Web Thing #12

I've been using WorldCat for several weeks now; ever since Betsy told me about it. I use it for cataloging my books at home by means of the Dewey Decimal System. (Am I OCD or what?)

LibraryNet was new to me. Opening an account was a snap, but finding a book I wanted to read took some effort. In the end I was sucessful and I certainly (I think) could help someone else find their way around it, too.

Web Thing #10

I know I did #10 already, but I don't know what happened to it. Oh, well. You can find my comment on Jenn's 23 Things. The comment is in response to her latest (final?) post, Thing #23, Wrapping Up.

As far as the matter of technology goes -- I'm at a lost to figure out where all the time went that I saved by using these new-fangled technological innovations. Not complaining, mind you, just wondering!

Web Thing #11

My LibraryThing catalog is set up and ready to be filled to capacity! Here's where to find my library catalog: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/JamesE.

Web Thing #9

Well, I used BlogLines and a few other sources to add to my RSS feeds subscription list. I can't imagine when or how I'll have time to read them all!

Web Thing #8

I've set up my BlogLines account and have subscribed to a broad selection of RSS feeds. Some are mundane, though useful, while others are quirky, thought-provoking, or (sometimes) fun.

Web Thing #6

If you follow this link it will take you to my public Picasa album of photographs from the Titanic Dinner the Friends of the OCL sponsored last September.

Plan to visit the National Aquatic Garden (aka Web Thing #5)

Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens is located in the Anacostia section of Washington, DC. We visited there two summers ago and were very taken by the beauty and tranquility we found there. It is truly an oasis in Southeast DC. When you're there you can't imagine that bustling commercial and residential areas are just out of sight and hearing.
