Finished the playground


Perhaps this is going to be a bit of cheating, but I took a look at podcasts and audiobooks, and already know some I'm going to download - when I get my MP3 player!!!(Hint, hint, Jacquie!)
I already download songs from iTunes to my iPod, so I figure the procedure can't be any more complicated than that.
Some podcasts I'm looking forward to downloading are Russell Peters and Flight of the Conchords. If you don't know about Flight of the Conchords, check out the DVD's the library has of their HBO television series. So funny!!!! You'll never think of New Zealand the same way again.

Yay!!! I'm finished!!!!

A Wookie, not a wiki


I am now determined to finish the playground! I looked back at what I had to do, and really I have now had some experience with all of these things.
Technorati - well, if I want to search blogs, this is the tool I would use. But I can't say it is something I use on a regular basis.
Social Networking - I guess I live in my own little world. If I want to get in touch with my friends, I phone or email them. I have asked lots of people, especially young ones, if they are on Facebook or whatever and a lot of them say it's just too time consuming. One person said, on Facebook, it's not the quality of friends you have but the quantity. I agree with this! However, having said that, I have watched Elizabeth pull up pictures of her distant relatives' wedding in Nassau from Facebook and was most impressed.
Wikis - who hasn't used Wikipedia? It is my first go-to source for an overview of just about anything. A wonderful use of the concept.
YouTube - I have wasted many an hour watching YouTube videos.

Ok, covered off 4 topics! Yeah! Now I just have podcasting and audiobooks to summarize.
