The Learning Goes On

Lots of cool tools. Love RSS feeds but now I have to read or at least glance at all of the information that's pouring into my reader. Like Delicious and hope to have time to organize my favorites and desktop at work and at home. The operative word there is "time". Sharing documents should prove useful at some point. As long as I remember it's there. I am going to take some time at home to try wiki for my personal use sometime. I'll let you know if I get it done and how it works.

Fickr looks like a never ending dig for fun things to do. If you've got Flash on your home computer or work go to http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/09/06/us/20080907-wpa-iowa-map.html#. I'm not sure they actually used Flikr to build this site but I'm pretty sure it's possible. Only a few states available to click on so far but sounds like they're going to progress through all of them eventually. NY Times staff were in Iowa this summer, including my hometown of Marcus. They just happened to see a sign about our fair and stayed a couple of days. Just click on the towns with the little icons by them and turn up your speaker.

Now we need a session on time management so that we can organize ourselves to take advantage of some of these tools.
