Cruising through MySpace

I have avoided social networking for a long time mostly because of time. There is so much time interfacing with a computer all day it's the last thing I want to do at home. From a time perspective I would rather spend my free time with tangible friends. Looking around MySpace, I discovered some cool sites for library employees to stay connected within their own systems, Salt Lake City and Palm Springs come to mind. Much like a blog it would be a great way to stay connected and disseminate information throughout the system. Finding time to devote this type of undertaking would be the hardest part.

Library Thing

This looks like a fun tool to catalog your personal library. I found it fascinating to see the number of folks who shared the same titles. It will become more valuable as you add titles and encounter others with the same likes in literature. I like the ability to edit book information, add tags and be part of forums. This could be used in the library as a 2.0 Reader's Advisory tool.

Here are just a few pics from Parada del Sol!

Kosmo

I decided to write about Kosmo because he turned three today. This entry has nothing to do with technology, only that I can use it to post pictures of my dog.
Its fitting he's here because his special love of eating books has resulted in large contibutions to our library system!

Successful life long learning

I feel fortunate because most of the habits come pretty easy for me. My favorite is #3 - I love a challenge. There are truly no problems, just challenges to deal with and solve.
The hardest for me is 7.5. I'm always telling myself I'm too busy to play but know that great learning comes through it! We begin our lives processing our world through play and by the time we are adults many of us lose the ability.
