My PODCAST

It took me quite a while to get the whole microphone thing going first of all. Then I realized that I just am not fluent enough to record without a script. After writing that, the recording went a little better. Not being very techie or even handy, it took me a while to transfer this to an mp3 file. But I did it and it is sitting on my desktop. And now it is on podbeam: http://tagheister.podbean.com/

Blue 2.0 Review

Just going back over all the assignments for each Blue 2.0 section to see if anything is left to do. I noticed that I had not blogged about instant messaging but I did set up the account and try it out using AIM. It definitely has its purpose although it can be a little distracting when you are in the middle of a project! We have been testing Crafty Librarian this week so the instant messaging was a good rehearsal for that and I think we are going to try doing this from the reference desk while we are on our two hour shifts there.

I think the only thing I have not done yet is the podcast. I did go through the unit and listen to several of them. I will try to get that done next week. Not having a microphone here has been a small obstacle. But I realize there are some at Young that we can borrow.

More Social Networking

In addition to my accounts on Facebook and MySpace, I now have a linked in account. The address for this is: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/7/997/a70. I am interested in explore this more. Also am going to explore ping since I keep hearing that name, but don't know yet if I will set up an account for that. I feel a little quilty taking up all this space on these sites! Feelin piggy.

Social Networking
Feeling a little odd posting my identify on Facebook and MySpace. Even took one of those pictures of myself that my daughter is always doing. Is this making me younger? I was more familiar with MySpace than Facebook as I have been a lurker at my daughter's invitation. Setting them up seemed about the same level of difficulty to me. I liked being able to add my son in law's song on My Space. Take a couple of minutes to listen to it. He is a great songwriter and performer. My MySpace address is http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=73479770. My Facebook is http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=638313657. I need to spruce up the Facebook profile but there I at least have some friends!
