23 Things Assignment #8


Janis Joplin performed in Toronto in 1970, just a few months before she died at age 27, after her very successful but very short career (1963-1970).


I simply had to share "Wake up cat" ! I found out it was done by an English animator, Simon Tofield, who works for an animation company and is obviously a cat owner (if, indeed, they are "owned" by anybody...). His original title was "Cat Man Do".


This was a fun and easy assignment and I am sure library could (and should) use YouTube to promote its services/programs to young and "hip" audiences, taking advantage of its enormous popularity.

23 Things Assignment #7

I added three podcasts to my Bloglines account, through Podcast Alley;

Art+ on KDRT (art)
Eclectic Mix (music)
Motivation to Move (exercise)

I didn't spend too much time on finding podcasts on the Internet through Google, but in my short experience it didn't always work well. For instance, I'd find something of interest, but it turned out I couldn't subscribe to it (no RSS feed) - ? I guess I need to explore it a lot more.
Otherwise, it was good to find out more about podcasts and I may be able to find more use for them in the future (the more you know about something, the more use it could potentially be for you, right?).
