I have come to the end of the course...although I intend to continue to enhance this journal with further posts as I go back and review this entire course to glean more from my points of interest as well as address some of the optional adventures that I did have time to complete.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my exploration into the world of Web 2.0. I will use my mp3 player to further exlore this world. Also I intend to use it to further my knowledge and abilities as a minister and teacher of God's Word the Bible. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.

Digital Rights Management Debate....
If we all lived by the same set of ethics which would be an ideal world, everyone would respect the rights of others and ther would be no need for the endless cycle of regulations and legislation to plug the holes in the previous regulations. There is One who is going to bring about such a world, and soon, and thats all I have to say about that!
On the subject of Mashups
In week 6 we were introduced to the concept of Mashups. I cam a cross a link to an article about Web 2.0 search engines that contain Mashups of a couple of the resources that we explored in the Learn 2.0 course. One is FlickrStorm, I encourage you to do a search on OCLS and see the results. Another is Similicio.us that is a mashup for del.icio.us.

What I like a about...
This is truly an enlightening course! I found a few of the library resources useful. Elf is a nice supplement to the OCLS catalog accounts for tracking loans and Gurulib is a handy resource for cataloging personal libraries. Shelfari seems to be an ideal resource for the avid reader to social network with other avid readrs. I personally don't have the time for recreational reading. Life is just too overwhelming in these last days. a prophet once said that "in the last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here". I find this to be very true. But I try to make time each day to learn new things. I like learning new things. This is a good thing for me because my occupation requires that I always be learning new things. This seems to apply also to anyone who works in a library system. Thank you Tom for directing us to all of these new resources that would have taken a long time to discover on our own.

It Keeps Getting Better
This Protopage is terrific. I know that I will be using this alot. I found Toms pics and profile and what town that he is from.
Games are for kids....
Although I found the Web 2.0 aspects of lesson 7 interesting, I was not interested in any of the content of the sites. I dont eat Trix either.
