My Friend Flicka er Flickr

Although I use Picasa, I'm glad 2.0 urged me to check flickr out - there are alot of talented joes out there -hours spent in mind numbing admiration can be wasted here. I especially like the minibooks, one of my sisters is getting married this summer & I'm already taking photos of wedding related things - I think I'll collect them in a mini-book as a shower present - these would also be so fun for birthdays - jeez, I have to stop using 2.0 to feed my shopping addiction! I also looked at photos of several fun things - Goldendoodles - which are the cutest dogs ever and totally hypoallergenic, someday we'll add one to our family; the now long gone Missoula peace sign, and, just for kicks, Beckham.

Podcasts

Two of my favorite podcasts are podrunner which is about an hour of techno music at a steady running pace - kinda boring, but great to zone out to while running & This American Life - although sadly, I don't have much time to listen to it - my husband gets a lot of use out of this one for his looooong commute, and he fills me in on the best.

RSS Feeds

Although I'm behind, I have to say I do enjoy my RSS feeds! When I first heard about these, I thought - what a way to get more information than you need - and I didn't jump on the RSS bandwagon. It took 2.0 to get me to do this, and I still think it's possible to overdo subscribing to feeds - I like to be in control of when I get my information - and as anybody with an overloaded email inbox knows, information can pile up very quickly. However, I enjoy being able to see when some of my favorite KRL bloggers add to their blogs & I love my NPR!
