WEEK 5 THING 12

I can see where Rollyo combines similar web sites by topic so you don't need to keep searching one by one for each web site.
For my Rollyo custom search I would like to have these sites included:
epicurious.com
foodnetwork.com
recipesource.com
allrecipes.com
With help, I was able to transfer my information from Rollyo onto my blog.

WEEK 5 THING 11

My all time favorite job in the library is to recommend books to the customers.
LibraryThing is so helpful with readalike titles and also tags similar reading material.
I started to catalog my favorite books with two titles --these books have magnetic characters who find themselves in difficult situations. I call them real page turners!

WEEK 5 THING 10

My creation
Originally uploaded by brownr83

So far this was the most amazing exercise for me. I did an online image generator by going to bighugelabs.com and then chose mosaic maker. As everyone can see, I want to be reminded of Lombard St., Painted Ladies, the Wharf, and of course, San Francisco Bay area. Seeing these pictures brings me back to memories of the "real" thing.

I've been tagged!!!

Shhh tagged me. Rules of the game are posted before facts are listed. At the end of the exercise, I will tag 8 new people and post their names. Then I will go to their blogs and leave a comment letting them know they have been tagged. I will ask them to read my blog.

Eight little known facts about me:
1. I am an only child.
2. When I was in grade school I wanted to be a ballerina and broke my middle toe while practicing.
3. I like to listen to country music.
4. I love pizza so much, I could eat it every day.
5. My favorite color is turquoise.
6. My favorite fiction reads are psychological thrillers.
7. My favorite non-fiction reads are memoirs.
8. I love going to flea markets.

I am tagging Sports and Technology Fan, ScrappinErin, Jim's Maryland 23 Things Blog – Neato!, memoir of an amnesiac, Library LunaSea, Library Lunacy, Wonder Twin Power, Thing From the Blog.

WEEK 4, THING 9

When I went to Merlin I saw that I could do an Avatar, and it was loads of fun to create.

WEEK 4 THING 7 and 8

I'm still fascinated by my husband's IPod. He can download so many different songs from so many CD's that he has hours and hours of listening pleasure. The amount of memory this little contraption has is amazing.



The RSS, "Really Simple Syndication", was cool.
I subscribed to the websites with subjects I enjoy reading about.
This way I save time and additional searching.
My choices were: Shifted librarians, About literature, Awn's headline news, Bloglines news, NYT book report, USA today.com books, Washington Post book reviews, Library bites, and Unshelved.
I'm looking forward to visiting these sources and be free of advertising.

WEEK 3 THING 6

A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience


View Trivop
The self-proclaimed first videoguide for hotels doesn’t disappoint. Locate hotels on this Google Maps + Hotel mashup and view user-created videos of the hotels. This gives a much better view of a prospective hotel before visiting.
Currently looks like they only have hotels in England and France, but with their recruiting efforts one can only assume Trivop will becoming to a region near you.
WEEK 3 THING 7
This mashup fits the bill when we want to see how the hotel looks before we arrive at our destination. If we go to England next summer, this will be a great tool for us.
