Greetings one and all,
This may seem a little backwards, but since this very blog is a product of week two, I really should introduce you to, even briefly, week one.
Web 2.0... The machine is Us/ing us ~ fascinating little video illustration communications evolution and the online information revolution.
Life long learning ~ Hear, hear! Oh yes, my pretties, learning never ends. I still believe 71/2 Should have been 'have fun!' but the list is true enough.
Stephen Fry discuss 2.0 ~ Who doesn't love this man. Tagged 'National Treasure', Mr Fry calmly grabs you by the hand for a short stroll through the 2.0 park, not only stopping to explain exactly what it is but also opening discussion of the future of traditional media as we know it.
The emphasis of the weeks tasks was to keep your mind open, be flexible and above all, have FUN!
That's the kind of thing I can get right into, this fun business. One that note, I'll set my own adventure task for the weekend. I demand that everyone reading this go out and do something fun, even if it's only for a few minutes.

First go on the brand new wheel...
Greetings all.
Well, this does feel weird. Official blogging, not just concert reviews, talking about the pretty in its many shapes and forms, the occasional whinge... but no, this is Blogging with a purpose. Not personal, but Business with a great big capital 'B'. Awkwardness aside, lets get the official business out of the way, at least temporally.
* What do you hope to learn from the program?
Two things. Firstly, any of the finer, minute points that I may have missed in my self-taught blogging adventures. This particular site is all new and shiny. Secondly, how I can utilise a blog for a library setting successfully.
* What do you think about Lifelong Learning?
It's underrated. Learning never really does end, especially outside the education system.
* What other blogs have you discovered? What do you like about them?
Personally, I can't stand myspace, but have one for the the possibility of free gigs and movie previews. I do like the fact that I can hunt down all kinds of information and people at any time and can tailor my blog for my own personal taste and quirks. All the blogs i've discovered aren't really applicable for a library environment.
* Can you see a use for blogs inside the Library? How about blogging for a client audience?
Yes, yes, vindictive (oh my brain, why?! You don't even like Operator Please.) I believe it can be done, it all depends on the audience and getting thier imput.
As a treat for all of you who made it through this far, I've decided to add a little Youtube link. I may have to do this for each post. This one is a little reminder before we depart on our grand adventures. Thanks to Dr Sparkles for mentioning it.
