I really enjoyed most of these challenges. Some of them really challenged me, but I guess that was the point, afterall. I really was frustrated though on a couple of them. Wanted to drop-kick my computer (but I didn't... I know Piya and the gang would not have appreciated it. Piya and the Gang. I like that. I should write a book...).

I loved playing with Youtube and Facebook. I really enjoyed finding pictures and posting them. I really enjoyed doing my little HHM thing. That was loads of fun. Basically what I wrote in my last post... that goes for this one as well. It was nice interacting with everyone and collaborating. It was nice having a cult following. Ha. Ha. I think that I will continue with the blog and I hope that many of you will as well. I really enjoyed reading your posts. It was cool learning about others (not only those at Alvin Sherman, but Law, BCL, HPD, etc.). I was able to leave my little 3rd floor office for a bit, via cyberspace.

I've learned to be more patient with myself. I learned that technology can be my friend (tell that to my crashed computer... but that's another story). I learned loads. I learned things, in fact, that I would have NEVER even bothered to look at, let alone learn how to do. It was an interesting experience.

Like I said before, those involved with this project did a really good job. Kudos to you all. Maybe even some whatchamacallits as well (good luck finding them).

Soooo... would I do this again? You bet your sweet... yes. Yes, I would. It was fun! Which is what I love. Please read all posts again from the beginning, if you don't believe me. Besides... would I lie to you? C'mon. You know me better than that by now. Hang your head in shame.

FINALLY... Facebook!!!!

I have been waiting to do this post since trying to catch up. I made a Facebook profile with my DD psycho persona. I even made an email account for it so that I could remain anonymous. However, since I wanted to be included in the Nova loop, I ended up having to add my Nova email address. My cover was thus blown.

Soooooo... the mask is off!!! (Well, it's been off for a few posts. Remember the Myspace thing?). For those who didn't know, it's MEEEEEEEEEEEE. Tanya, that is. From Document Delivery (hence the DD thing... it was supposed to be a whole Departmental thing, but my stinkin' coworkers left me blowing in the wind by my lonesone... well... I did have you fine folk for company). I'm not psycho, (some might disagree to that statement...) but I am a psych major (O.K... maybe a little psycho... a little more neurotic and less psychotic). And, I'm a lady. Well, sort of.

Thanks for reading my blog. Thanks for all the comments and for the cool interaction. I wish I had been able to post some more (especially on my whole Hispanic Heritage Month obsession).

Anyhow. What was I talking (writing) about? Oh, yeah. Facebook. I love it. I do. Almost as much as Youtube. You can add cool applications. Play fun games. Have all sorts of joy in front of a keyboard and screen. Yay!

So, thanks for reading. It's been real. If you find my "real" profile on Facebook, I might even add you!

The Pod People Beckon

Alright. So this one I was not too keen on. I had a little bit of trouble adding a podcast to my blogline (well, first I forgot my blogline password and had to have it emailed to me). Maybe my mind is turning to goo and that is also affecting my ablities. Somehow I managed to add an NPR podcast to my Bloglines account, which can be seen on my profile here in this blog. It's under My Web Page (or something). I'll check and confirm in a bit. (Confirmation: Yeah, it is).

Wikipedia (of course) gave a good definition of what a podcast was too. Told ya that I loved me some Wiki Wiki.

Anyhow, I'm not really that good at downloading these things. I should have asked my no-longer-so-little-he's-now-taller-than-me brother. He's a wiz with that sort of thing. I should have him do this podcast thing for me. The results may have varied.

P.S. iTunes also has a good selection of audio media, but I don't have it downloaded on this computer.

Winners... win.

I just realized that in my haste, I nearly forgot to blog about challenge 19. Out of the short list, I definitely love Youtube (as you saw in the post below). Facebook is one of my new found loves. I used to favor Myspace, but then I found about all the applications on Facebook, and I was hooked. I am sure that I have serious addiction issues. But, this is neither the time, nor the place. I liked all the ones we used in these challenges, too. I am sure that it's no coincidence that they are many of the numero unos on the list. Good job, TLC 2.0 folk!

Facebook has many cool little games you can play on it, when you add applications. You can even have humans as pets. You can auction them, you can buy them. Searching for souls. Weird, but it's all in fun. You can find old friends and make up for some lost time on Facebook.

Some drawbacks? Well, there's always the stalker issue. You may be found by people who you don't want to be found by. That's never fun. Also, sometimes some of the applications lose their mojo, don't work properly and are down for a bit. But, I suppose it's what happens with new programs.

How might libraries benefit from Facebook? By connecting, of course. Isn't that what it's all about? Connecting with other folk? Plus, others can learn about NSU Libraries through Facebook. It's a winner on many levels.

You had me at youtube...

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE Youtube. Beyond love. I adore. So now that we have established that I worship Youtube... I already gave that Zoho thing my password for this blog, and I kinda don't want to give it to Youtube (even though I love it... I really, really do). Plus, I want to finish, finish, finish quickly because my brain is starting to fry, fry, fry in trying to get all these posts done by the end of the day. I'm marathon wo-man, here. I will do it eventually (probably) because I have loved Youtube forever and ever. Seriously. It's sad. You should see my myspace page. Well, why not. I was trying to be all anonymous and all throughout this challenge, but I guess it's almost over, so why not. Myspace, homie! Yep, me. Now you can see what a freak I really am.

What is one of my favs on Youtube? Gollum Borderline Love!!!!! There's also the non-Barry White one. But, the Barry White one was the original, so it has a special place in my heart. There are loads of things I love about Youtube. You can watch just about anything. Missed Marie Osmond fainting on DWTS? It's there. And... where else can you see Thriller in Legos and Brahms in the same place? And... remember Dexter? Across the UNIVERSE!!!! My younger brother is even on Youtube. But, I won't post that on here. I made fun of him enough when I first found out about it. So, I feel remorse now and won't do it. No, no. I can't.

El Zorro Zoho

This is very similar to Windows... Kinda cool, though. I like the and it seems like an intra interesting thing. Hmmmmm... what else to write? I dunno. I don't really have much to say write now. Plus, I have to continue on my merry little way through the TLC 2.0 challenges. On a time crunch. But, I opened an account and I played with it a little. I shall come back and continue playing later. Swim time. Later, gator.

Microsoft loses Monopoly?

Yeah... I don't know if that would (could?) happen. But, this Zoho writer is very similar to it. Plus, it's free. Plus, it's kinda cool. I saved a document on it, but not sure if you will be able to see it... let's try. It was just a mini paragraph though. I'm there though. I'm "theddpsycholady" (what else would you expect?).

Addendum: I tried pasting Zoho page in a hyperlink for this blog, but did not work. So, I published it instead. It is the blog post right above this one. It says: El Zorro Zoho.

I will play with it more later. It does look pretty interesting. Plus, it's FREE!

Just keep swimming...

Playing catch-up can be tough! If only I hadn't had to leave it to the last minute. Ugh. I just have to keep swimming, though! I'm doing the NSULibs Wiki one. I added my blog to the page. At first, I thought I messed the whole page up and had to play with it so as not to completely Fudge it up. Crisis averted, and I'm Me! on the page, BTW. Sooo... I edited a Wiki and didn't completely cause the downfall of it's existence. Go, me!

P.S. Another password for me to forget. My stickies runeth over.

Wet, Wild, and Wiki...

Wiki, Wiki, What?!?!?!? As you all know, I love me some Wikipedia. So, this exercise was muy bueno. I liked the explanation given in Wiki, Wiki, Wiki!. Plus, Wikipedia has it's own little blurb on Wiki. But, of course. I like it. I LOVE IT! I want some more of it!!! O.K. I stop it. I'm making myself nauseous (not a big country fan. Sorry to those who are... Plus, I've exceeded my "corny level").

OK. When I was reading info for this challenge, I thought, "It would be nice if someone posted the library in Wikipedia." I was going to write it in my wee bloggie. Something along the lines of: "Maybe someone should add Alvin Sherman to the Wikipedia." That would be good for the library, no? Then I thought, let me see if it's already there. And, guess what. It was! Good job, you (whoever "you" are. And, by "you," I mean the you that put Alvin Sherman there in the first place). That's cute! That which we call a library, by any other name would smell as... finely bookish? The end.
