technology also seems to be an easy one for me, although I can appreciate the difficulties others have with this - it hasn't always been something I've naturally taken to.

The hardest? Seeing Problems as Challenges - many times an obstacle is just that, and reason enough to give up. This probably goes along with Having Confidence (also sometimes difficult for me): if you have confidence an obstacle can be overcome, often it isn't as overwhelming as it originally appeared.

Can't wait for the next lesson!
