Library Thing

I thought this site was cool because I can see what kinds of books people have read and what interests them. I sort of thought of this site as a way to find out what they like to read and if I found a similar book, that I could send one their way. This also helps in finding out what other good textbooks are in people's library so that I may want to look some up for refrence. Click on the link to see what I have added so far :

Hope you find something interesting!

Image Generators

I had some fun with the image generators. Below is a link to a calendar I started to make. I don't know if I'll print it out just yet, but I do plan on making something of it. I played with some pictures of family and bullfights, and it was cool. It's WAY better than loading your picture to my paint program and writing stuff.

Podcasting

I never realized how cool podcasting was. I did a search for sports on Podcast.com and results for ESPN and Sporting News was there. So I was stoked. I was watching some stuff on the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland A's, so I was on the site for quite a while. I can really see how great this site is because we are able to look up almost anything and was able to find something on it.

I really liked this assignment because it was very similar to youtube. I feel like I could use this site often.

Technorati

Maybe it's just me again, but I'm getting confused by this site. It just seems like it's a search engine for blogs. It was impossible for me to find my blog because it kept saying my username didn't match so I just gave up trying to claim my blogger blog. ANYWAYS, Technorati seems that it could be useful, but I don't see myself using it much. The video was quite helpful in explaining its uses too.

Del.icio.us

I can see how useful this site can be and how it can make searching for resources easier. I still don't really understand it though. I am not the most technologically sound indiviudal, so maybe this is why I feel like I am having trouble with this site. Anyways, I can see how it can be useful because it allows others to see what you research or have looked up based on certain keywords. I still think Google is sufficient for me, however.

You Tube!! and my bullfight

This is a video of a bullfight in Thornton in October of 2006. This is pretty much what I do during the bullfight. I am the third guy in line, and end up in the middle of the shot just before we let the bull go.

I realized a while ago there are quite a few videos of us doing our thing, which is kind of cool. I find myself going onto Youtube quite often and just look up weird stuff, usually when someone tells me to find something. So this assignment was just another excuse to get on to it.

Enjoy the video!!

Google Docs

I wrote a quick introduction on the google docs page. Here is the link : http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dc4ddvtf_1gttcnkcn&hl=en. I like how this works, I can see how useful it is. Rather than attatching documents and having the change of the file being corrupted, the document can just be posted and viewed by anyone. Although I seem the think that using email is better, I really think I could be using this a little more often when the time comes.
