Thing #12 - Rollyo

I created a Rollyo search for shopping sites that often have sales on sandals and Birkenstocks. I could definitely see using this when looking for new sandals, and other applications for those interested in things other than footwear.

Thing #13 - del.icio.us

As part of ALA's GLBTRT (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgendered Round Table) membership committee to which I belong, earlier this year I created a del.icio.us for it.

Thing #11 - LibraryThing

I read quite a bit, being on a number of Teen book selection committees in addition to the three book clubs to which I belong. LibraryThing would be a useful place for me to collate all of the books that I read and not confuse them. It is quite a beneficial website.

Thing #10 - online image generator

Using Big Huge Labs, I created a trading card for one of my dogs, and posted it to my Flickr.

Thing #7 - Technology related post

Medical technology fascinates me. The spinal cord injury this past weekend suffered by Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett was initially described by physicians as "catastrophic". However, using a hypothermic method immediately and continuning the cooling throughout his surgery, yesterday doctors were able to get Everett to voluntarily move his arms and legs. Although Everett will never play football again, the fact that he could recover and walk is a complete 180 degree turn from what the medical community believed just 24 hours earlier.

Thing #6 - Flickr fun & mashups

I could not access Mappr, and Montager was unclear. I think it would help if I added more photos to beyond ones of me and my dogs. Instead, I used Big Huge Labs to create a mosaic image of goldfinches which I uploaded to my Flickr.

Thing #5 - Explore Flickr

I have had a Flickr page set up for some time but I was not familiar with all the bells and whistles that are available and continue to be added to the site.
