TAGGING!

Fa lalalala...lalalala! Now my Christmas shopping will be so easy - wow, do I ever love tagging. We use it at port orchard on the reference desk all the time - but I never really realized how much I loved tagging for my personal use. Since I have a new pc, (our old one crashed & I lost all my beloved favorites) I'm now going to tag everything so i'll never be in this predicament again! Of course, i have to find time - but this is one thing that's so quick & easy, even i can find time to tag while I get my holiday shopping done. Hmmm, does this justify shopping at work?

43 Things really made me realize how little I know about the current web environment. I surf the net every day, use email, shop online, download music, and of course use it daily for my job at KRL, but other than delicious, I'm really using very few of the applications we'll be exploring inKRl2.0. As for 43 Things, I generally don't ever use lists like this, but I'm definitely going to check out some of the applications mentioned. I had a friend visit this weekend and he started to teach my 9-year old how to write code - in a few minutes my son had a website up and was madly listing all his pokemon cards. While I'm a huge proponent of children staying connected with the physical world, and not really getting involved with online communities, etc; I have to admit, it was pretty cool to watch his enthusiasm for his new website!
