Cats

My sister's kitties - aren't they cute?

More Image Generators

Here are some fun images created at: http://www.imagechef.com/
I had trouble getting images from YourGen Text Generator on this blog.

Bloglines

Bloglines is interesting, although I don't know if I will really check on it everyday like my email accounts. RSS technology is something I was not aware of, and I have started to notice the buttons on websites. Amazon has a blog called "The Leaky Cauldron," about Harry Potter. I didn't add this to my feeds because I haven't read book 6 yet, and I don't want to accidentally see stuff. I had some trouble with the RSS locator sites in finding what I was looking for, but I have managed to add many feeds to my bloglines account: www.bloglines.com/public/starrbug

Cameron is 4 months old

Cameron went for his 4 month checkup. He now weighs 16 lbs., 9 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long. He got all his shots, and he cried. This makes mommy and daddy very sad. He can start eating cereal and other foods now! Yeah!

Flickr

I explored Flickr and mashups. I looked at Retrievr, FD's Flickr Toys, Mosaic Maker, CD Cover, Trading Card Maker, Flickr Chia Pet, etc. I don't feel ready to share my pictures with the world at this time. I do have photos in albums on Walgreen's website to order and share with family. It's all very nice if you have the time to play around. There are some beautiful pictures.

Image Generators

I really like the image generators. I'll have to play with some of my own pictures. This is a sketch from a historical picture of Main Library. It is so easy! I used this website: http://www.dumpr.net/sketch.php I also made a a new book cover using: http://dummies.book.cover.txt2pic.com/

Lifelong learning and blogging

This is my first time blogging or having my own webpage. Barb has invited me to myspace, but I have never done anything but view her page.
About lifelong learning - I think it is of the utmost importance. One of the reasons why I love librarianship is that we deal with so many subjects and formats, you can learn new things everyday. That's why librarians are so good at trivia games!
I would like to learn more about digital imaging and photography, so that I can share photos of Cameron with my family. I would also like to brush up on my Spanish, so that I can teach my son a second language while he's young enough to really get fluent. I also want to keep current with new technology for reference work. My biggest obstacle is time. A new baby just sucks up all your time and energy!
