#4 LibraryThing

I have added a list of 5 books on criminology which the library has recently purchased. I am hoping that this might be a way of getting feedback on books that the library could purchase.

#3 Image generator

This task wasa bit tricky as there were no instructions on what to do - I think it was assumed that people who use image generators are internet savvy. I generated this image using Image Chef: http://www.imagechef.com/ - it is not a very exciting image but expresses my feelings for having completed the task.

# 2 Flickr

This would have been a great website to have access to when travelling through Europe in 1972 for 9 months. At that time we used slide film and then sent them back to Australia for processing and forwarding to an Australian address. We never got to see our photos for about a year. If doing the trip today, we could have just uploaded our photos to Flickr and not worried about losing them.

I was cruising around Flickr, wondering what sort of photos to search for, and decided I would look for photos of Fairhaven in Victoria where we spend our summer holidays. I came across a whole heap of photos that were taken by our neighbour's children and have included one which is in memory of their grandfather and which is the path we take to the beach.

Here is a link to other photos of Fairhaven from Flickr:

#1 posting a blog

Although I am familiar with reading blogs I have not created one myself until now. My biggest problem is knowing what to call it, so I have been very unimaginative with the name of my blog.

I have had problems viewing some of the video clips as our network is very slow. I also thought that the slide show "Finding time to learn about emerging technologies" was a good example of how not to create a slide show - too many images/graphics, lack of content and as a result it too long to load each slide. Does anyone agree?
