thing 23

i'm pretty sure i'm all numbered up correctly now...

i don't know if i learned anything during the web challenge process ... i already knew i'm not very "2.0"-ish and that i don't want to spend any more time in front of a computer than i have to. i can't wait to get back to work! the popular applications of tagging, blogs, wiki's, the collaborative websites, the user-driven focus that is sometimes clearly lacking any design, style, leadership,or management, etc., - ick - i'm just very dubious and reluctant to rejoice in those things.

i'm very glad administration has supported the web 2.0 committee work and its efforts, that there are staff who (after a few moans and groans) blossomed, really enjoying doing the *things* and became master bloggers and really excited about what they were learning. i'm glad we've had this opportunity to mentor each other and maybe become a better team for it. and... i'm glad not everyone thinks the way i do and that we had a chance to express ourselves.

my one shining moment of the webchallenge: searching for brodeur's goal on youtube.

thing 22 - loser ... by spinelli

i've had a lot of customers tell me how much they love listenNJ... but i didn't enjoy the trouble of downloading the console and worrying about the media player. i usually like audio books, but i would rather just browse from what's on the shelf or on the catalog than spend this time on the computer. besides - that system still isn't compatible with my laptop or ipod.... why would someone create an application or software that wouldn't be compatible with an apple product?

thing 21

i have absolutely no interest in podcasting or listening to podcasts... i went to podcast.com and odeo - odeo was super slow loading - i couldn't find anything i'm interested in, because i'm not interested in listening to any thing - if that makes sense :0

okay okay... i did find something related to bright eyes on odeo - but it kept having an error loading, so i couldn't even listen to it - at all.



give a whirl & let me know if it works for you.

there was a podcast from npr and that did work - - but i couldn't listen to it because it was too long and i lost interest.

Martin Brodeur scores a goal NHL New Jersey Devils goalie as thing 20

i didn't even know i had a youtube account, but somehow i do? maybe i did that back around december for the staff breakfast? who knows! i'm not a fan of youtube (quelle surprise!) but this clip is a beautiful thing. when the NJdevils lost to the rangers in the play offs a couple weeks ago - it was a bummer, for sure. finding this video is wicked awesome though!
