Emily's Mom

One of my favorite things

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:32:00 +0000

I came across this post this morning on another blog (bookshelves of doom (via The Written Nerd)) and I thought it was appropriate since (A.) I am always tired since Michael is a light sleeper (B.) I work in a library and (C.) I admit it, I love to sleep. Check it out!

The book nap.

Now I think I am going to take a good booknap.

Del.icio.us

I played with del.icio.us and I could see a use for it especially if you use several computers but right now I don't have a lot of use for it.

Once I figured out what this site was about, I had fun creating my own categories. I used my bookmarks from my computer for websites to search. I hope that you find my searchrolls helpful. It saves me a little bit of time when I need to visit several websites to find information. On the other hand, you can get a lot of hits to sort through if your search is too broad.

LibraryThing

I have used LibraryThing before. It is a great sight to keep track of the books that you own and the books that you have read. One day, when I have some spare time, I would love to add my children's books that I own. It would be interesting to see everything in this format. I also like that you can add your own reviews of books, tags, and you get to see other recommendations. If you would like to check out my books you can go to:

Thing #10

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:54:00 +0000

This was a fun assignment. I spent about an hour playing around with some of these sights. I played around with the Generator Blog and it had some interesting websites to look at. My favorite was FD's Flickr Toys. I especially liked fooling around with my images.

Finally!

Yeah! I finally got my blogroll to appear on my page thanks to Andrea. Life can now go on. Hopefully this will be the hardest task and I can just breeze through the next ones. I find this very addicting. Where do I stop? I could probably add a lot more blogs to keep track of. Once I start using this page more, I can weed out the pages that I don't visit very often.

Thing #8

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 20:27:00 +0000

I am so frustrated with this lesson. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I was able to set up a bloglines account but I would like it to appear in my blog as a blogroll without much success. There is a link at the bottom of my blog to access my bloglines account if you would like to check it out. I guess I just need to play around some more to see if I can get this on my blog. I know that it is possible because I see it on other blogs. In case you're interested, here is the link to my bloglines account:

If this is the hardest lesson in my 23 things to learn then it should be smooth sailing after this!

Week 3

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:22:00 +0000

I just got done playing with the different toys recommended on this week's lesson. I made a photo cube for Emily to pay with and I was also able to make a trading card with my favorite driver. It was a lot of fun. It's amazing all the "games" you can do that I have never heard of before this lesson.

Beach

Beach,

This is my ideal vacation. Spending time at the beach with no worries.

7 and 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 20:06:00 +0000

After watching the video about 7 1/2 lifelong learning habits, I am having a hard time deciding on which habit is the easiest habit for me and which habit is the hardest. I guess my easiest habit is #7 1/2 - Play. Once I learn something new, I love to fool around with it and see how many different tasks can be accomplished with it. Plus the more you play the easier a problem is to solve. And I guess habit #1 is the hardest because once you start to explore a problem it usually expands. The more you investigate the farther away the solution becomes because you want to learn everything you possibly can about the solution. (Does that make sense?)

My First Entry

noreply@blogger.com (Emilysmom) — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 19:27:00 +0000

This is my first entry. I am looking forward to completing the 23 Things. Hopefully, I will be able to finish this up before Emily's sister / brother arrives! Nothing will get done after that:)
