I can even stay current with my favorite comic strips using a feed from a Seattle newspaper. There is so much out there, it is hard to comprehend<br />I finished the explore Google part of 2.0. I was amazed to see all the gadgets available on Google, everything from recipes to medical advice, to online music sources to puzzles and games. I added quite a few gadgets to my iGoogle page including the Irish libraries site where libraries across Ireland post photos of their libraries. <br />I set up an account on Flickr and will have to upload some photos from my digital camera when I get home. I have a photo management account at Webshots, but I think Flickr has some features that are easier to use so I will begin archiving photos there.<br />It's interesting to learn about the new technology that is available for the world to use to get organized, speak your mind and learn about new things.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3144969949887175705-2317159072143507201?l=mogaff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mighty Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09083755588060663296noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144969949887175705.post-12355295817645623442007-10-30T04:55:00.001-07:002007-10-30T04:55:51.841-07:00<div class="onion_embed headline"><h2><a target="theonion" href="<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3144969949887175705-1235529581764562344?l=mogaff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mighty Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09083755588060663296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144969949887175705.post-65685442838343366422007-10-30T04:28:00.000-07:002007-10-30T04:36:16.470-07:00This morning I continued on with lessons in Learning 2.0. I already have an account with bloglines so I updated my feeds with two library feeds, Library Link of the Day and Librarian Journal News.<br />I read my feeds through bloglines and like the features of searching by post or by feed. Each feed has a preview page so you can shop around and visit many of the topics feeds and find the one you like best. Bloglines has a subscribe feature so you don't have to copy and paste URLs to subscribe.<br />Some of the unusual feeds I have found include Luxist feed where you get a view of how the upper 10 percent lives. This feed has virtual real estate tours of huge mansions, lake properties etc, as well as the latest "must-haves" of the rich and famous--everything from wrinkle remover cream that costs $432 per jar to purses that sell for $2600 (that are ugly as sin!) <br />Another feed I like is a New Urban Legend site that posts the newest urban legends and tells you whether they are true or not.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3144969949887175705-6568544283834336642?l=mogaff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mighty Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09083755588060663296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144969949887175705.post-34845547408011004332007-10-30T03:11:00.000-07:002007-10-30T03:16:58.904-07:00On October 30th in:<br />1739 The War of Jenkin's Ear begins when England declares war on Spain<br /><br />1888 The ball point pen is patented by John J.
