Number 18 Again

item 18, spreadsheets could be used to maintain what a person has read or even what a person wishes to read. Or we could use them to maintain genre lists, etc.

Item 18

Re opened google spreadsheet. It opened differently than the first time I tried to open it. i set up a small spreadsheet to log my locomotives with. This list in not a full list as I do not have the complete list with me. But, I can go back and add or subtract as needed now.

Item 24, 6:00 P.M, 28 Dec 07

Finally reached the end. Best discovery: Library Thing. Has this program assisted or affected my lifelong learning goals. Yes- but there were some items I will not try again, unless I have some guidance. Tools that I will continue to use. Library Thing, tagging and Del.icio.us and perhaps myspace. What could be done to improve this program. Have some additional classes on each subject. Maybe one or two a month, especially for us none Techno Types. Would I participate in further programs. Yes I would.

I would like to thank Mel, Chad and Stephanie for aiding me throughout this program.

Item 20

Returned to item 20. I missed it prior. I found pandora, which I tried and the computer froze on me so I tried another. I found Listdump.com.
This is a site with lists of various items. right away, I found a site that I liked. "The Most Beautiful Mountain Ranges in the United States. I stated before that I like mountains and this was great. This site would be very useful for students and others who need a list of items for various projects.

Podcasts

I went into three sites: podcast.net and podcastalley.com were not easily used. I did go to podfeed.net and listened to Danny and the Junior on Octane 365. Added blogline from Octane 365. Not very happy with any of them.

My Library DV

I had already used this program at home several months ago. I watched an old silent film for kicks. I had also watched two travel films, one about Germany and one about Switzerland. Both were very informative. I did note that there are movies about home improvement, which I do on a regular basis, and they may furnish me the information I need.

R.E.A.D.S

Signed in to READS. Added the Sea Wolf to my cart. Could not download at work. Will download at home. Searched for several titles but was unsucessful as these were some older books. I actually prefer an actual book over READS. This feature could be very helpful for someone who is an invalid or just cannot get to the library. This could be used by someone who prefers audios over books.
