LBB's Tweet Too

In the birding world LBB stands for Little Brown Bird. There are zillions of different varieties of Little Brown Birds out there, and they all tweet the same, and look pretty much the same, and most of us amateurs just ignore them as more trouble than they're worth. I feel the same about Twitter. It's hard to distinguish one person's tweet from another, and most of the tweets don't seem like they're worth my Highly Valuable Time to bother with. These people need to get a life.

Sites for Students 2pt0

Hi Bob. I'm getting down to the wire on this MP3 carrot challenge. Today I explored, or at least tried to explore, Notely and Stikkit. Notely looks like an awesome site through which to create, compile, update, and review classroom notes. If I were back in college, I would probably try it out myself. I watched the tour video, but couldn't get the sound to happen. Stikkit looked more promising for the "woman of a certain age" that can't remember "Who am I, and Why am I here?" most of the time. Unfortunately, I could not get any of the little video tutorials to load, so I didn't get the in-depth intro I would have liked. All in all, however, I was very impressed at the variety and creativity of various sites listed in the lesson. These times they are a changin'.

Wikis, pt. 2

I did the reading, learned the concepts, then deleted the addition to the SubLife page that I added last week. Since I belong to the "on-call staff", I don't really have a branch to call my own to brag about. I love all the branches. Everywhere I go, the staff are wonderful. I feel welcomed each day that I show up for work. I have more co-workers that just about anybody else at KRL and no one is a stranger for long. This is the best job I've ever had, and I'd say so on the Wiki, except there isn't really an appropriate place to do so. Sorry, Bob.
