tattoos for librarians!

this isn't directly relevant to library 2.0 but pretty kewl nonetheless!:

LIBRARIAN TEMPORARY TATTOOS
If a librarian were to get a tattoo, it would look like one of these amazing Illustrated Librarian Temporary Tattoos for book lovers. You don't have to be a librarian to wear a "Read or Die" tattoo, but it does make it even cooler!

{especially as it was such a topic of conversation at our staff meeting today!}

ridi.culo.us not deli.cio.us!

Wow, they call it deli.cio.us but I think I'm losing my appetite...!
So, I'm supposed to care what everyone else is tagging out there? It's supposed to help me find what I'm looking for to see a million other random folks' ideas of what is good info., etc.?
Well, maybe, I suppose -- but it seems like only in a desperate situation, when the simpler strategies DON'T work...
impressive to see all the languages tagging out there anyway....

the further we get into this, the more I'm inclined to retreat to pen and paper...!
(yikes!)

Old new meets the new old

Gosh, Dear Diary, what dare I gush about this time....?!
(I think I made a new friend.....named Tom....! ha)

This is all way too pre-pubescent for me: and I know my approach is all wrong especially when I nearly always print out all the instructions and plod along and, shucks, I think one has to make a choice between living and simulating living by spending all one's waking hours with this stuff (and this is before we even get into 2nd life!)
Strangely though, I 'jumped the gun' and went to "Library thing" and registered and immediately it told me I have 2 books already: my own "Best of Local Angle" and the great modern parody/sequel to "Animal Farm" called "Snowball's chance" (which i don't even own but bought off amazon or somewhere and gave to one of Ana's teachers). Wow, we're really taking off with this diary now: stop me before I get out of control...................!

Useful?

I finally got to the tasks of #7 (subscribing to all the proscribed RSS feeds) and find it all less than ideal: this bloglines site just ends up being ANOTHER thing to remember passwords for and then one has to log in and scroll through more endless dross, whew...

The further I get into all this the less I want to keep up with it all and instead want to figure out a way to survive, nay, thrive, with fewer of all these 'distractions.'

ah well, we shall overcome!

A good video summary of this whole "schtick"

A fine You tube video that seem to summarize this whole library 2.0 thing really well!:

Whew, finally set up a flickr (better watch how u spell that!) account and posted some photos; bet it's tricky to post that same photo here from there, eh?
