The End
I'm glad I can still learn a thing or two. I would have enjoyed the whole process more if I wasn't bogged down with programming. My learning style does not suit this type of learning so well. Perhaps if I was of another generation it would be more my thing.
As one can tell I have enjoyed using Flicker. All learning is valuable. I might have preferred to choose from the 23 Thins those that I was most interested in and in need of learning, and spent more time with those.
Now, I must get out to my Shade Songs and Glad Rock before everything freezes ~~~
NetLibrary
After creating my account I found my searches frustrating, even with advance search. I never seemed to get the results I desired. This is a tasks I need to try again, because unlike many of the 23 things, customers may have the same issues I had.
Podcasts
Podcast was word of the year 2005 - boy do I feel behind the times!
I went to Podcastallley.com There I found Book Bites For Kids.
This is another place I needed more time for searching.

You Tube
I found a squirrel obstacle course clip that was kind of funny. Spending much time here seemed kind of like a waste of time, but, I could see where you could easily get caught up in endless searching.
Awards List
I went to the travel sites. Farecast.com was a bit messy looking, but did have a lot of info. Rated #2 was Kayak - they had a greater selection of travels modes and options. For sure some help at these sites. I'm interested in going back and checking out other Awards.
Word Processing
I checked out zoho writer. It was pretty straightforward. I would have been more pleased if the fonts selection actually appeared as they would be in the text, always a grip I have. That is half the fun for me.
Sandbos Wiki
If I was more techie (did I even spell that right?) I think I would have extra fun at this site. But, alas, I really would rather spend my time on the dunes in Kitty Hawk getting sand between my toes!
wikis
Quick - that it is. And so many possibilities for library use. A favorite site I found was libsuccess.org.
Web 2.0, Library 2.0
I must say, it is amazing what info is out there and available. I certainly have learned that know very little about all that the web can connect me to. There could be specialized training for just about every one of these 23 things. Perhaps then I might really learn how not to get caught in the web, but rather to snag some tasty morsels.
Technorati
I actually created a swicki via Technorati, which amazed me. I didn't post it because I don't really want to use it, but it was interesting to learn how to go about it if I ever had the need.
Del.icio.us
There were some interesting discoveries here, but I had the hardest time at this site. This is one where I needed much more time than I had
to really learn what I could do that would be so yummy.

LibraryThing
One Morning in Maine was my very favorite book when I was a child. It lives with other newer favorites like Olivia and David and Dog.
Library Blogs
There are many many very good sites for children's books found through parenting and public library sources.
Bloglines
Keeping names and passwords straight has been one of the biggest challenges. I have things set up but wonder how much I'll really use them.
Technology
I found an interesting bit of info at schoollibraryjournal.com - technology - tools and trends.

Crab Apple Blossoms
My mother always said never to plant a Crab Apple tree because they become very messy. But, their spring blossoms are so beautiful, how can a tree lover resit? I didn't plant one in our yard - I planted three!
