YouTube must be one of my kids favorite things to do! They've showed me many funny videos. This one I chose because I used to watch it as a child. I used to wait all week for that new episode.I loved to watch this cute little "Maulwurf". This brought back so many memories! I'm so happy I found it on YouTube.

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this thing?! Yes, I was able to attach the Rollyo search widget to my blog but...I guess I'm just a little frustrated right now. I'll try again later.

It was really fun to set up an iGoogle start page! I added several other widgets to my page. I think I will use this account a lot more now. It was also a lot of fun to create a Countdown widget! I took a look at Backpack. Then I created a web calendar( I chose the Google calendar) and made a Ta da list. I know I won't be using this tool much, I'd rather stick to my old method "Pencil & Paper".

The Library Thing tour was interesting! I created another account (now I really wish I would have used the same password on all my accounts...) added several books that I loved as a young teenager, mother, and two I am planning to read whenever I can find the time in this crazy, hectic world... It was cool to see that others liked the book "I am a bunny", too. It will always be one of my all-time favorite books. I must have read it to my kids thousands of times!
I think "Library Thing" could be very useful to some of our patrons that have a hard time remembering what they have already read. This way they can keep a list of everything they've read before. This really helps!

I watched the Common Craft video, checked out the different library wikis and created a wiki account. The book lovers wiki was cool. I liked the featured book review on " Flushed: How the Plumber saved Civilization". I also added my first comment to Neflin's 23 Things Wiki. It was fun and easy! Yeah! I also learned that wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. After that I was curious what my name means in Hawaiian. "Palapala" is my Hawaiian name for Barbara. And after that I got even more addicted and typed in all my children's names, let me tell you that was really fun!
