Technorati - Thang No. 14

Yes, I'm back and with paws fairly intact. I've been looking around Technorati this morning under the tag 451 because of The Big Read. It's ironic because the last time I played around with Technorati is was for Big Read 2008, getting the To Kill a Mockingbird blog officially listed on Technorati. That blog was replaced by the Big Read 2009 Ning - won't you join us for 2009? The Big Read 2009 Ning

So, looking at Technorati is like revisiting an old friend who you haven't seen in ages...I found this 451 video highly rated under the 451 tag on Technorati. Liked the overview of the Bradbury book banning incident in Conroe, TX (originally aired on ABC news but "recaptured" on YouTube by The Constitution Man). I couldn't disagree more with the heavy handed politics at the end, but it's mostly good stuff before then. And that's what democracy is all about, eh?

Continuing to Play - post deadline

Well, I'm going to keep playing. Health concerns have kept typing to a minimum, and I've needed my paws for work. But the 23ers inform me that the blog lessons will live on past 1/31, so I'll just have to play them a little more slowly.

Del.icio.us and Wordle - Thang No. 13

Just created a Wordle graphic design using my tags from del.icio.us. It's super fun - and you can see other galleries of word art from those using del.icio.us and beyond. The words are bigger depending on how often you attach that tag to bookmarks. Art is huge because of obvious reasons (I'm your friendly art librarian) and I was tagging Spain a lot last year because of my travels. You can create word art around any set of tags or any series of words. I warn you, it's addictive.
