I'll admit it, I didn't know what an RSS feed was. Now I know.
I'm not sure how useful it is to me at this very moment because I don't have certain sites I check regularly, but I can see how it can be a useful tool.
I've made a bit of a mess of my Google Reader, there's way too much on there now, I need to go back and cut things out.
I'm sorry, I don't have any favorite blogs.

Play Week - Good Reads
Instead of going into another site that catalogs my books, I figured I could link my goodreads to my blog. My book club uses this to get a sense of what we each like to read and see what people have already read. I've read more than Twilight I swear, I just need update it.

Thing #7 I want an iPhone
Decisions seem to be the only thing holding me up getting anything done with this blog. I finally decided that what I really wanted to know about was an iPhone.
Right now, I’m watching a 30 minute video online about it.
I think what intrigues me the most is that I hear when you’re listening to a song on the radio in the car, your iPhone can get the info on the song, save it, and when you go home, you can get the song from iTunes. Given my inability to remember any band or song name, I would love this. So, yes, I need to spend a few hundred dollars so I can hear a song whenever I want to hear it.
My biggest fear in getting an iPhone is that I am clumsy and I would hate to spend that much money on something I will probably drop two to three times a day.
The other intriguing thing about iPhones is that you can turn it into a light saber.
I worry about the tapping, given my impatience. The one time I’ve played around with one I found myself very frustrated with the tapping not being picked up or me accidentally tapping the wrong thing.
So, watching the video, it looks easy enough to change between phone calls, something I have yet to master on my simple little LG phone.
Love the voice mail feature. You can see who has left you messages and listen to them in any order. Nice.
The iPhone guy likes Jack Johnson.
I’m not sure I get the big draw on album cover art. But it’s a feature.
I can’t imagine watching an entire movie on this thing.
OK, now we’re onto the Wi-Fi music part. It could be dangerous for me if every time I had a whim to buy a song I could do it that easily. Perhaps having to remember the name and physically be at my computer is a better option.
The photo feature is nice. I wonder though if this would make me even more less likely to print out pictures.
On to the Internet section: I don’t know how well I would do with flicking and tapping.
I’m waiting to learn how you can use facebook on it.
So, there’s a part on iPhone’s spell check. He’s writing "delicious pizza" and thinks he’s more likely to misspell pizza, not delicious.
I need the calendar feature.
The GPS feature is pretty neat. We have a navigation system in the car, but if you are driving it won’t let you use it. Obviously, the driver shouldn’t be using it, but the passenger can’t either. So unless you want to pull over on a highway, it’s pretty useless if you’re lost or just trying to find a place that has food.
You can find a restaurant on the map feature and get directions there from where you are. AND it gives you a sense of traffic. I know, I know, that's in the commercial, but still, it's pretty neat.
School bus is here; please excuse me for a moment.
The App Store: Do I really need to be playing games on my cell phone? Unless of course I can get into my kids’ webkinz accounts. Now that would be nifty.
I think I would get carried away in the App Store.
OK, I need to go make my list of reasons why I need an iPhone.

Here's a picture of the InTeLeR Desk on the second floor of the Phillips Memorial Library. I originally took this picture to use as part of the screen saver slide show that appear on these computers and the computers at the Information Station on the first floor.

Thing #5 Explore Flickr
I finally decided on a picture. It took a little bit of going back and fourth, but once I was signed into both flickr and google, it was easy enough to link a picture to my blog.
Having just flicked the lights to indicate closing, but not area B, I realize I'm running out of time this evening to figure out masher. But I'll see what I can do.

Final score 81-73! We Win!

After spending days looking through flickr and being indecisive about what type of picture to post, I finally decided on this one. Big night for Friar Basketball fans back in February. It's happened just one other time, back in 1976 against Michigan.
And I missed both games.
