Library Thing

To me is seems like an online service that allows many people to post the books they are reading, have read, or want to read. This could probably be a good place for people to post books that they might be using for some research/project and they would like to make that information available to others. Honestly I do not know how much I would actually use this site, but there is a possibility that eventually it could become useful to me. i have added the link to my Library Thing page. Check it out.

Tired Barn...Image Generator


As I have said before, I am a techno geek. This was actually a lot of fun. For me, getting to edit photos is a great past time. It is fun to see the end result. It can be used in many ways, but truthfully I don't know how it could be used with my career. What a fun way to make interesting images that are customized by you. This photo is one that I took on a recent trip to the beach. An old barn that had had enough. It is along side the road in route to Avila Beach.

Podcasts...

This seems like something I could really enjoy. My i-pod gets used quite frequently by me, it is a great companion during my morning runs and I like having new material on there. One thing that really stood out, were some of the religious channels. I saw one that was titled, One Year Bible Pod... It seems like it's some sort of a bible study as a podcast. That would be something awesome to have. What a great way to get into the Word. I was not sure if these podcasts needed some sort of a subscription, or whether they were free. I am still checking out the site, and figuring out the best way to download the podcasts themselves.

Technorati

....Of all the sites we have visited so far, Technorati has been the one that I have least liked. It could have to do with the fact that I have not yet really understood its purpose. I have watched the recommended video, browsed the site, and am still having difficulty grasping it all. I did do the search of Kinesiology and noticed the differences when I searched in the different categories. There were some interesting videos that I watched and did enjoy. There is great possibility that once I return to the site, do some more research about it, I will find some good uses.

C'mon...Everyon'e YouTube'n

I was introduced to YouTube about 1 1/2 years ago. Some of my friends joke with me and say that I am a YouTube "junkie". Here's a confession, I am on there a lot. Well, I was on it a lot, until I started my Graduate Courses...priorities. I know that you can find just about anything on YouTube. For me, it has been a great way to stay caught up with numerous sport's hightlights. Being an avid soccer fan, it has allowed me to watch a lot of soccer related videos. Things from highlights, interviews, and video compilations that other individuals have posted. I have never posted any video on YouTube, and really do not have a desire to, but I sure do enjoy checking out other's creations. The video I posted on this blog page is an example of one of those created by somebody. I have seen how useful it can be, by watching some of the tutorial videos. This could possibly be something I could use in the future with coaching...posting game film on a site where the athletes could watch it on their own.

Del.icio.us...mmmmmm good!

There have been many times when I needed to visit a particular site that I had checked sometime earlier. Problem? I could not remember the address. Luckily it had been saved into my favorite's folder...on my home pc, not at work...where I was. The del.icio.us site would have solved my problem. Now that I am on the internet a lot more, (thank you Graduate program) I come across sites that could be useful to me. Having a del.icio.us account would allow me to save anything I found, and then be able to use it from any computer I am on. I see del.icio.us as being very useful for research...I plan on being a part of it.
