farewell, 2.0

salam!

needless to say, learn and play was really valuable to me and i feel that i learned a lot from participating in this program. it introduced me to some things that i would have otherwise never really messed with. one of my favorite "things" was checking out the web 2.0 awards. that site gave me the best and most popular 2.0 sites in the web in one place so that i can look through 'em. i can see what other people are liking and using to make their life more interesting (technology-wise).

i also loved the commoncraft videos. i think they were the single most important thing that introduced the technologies to people. they clearly explained the use of each technology in a way that anyone could understand and they did it with nice visuals.

i'm really surprised at how the l&p team were so active and attached to this. it's nice and amusing how they went around to different staff, interviewed them and made cute little videos. another thing i'm surprised at is that there was no facebook exploration(forget myspace, i don't like it :D) listed as one of the 23 things...maybe next time.

if there was another program like this, i would definitely join. no doubt about that.

it's been nice....

if you're an audiobook lover, this mid-ohio library digital initiative may be your cup of tea. you can find many, not all, types of books here to download into your mp player. i especially like the fact that you can download books to teach you foreign languages! this would be a great way to learn another language without taking any classes or having to sit down and read a book. you can listen and immerse yourself in another language while you're doing cleaning, exercising, whatever!

it's pretty neat although i don't like the fact that it doesn't work with ipods.
