I just attended the SirsiDynix Institute on 25 Technologies in 50 Minutes and I have to say that Stephen Abram is a man after my own heart. Learning Learning Learning - make time for learning - that was the theme of this event!
Stephen suggests:

going crazy with images and adding them to our library sites [...]

Over at LibrarianInBlack there is a summary of Stephen Abram’s Keynote at CLA 2006. There is so much I want to quote! I wish I was there!
Stephen talked about anegnosis–that we don’t want to admit that things are changing, a resistance to new knowledge. He talked about the fact that we need to [...]

That’s how Downloadsquad explains the newest add-on in my Firefox toolbox - How’d I Get Here:
This is an innocuous little add-on that does one thing only: Tells you how you originally found the site you’re looking at. It has an elephant’s memory, so even if you bookmark the site and come back to it six [...]

At work I use IE - mostly because our library site was designed pre-Firefox and doesn’t looks so great in Firefox (redesign coming - 2007). One of things I miss when using IE at work is the handy Firefox inline search feature - well thanks to Lifehacker I have found a solution. Inline [...]

I just read on Techcrunch about the Likeness search - Like.com - from Riya. The reason I say this is for girls - well - look at the example that Techcrunch uses. You no longer have to scour the web to find that accessory you’ve been [...]

I am so sorry for the outage over the last few days. I was upgrading Wordpress and then had some issues with my host. I’m in the market for a new host for 2 sites if anyone knows of a good one. I’d like 2 domains on one account.

I was just reading my latest Library Journal and came across an article in Feeback titled “ALA’s alternate to an MLS.”
In it Leslie Burger makes me very happy
I’ve asked Dan O’Connor (chair, ALA Education Committee) to focus his group’s attention on creating an action plan for reforming library education at the ALISE/ALA Education [...]

I just found this list of 56 services you can ping with your new blog posts - I’m not going to ping them all, but I did find a few I didn’t know about.

I’m wondering what everyone searches for and watches in their ego search feed. My search (blended by FeedBlendr) reads:
Blogdigger search for nicole engard, Technorati Search for: http://web2learning.net, Yahoo! Search: “nicole engard” or “nicole c. engard” or “nicole c engard”, Technorati Search for: “what i learned today” AND (nicole OR engard), Technorati Search for: nicole [...]

I just played with MyPictr to update my profile photos on Flickr, Technorati, and here. It’s a pretty handy little tool - beats waiting for Photoshop to load up so I can crop an image.

When I was at Internet Librarian I had a chance to have a very interesting conversation about the newest generation (GenY, Millenials, whatever you call them) with Stephen Abram.
He stated that I was a Millennial - but that my husband was a GenXer (even though we were born in the same year) - [...]

Martin Cleaver makes an interesting connection based on David Weinberger’s keynote at KMWorld & Intranets last week.
Dave Weinberger's analog of a pile of fallen leaves for folksonomy stirred my thought that the nature of the world is for old things to fade and disintergrate, and for new things to stem from the old.
Well, blogs certainly [...]

I guess it pays to go to these conferences and talk to everyone. Jenkins Intranet was mentioned on the IntranetBlog. I made sure to comment to address some of Toby’s concerns - I think sometimes people who consult big companies on their intranets forget that us little guys don’t really need as many [...]

I was just watching Andrew Pace’s presentation from the PALINET Conference (I couldn’t go - same time as IL this year) and I’m totally wishing I could have heard his talk - the presentation has a lot more meat than most, so I recommend you view it.

I want a new digital camera. As you can see by my pics from the 2 conferences my camera’s not so good with the dark places. I see some great pictures take in the same rooms I was in - and I just want to know what cameras you’re all using and happy [...]

David Weinberger posts over at Joho the Blog about the need for people who can find information (librarians ) in the future:
