23. Summarize

Favorite Discoveries: Flickr, online image generator, online productivity, YouTube.
Lifelong goals: I always want to learn and keep up to date so I can recommend new technology to customers. But, I honestly don't see myself using most of these things.
Unexpected outcomes: I'm amazed at how much time one can spend on the computer. You could stop going out and meeting with people and live you entire life online.
Improvements: 23 things is a bit much, I could have used about 10.
Participation: Overall I thought the program was useful and gave a good overview of what's out there.
My learning experience: I'm not a techie person, but atleast I have some knowledge of new cutting edge technology.

22. eBooks

Project Gutenberg: It's great to be able to read books online. The html format works well, you can look through the table of contents and go to the page you desire. The titles are old and somewhat obscure, but I did find an old horse lameness book that has been out of print.
Overdrive: great for PC users! Lots of great titles and very easy to use. I own a Mac, so I can't download from home.

21. Podcasts

I looked at podcast.net and podcastalley.com. I think podcast is easier to use, in fact I couldn't get things to play on podcastalley, it just wanted me to upload the feed without previewing it.
You can find just about any topic, I found an interesting interview of librarians from the Sacramento State Library. I also added a furniture topic feed to my Bloglines account, which I'll never check.

20. YouTube

Danger! I try to stay away from YouTube, because I could waste my life away watching dogs do funny things.
Check this one out, a dog in a plane, 0 gravity...

Overall, the site is very easy to navigate. It would be fun to have a "library community" or add video posts to our own library site.

19. Web 2.0 Award Winners

I checked out Upcoming, a yahoo events site. It won first prize, although many top venues have not uploaded their info. Maybe it needs to catch on a bit more first. Overall I think it will be good, once more events/venues are on it.
You can search by location or event name in the U.S.

18. Online Productivity

I went to Google Docs, created an account and uploaded my time sheet which is a Word doc. It messed it up a bit, text is smaller and things aren't aligned as well. But, overall it was there and usable.
We had someone come in the other day and Sarah used this feature to convert the patrons file into something our computers could read.
