Mapping

Well -- this was fun! I have a friend coming in to town on Friday and Neil and I are meeting him and his wife at Calories for supper. I thought it might be fun to try and make him a map to get from the Bess to Calories (with pictures and a few snippets of info -- see if it works). Anyway, here it is! http://www.communitywalk.com/getting_to_calories/map/1103402

I can definitely see the use of something like this, especially for situations like this one.

Widgets and Gadgets

I think these can be so fun -- although you can lose yourself in scanning through them all!! Widgets can be really useful on webpages, they can be quick links to useful sites or bits of information. I always like the ones for temperature/weather (maybe cuz I'm a prairie girl :-)

Only 58 days until summer holidays!!

Social bookmarking

I have been lax, I'm afraid, and madly trying to catch up!

I've never tried the social bookmarking thing, part of my problem is that I find there are so many different ways of sharing -- how do you decide which is best? I guess one nice thing about some kind of social bookmarking is that you don't have to be on your computer in order to access your favourites. That's a plus. I can also see it as a tool if you are working with others on a project or gathering information. Diigo does have more features (highlighting and comments) than something like GoogleReader...

I've done a bit of playing around, but not a whole lot. Found a music group to watch and have one site in my 'Library'.
