Technology Talk

Technology: How many ways I love you.



What can I say. I just love technolgy. I especially love You Tube and Video Sharing. Since discovering the phenomenon of "You Tube" I have been hooked, and I've introduced a lot of my friends to this as well and they too are hooked.

Imagine all your favorite tv and music performances that you had on video tape somewhere you can upload to share with the world. I love this because there are so many television and music perfomances that I thought I would never see again or have never even seen and it is all there at the click of a button. First there are all those music videos then there are entire concerts (for the Music fans check out Michael Jackson's Bad tour and Victory Tours), then there are television performances, award show performances, the list is endless. So for me this is like a musical wonderland.



Then there are favorite parts of movies, tv shows, and users' personal musical performances, dance recitals and user made music videos. It is rather exciting. This is just one of my favorite aspects of the Web 2.0 as it is called. It surely has revolutionized the web and video sharing is even playing a major part of the presidental elections. Did you check out the CNN /You Tube Debates?



If something happens today within minutes someone has posted it to You Tube. If you missed American Idol performance and you forgot to Tivo it, go to You Tube or any other video sharing website and it will be there. It's there and so is everything else.

One of my favorite musicals is "The Wiz" here is a link from one of my favorite clips from the movie. I found it found it on You Tube. Enjoy.

FLICKR FUN

Hello to everyone in Library 2.0 land.

I had a lot of fun with flickr's big huge labs that enabled me to create a lot of wonderful things with my photographs and other images. I especially like the features Magazine Cover, Calender, Captioner, Billboard and Framer. The US stamp feature in the framer is great but they need to update the price of a US stamp to 41 cents.

Anyway, I created a billboard of one of my favorite books "Owen and Mzee: the True Story of a remarkable Friendship. It is told by Isabella Hatkoff, Craig Hatkoff, and Dr. Paula Kahumbu, with photgraphs by Peter Greste. You probably heard about it, read about it, or seen a televison feature on the book and animals. I did and I just love the story it is so heartwarming. It is the true story of two great friends: a baby Hippo namee Owen and a 130 year old giant tortoise named Mzee.

I finally got a picture to upload.

Okay. To my fellow bloggers.

I finally got a picture on my blog, but how do I post it on the actually web homepage? I'm still trying to get it.

"If at first you don't succeed try again". That's my motto here. Still trying... ....

What I'd Like To Learn

I am really happy that the library has this program. It will enable everyone to be up to date with the latest trends on the Internet. Wow! The Internet surely has come a long way and it is ever evolving. Anyway, one of my major goals here is to create a short podcast or video log of a program or event.

Everything so far has been fairly simple. So I hope that I'll be able to achieve this goal.
