Thing 15
Pirate Thing either needed an install which I couldn't do at this library or it was too slow to load. Read some Second Life stuff and find it fascinating. Did not sign up because I have enough going on with the 7 of the 9 lives I've already used. The Pew study is interesting as was the article debunking myths about video games (especially the ones about girls and games). At a recent holiday get-together, instead of all of the males and females playing games like Risk (which we've done in the past) at one point some of the college age males and females were playing Webkinz.

Very interesting. Did a Library Thing. Am a little confused about where this will show up on blog. Anyway, here is my test
Thing 13
LOVED the PDF converter. Myyahoo preferences wasn't working in Explorer, but was in Firefox for some reason. Might have been coincidence. Will spend some time on the conversion stuff for times I'm not at the library which has conversions software.
Thing 12
Oh my gosh. More ways to spend time and communicate and search. I found out that baby boomers will flood the health care system. Also that there's a "new form of scar-free surgery in which diseased organs are pulled out through the patient’s throat" which may be a good thing since we boomers are notoriously vain -- if we can get treatment and cost-effective healthcare. Seriously, this rating of news reports is a great way to check out what's happening in society.
Thing 11
Did some tagging in blogger (had done so in flickr). Couldn't install http://del.icio.us/) on work computer, but may try it at home. Enjoyed looking at minn23's favorites which somehow diverted me to Youtube text messaging a librarian . How forunate that the answer to this texted question was such a short one! I now know how to spend the rest of my life: Youtube.
Thing 10
Edited the wiki. As always figuring out the password was key. Reading too fast as I try to get through these at the last minute. Fun! Someone was using the wiki (or had left it open) so was unable to get in until the 5 minutes was up. Hope I didn't mess up someone else's editing. Exciting to me that you can add video and chat.
