Thing 23

I made it to Thing 23, yippee! So much new information! I have picked a few "things" and will use them on a regular basis.
This was quite a challenge. As I said at the beginning I prefer to work with an "instructor or teacher" and still do. Is it really better to get knowledge from trial and error? Or is it better to ask a question, get the correct answer and move on?
THE END
I think not.

Thing 22 Overdrive, NetLbrary, Project Gutenburg

Yet another new and interesting road to travel. Found several books that I plan to "listen" to in the near future.

Thing 21 Podcasts

Found a real interesting Gardening Radio Show and did a RSS feed to my bloglines account. In fact can't wait until I have time to listen to all the advice and recommendations.

Thing 20 YouTube - Moose Basket Ball

How would you like to have this guy on your team?

Thing 19 Web 2.0

Discovered Pandora where I can create my own radio with only the music I like to listen to.
Plan to build on this. Yes, I'm running out of time and am pressing myself to finish this.

Link to Sweet Potatoes with Apples recipe. Try it and let me know what you think.

Thing 17 SandBox wiki

Took some doing but I'm there.

Thing 16 Wikis

So much information, so little time. I went on the MERLIN Wiki Learning Link and was very impressed to see how this was a tool for "group collaboration and social networking" for different conferences. I then picked a favorite subject to search and of course found loads of information.

Thing 15 Web2.0,Library2.0

My thoughts: "The ever changing future"

Thing 14 Technorati

Good "Thing". Found several sites I plan to share with friends. A whole new world of information and opinions has been opened to me.

Thing 13 Del.icio.us

In researching Del.icio.us I "connected" with some new
and interesting websites. Tags will help to clean up my
multitude of bookmarked sites.
While exploring I went into a photography tag and
selected "What chefs do when bored" thinking I would
connect with something about cooking. Imagine my
surprise when it took me to a site full of animal pictures
and articles.

Thing 12 Rollyo

This will become a very helpful tool as time goes on and I fine tune and add websites.

Thing 11 LibraryThing

Thing 10 Image Generator


Sister Crazy Legs of the Mountains of Montana

Have to admit this Thing was a little more fun than the others.

Thing 9 Merlin & News Feeds

After setting up Merlin as one of the feeds in my bloglines I explored Topix and now have a feed for the local news where I live. This way I can save some money and trees by not buying the local newspaper.

Thing 8 RSS Feeds & Bloglines

Gosh, I always wondered what that little orange box with rss in it meant, now I know.
Set up my own blogline with my feeds. It only takes a second to log in and I have access to various articles on subjects that I am interested it.

Thing 7 Technology

We just purchased our first digital camera about 2 weeks ago. Because of "digital image stabilization" we were able to take pictures while horseback riding and they were crystal clear, absolutely no blurr. I have yet to "store" my pictures, but look forward to the different options that are available to choose from. I'm also anxious to post them to my blog.

Thing 6 Draft Horse Mosaic


My horse Chicklett is part Belgian Draft & part Quarter Horse. Whenever we come across some of these stately creatures, I tell her they are her cousins.

Thing 5

Had a little trouble with this but finally made it work. Although horses are my favorite, I have been a "Moose Collector" for many years.
