Yikers! I Forgot a Week
Here I am again. Just when I thought I'd actually finished on time and on budget!
I signed up for Jott! Hey, does anyone remember the fake M&M candies called Jots? Not as tasty as M&Ms but cheaper. Anyway, I talked to myself and said " hello world, peace-out." It was actually pretty cool. My voice sounded a little muffled but what a cool technology. Maybe I've found a way to remind myself about all I need to accomplish in a day at work. I can't seem to manage post-its and scrap notes very well and far be it for me to actually check my weekly planner. Oh, I did add something to the milk list long ago. I think it was about the god-awful snow. Usually I love snow but enough was enough already.
Did I make it Stef????!!!!!

Huhhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh
In case you didn't guess, that huhuh...is me panting in my haste to finish up before 4/7. I didn't know how to make a panting sound using letters so just go along with me, okay?
Am I curious? Are nosy and curious the same thing? Then yes! I was the kid who stealthily unwrapped all the xmas gifts to see what I was getting then carefully replaced the wrapping so the gig wasn't up. I remember when my parents wised up and hid the prezies in the car trunk. I managed to sneak the keys too. I used to read the end of books when only a few chapters in because I needed the answers and outcomes right away. Once I tried walking across a frozen pond because I wasn't convinced it was unsafe. Good thing the water only went up to my neck.
I love trying new things but often am too impatient to read the instructions. I dive right in though the results aren't always stellar. Projectplay elicited a sense of childhood excitement. I couldn't wait to try and explore everything thrown our way. Wow! It's overwhelming, exhilirating and terrific fun. Currently I'm moderating an online librarians eco-course through the U.W. and during the programming week, I'm asking the participants how they think using web 2.0 could further our mission as environmental activists. It's nice to know some of the vehicles and to actually know the term web 2.0.
Projectplay is one of the best learning experiences I've had in some time. Thanks for releasing my pent-up inner child and for connecting us to the "curiosity" video. And here all this time I thought my parents were right when, annoyed with my curiosity, they said one day I'd cut off my nose to spite my face. Nose and curiosity are still intact. I'm ready for my close-up, Pinocchio!

Mashups - Mmmmmm
Wouldn't Mashups be a super name for a babyfood company? Yum yum.
I wouldn't say I had the best experience on mapbuilder.net. My first foray produced only the corner of a map that didn't allow me to scroll to find CP. The second time produced no map at all. Our library name is in the location box, however, so some success was achieved. (I like logobama too!)
I'm rolling around the idea of somehow working up a mashup that combines environmental issues and libraries. Today my creative drive is taking a nap, so I'll give this more thought when motivation repays a visit.
