Thing 22 Overdrive

I listened to the Overdrive tutorial and also looked at the catalog on BCPL's home page. I like the selection of titles better than Project Gutenberg's. My eleven-year-old now has an mp-3 player and I can see the possibility of her downloading a book to listen to on vacation. We currently use books on CD and books on tape that we all listen to. This way she could have her own.

Thing 22

I checked out Project Gutenberg and found several titles that might be fun--Old Tarzan books that the libraries no longer have. However, I don't know if I would ever download a book because I like my book to be portable--not tied to a computer. I examined e-books years ago and was not impressed because I prefer regular books--call me old fashioned. When I have time I will go through the tutorials for the other downloadable book sites.

Thing 21 success

I used yahoo podcasts and listened to the old farmers almanac. I then added it to my bloglines and it actually works!

Thing 21, cont

I checked out podcastalley.com. I has able to start listening to a broadcast. I find it difficult to find anything that I really want to listen to. I found jugglers on juggling but it was going to go on for an hour and 25 minutes. I listened to about 2 minutes of it and they still hadn't really gotten to anything about juggling--I don't have an hour and 25 minutes!

Thing 21

I listened to the ninja and then read the pages on podcasts. I went to podcast.net and then home and lifestyle. I selected pets but every podcast I clicked on just opened, sat there and did nothing.

Thing 20

Added youtube video to my blog. Can't see all of it but I will check that out next time. I'm out of practice time. :)

Thing 20

I explored youtube and found videos on smooth coat fox terriers. As with anything that one searches, it takes a bit to find exactly what one is looking for.
