Although it wasn't necessary to post a blog on cloud computing, I have some thoughts...I love it. It's a great tool to allow small businesses flexibility, even allowing individuals who travel access to information without lugging around files, computers-heck even flash drives can get lost! I use delicious to keep track of all my "favorite" websites so no matter where I go and what computer I use, I will have all my links.
Docuemnt sharing--I love Dropbox and the Google docs as well.
Here's what I envision--librarians as Johnny Appleseeds, but instead of planting fruit trees, we plant information literacy skills. Imagine if ALA sponsered a kind of "peace corp" project where librarians traveled around the US to offer help and teach info literacy classes. It may not require a great deal of travel, perhaps just to another part of a state or into a different neighborhood. All a librarian would need is a room, a computer, internet access and a projector. A bit push effort to show the world how important we really are.

Week 11 Tweeting
I did create a twitter account and I don't really post to it. There may be a mental block with this because I really do not like Tweety Bird and the twitter jargon reminds me of him. Still!! I will swallow my animated character discrimination and wallow forth and when I mean wallow...WOW! Finding something on Twitter to follow ain't easy. I went outside of twitter to find something. When I went back in and tried to find what I wanted--error message. A few more tries and I was successful. Now I need to figure out how to read all these posts.
Week 8 Generators
This stuff is fun! I can see using these in displays, marketing material, etc. The image I chose was a random one but I will be doing some things for the home and showing the kids. They will get a kick out of it!
Metro Graffitist, Green Line.
This person suffers what I call "Special Snowflake Syndrom". He obviously thinks nothing he does is wrong; that rules, mores don't apply to him and all his actions are consequence free.

Week 7: Sharing slide presentations
My kids always enjoy it when Daddy makes a paper airplane. Wasn't sure I would find a presentation on the topic. What a pleasent surprise!! Since I'm not too confident in my own slides, I don't know if I will publish them. But maybe I will.
