E-Mail from your PSP

2008-05-14T04:02:00.000-07:00

Last night I sent my first e-mail from my psp. It's really east to do, First get a gmail account from google.
Next, set your browser on your psp to the google mobile view. The mobile view has less graphics so it loads much faster. It can aslo be customized with local weather and news amont other things. I bookmarked mine to get there quicker. Next just log into your gmail account and your ready to go. Its that easy! Try it out : )

* * IT'S WEEK 10 ! ! ! * *

2007-06-19T12:22:00.000-07:00

Well this week we learned more on podcast. We also got to see netLibrary where you can download ebooks and eAudiobooks. They have a great demo and quickstarts section that we took a look at. I got an account with netLibrary, I want to try out both types of media. As for the wonderful mp3 player, I want to try some eAudiobooks, Music, and podcasts. I want to see what it feels like to have lots of entertainment and information in the palm of my hand. Thanks for letting us have the 2.0 course. THANK YOU ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ALL!!

Week#9 the Digital World

2007-06-14T09:22:00.000-07:00

This week we saw a video that was a Library Musical, It was quite entertaining. I really like the expressions on the patrons who were caught off guard. We also learned about copyrights and DRM. I have seen many different opinions on the matter. I'm not sure where I stand on any of them. The link onCopyright Laws did help alot tho. All this stuff is kinda new to me so I'm still digesting all the info. I do like the idea of being able to hear music before you buy it. I also looked at LastFM and Music Map. I like how they can help you find more music similar to groups that you like. *Hey! I also added a widget to my blog... IT'S PONG!!! check it out near the bottom of the page. I got it from Springwidgets. Play and have fun*

It's Week 8

2007-06-07T04:26:00.000-07:00

This week we got to learn about a site called Flickr and Creative Commons. Flickr lets you post pics that you can share with everyone or just friends. You can check it out on this link - Flickr.
I posted some pics taged 101central...I'm still waiting for them to show up. In the mean time I put some links to my Flickr pics on the side under Library Links .. check them out.

The Web 2.0 course has been a great learning opportunity. I have discovered alot of stuff I did'nt know and have new resources I'll keep using. We have group learning and share what we discover. It's also been fun and its nice to help others learn new things.

Week 7 Fun Stuff

2007-06-05T04:26:00.000-07:00

This week we got to have some fun exploring. There was Dogster and Catster, both sites are a cool place to get or share pet info. They even have a page for adopting a new pet and a place to share your pet video's . I like both cats and dogs.. but I was looking for a page on robots.. so far no luck finding one.

Week #6 and the Library Thing

2007-05-23T07:07:00.000-07:00

____________________________________________________________________

Wow! that Wikimapia is really cool tool ! Library Thing is nice, great for sharing personal collection information. Bookmooch is a good way to share books you have enjoyed but no longer want to keep. My favorite for now is What Should I Read Next?. This site helps you find other books similar to the type of books you have read. Looking around on the Web I found a blog about PDAs and e-books called "The Handheld Librarian ". The site also has some cool links to.
I also found a OCLS page called NetLibrary. It has information on e-books, e-journals, and e-audiobooks.

I added the sites to my new list for Library related links on the side. Check them out.

Hello Week 4

2007-05-08T04:28:00.000-07:00

Wow it's week four already?

This week's course really put 2.0 in perspective for me. We got to see a video called "Web 2.0" that showes how technology has changed some, but more so how people use it in connecting with each other. It was good to see OCLS on Myspace and Youtube. It gives me a good feeling knowing we are reaching people on the Web. I really like SEOmoz. I like the way you can go there and see all the Web sites in a list by category and summaries on what they are. One site I found called Arcaplay has great games that are presented in Flash, so you don't have to save anything to your computer. They are fun and free. check it out in my list of links :) the Space Fighter game is much like Asteroids...coool

Week 3 : Eye on Bloglines

2007-05-02T07:13:00.000-07:00

This week on Learn 2.0 we got introduced to Bloglines and Grokker. Bloglines is a really nice, FREE service that lets you get RSS feeds. Bloglines has a great list of feeds to chose from. Some of the feeds I got were Engadget, PC magazine, Nature, and the OCLS's Orange Slices. I like that all this info comes to me at one location, instead of going from web site to web site. The RSS feeds kinda remind me of a magazine subscription. Grokker is
a great search engine. Unlike other sites Grokker gives you options on how you view your search results like, Outline View and Map View. I did my search on robots and the Outline View gave me great list of web sites broke down into categories, like robots in news, movie robots, robot collections, and more. The Map View put my search results in a group of category circles containing tabs with page links. Each circle also had layers. Entering a category circle kinda reminds me of digging through a file cabinet.. it was kinda neat but I prefer the Outline view. Well that's all for now, Hope all you blog readers out there have fun!

Hey! More Stuff!!

2007-04-26T09:18:00.000-07:00
