Blog about RSS

It's an interesting technology, quite time saving, although I found going into Bloglines a bit tedious. I guess Firefox or the new versions of Internet Explorer and Windows that will have the RSS symbol built in will be a more streamlined way of using this technology. You have to be careful what you subscribe to because you could get too many articles. That's what happened to me when I subscribed to Time magazine's Top Stories feed. By subscribing to relevant feeds, librarians could keep up to date with what's going on in their field.

Post about image generating

This was really fun! I enjoyed it so much I wanted to display all of my results. It wasn't difficult to do, in fact it was quite easy. Blogger is very easy to use. There is a lot of stuff out there that you can use, the choice can be quite bewildering.

Another picture that was so cute I had to include it!

#7 Blog about technology

I find learning new technology difficult and scary.For example, I bought an iPod in December 2006 and still don't know how to use it.

I guess part of the 'problem' is finding or making the time to actually learn how to do it. Also finding someone who knows but who also needs to make the time to teach you! However once I've learnt how to do something I use it and enjoy it.

The great thing about the Learning 2.0 program is that we have been given time to muck around and explore, and somehow we end up learning something along the way.

I've somehow created a cartoon using txt2pic but not sure exactly how I did it! As you can see from the cartoon, all this new technology is making me grumpy!
