Evaluation

Again, I enjoyed the "things on a stick." I found out about some new things, and got to play around with things I hadn't used much. This is a nice incentive to experiment with various applications to see how well they fit in with what I need.

I was resistant to Twitter in the first round, but I decided to play around with it this time, thinking that I'd probably drop it after a few weeks. Ha - I should have known better. Twitter is a lot of fun - even when self appointed "Library Theorists" (aka DLK) don't approve of what you say. Of course, if he worked in a real library, he'd perhaps find a semblance of a clue. I had never really heard of this guy before the reading for thing 34, and have seen nothing from him that's worth the time it takes to read it. Self promoting, ignorant blowhard. Other than this, I'm really enjoying Twitter.

That being said, the rest of the things were fun. It's great to have an excuse to do scrapbooking at work, and to see Lutefisk working on one too. (He is an artsy guy, after all.) I've decided I prefer last.fm to Pandora, since I've discovered new artists there. And, of course, I'm always up for LOL cats.


Even if I don't use all the "things" on a daily basis, I like knowing they're out there; you never know when something will come in handy.
