okay, so another thing that I'm probably not buying into -- at least not right now. I did logon to Friend Feed -- I can be found at www.friendfeed.com/dianerauschenfels if you're so inclined to look for me. :0) I looked around a little bit trying to find a things group but I wasn't successful -- I only found Linda Wadman. ;)
I might consider trying HelloTxt as a way to update my status on facebook and twitter. Okay, so I took the time right now & signed up ... I got my twitter status to update but my facebook status didn't work ... hmmm, need more detective work but later ... it's lunchtime!!!

Thing 40 -- Mashup the web
05/01/2009
hmmm, wheel of lunch?? A good idea considering we're usually trying to figure out where to go for dinner every Friday night! And even though we have numerous places available we always tend to get stuck in a rut and can't think of anywhere so end up at one of our several "usuals". As for lunch, the selection is very limited in this small town I work in -- I drive 20 miles from home to work.
Visual headlines -- this is very cool! A very interesting way to look at the headlines of the day. I clicked on some of the pics and saw many from flickr ... I liked this one titled "tiny teeth".
TimeTube -- another cool mashup tool. I like rocks so I entered "rock" as a keyword. It was interesting to see the results such as: friends rock, rock & roll, rock bottom, kid rock etc.
Walk Score -- I tried my area and only ranked a 5 out of 100 and "must drive" but then I live in a suburban area -- actually my house is built on an old dairy farm field! I also tried the Duluth downtown area and that rated much higher with a 89 out of 100 and "very walkable". I think this would be a useful tool for travel because of the helpful links on the side pointing to such things as libraries, shopping, dining etc.

Thing 39 -- Digital Storytelling
05/01/2009
Okay, so I like taking photos and I've tried the whole scrapbooking thing but I'm not that into it -- just to putzy or something for me. I have a creative side but I think I'm too much of a perfectionist and get hung up on how it looks.
Anyway, I've made a very simple, quick little scrapblog scrapbook with some pics I've taken of our library in the past -- prior to our addition & remodel. I'll not be a blue ribbon winner in any scrapbooking contest but I hope you can at least enjoy the pics!
