Thank you Nancy and Cari for the hard work you did to bring Webolution to MCPLD. I looked forward to the challenges that the tasks presented and, the learning experiences I was able to achieved.

Task #22
Internet addiction
Tastespotting is a mouth watering site. Anytime I can peruse recipes with pictures I get fired up to cook or bake or, try to be creative with food stuff. This site gives some pretty yummy ideas.
Lifehacker was interesting I suppose.
Any how, I'm not one to blog but, for the learning experience it was a trip.

Task #21
Piknik
What an fun site this was! It was cool taking the 'string' and rotating the pic. It was all fun - enhancing color, temp, zooming. I will be back to this site again.
Task #20
Government Web Sites:
Curiosity has led me to the assessor's sight before. I find it interesting to plug in an address and scope it out. I explored the county assessor's site from my hometown in Kansas and was able to see some of my old stomping grounds.
From the State of Colorado web site I checked out 'moving to Colorado'. How helpful for newcomers. And, the 'my neighborhood' would be helpful when moving to an area to know where schools, hospitals, fire departments etc., and libraries are located from the address you're interested in.
From this task I also checked out the Census Bureau 2010. This site is informative as well.

Task #18
Tiny URL/Zamar
With the first hint of winter and its beauty I'm ready for a road trip to the canyons of Utah! So, I googled Utah day trips and this long URL popped up
http://www.allgetaways.com/top_getaways.asp?areaid=100559
then I clicked on tinyurl. The long url went from 50+ to 26.

How cool is this!?
Zamar is a very helpful tool for our library patrons. Steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and your done.

Task #17
Library Professional Sites:
Scoping out Library Professional Sites was informative. I explored the Resource Shelf newsletter. According to what I read under 'World's Most Powerful People' our very own US Prez. tops the list.
I also read the scoop about the concerns of Pennsylvania libraries and the cuts that will effect ILL's and some of their databases.
Webjunction will be helpful to library staff that want to share knowledge & training among other libraries.
Of course, curiosity let me search the library job posting site. If ever need be...
