technorati

Didn't think much about this.  Although, if I were really into Blogs this would be a great tool to locate them.  One thing I hated was the pictures of people with there mouths wide open showing the benefits of teeth whitening on the right hand side of screen.

Web 2.0

I think youtube type videos of staff demonstrating how to use databases, endnote, types of search strategies etc would be a great new way of providing reader education.  Students could access these from a link in the homepage and would have 24/7 viewing with the ability to review constantly.  I know they have done this type of thing with the wireless access but it could be used for so much more.

A way of getting bookmarks into one place....which I sort of have with my bookmarks in the browser any way.  You can search other peoples bookmarks...I did find an interesting link to an article someone had written about the 1974 Fifa World Cup Final.  It was a re-evaluation of sorts.

Thoughts about technologies

Everything is so much easier nowdays.  I use a video editing tool on my computer called Womble that allows the user to edit, add titles/credits, scene transitions, narration, sound effects, music to create your own movies recorded from a digital video camera.  I have also used it on DVD movies.  I have created my own edits of things like "The Phantom Menace", "The five Doctors".  I even like adding additional scenes cut from the original versions but are presented on the DVD... I did this for "Galaxy Quest".  Last year I edited a movie shot by staff at Newcastle TAFE called "A librarians Christmas".  I had to edit scenes together, add transitions, add narration, a music track, opening titles imported from a bmp file, overlay dialog, increase the speed of certain scenes when the elves appear.  It's great fun.

Melbourne Cup Day

I have no idea who will win this year!  Whenever I don't bet the horse wins.  So I am taking no interest this year.
