OverDrive

Roxie and I liked the OverDrive exercise. I have been wanting to download OverDrive on my home computer for some time. Now that we have done it and downloaded some music videos, we are really enjoying this new resource. Roxie especially likes listening to the music, watching the computer screen is hard for her to view. Roxie's only comment was about the time it took to download some of the longer books. Next time we will go for a walk while we are downloading.

Deeelicious!

Deeelicious! Roxie says the best invention since dog kibble. Roxie spent a lot of time at this site looking for information on dog psychology and training methods. She's hoping that I might learn something from her efforts. Delicious helps to mange the information explosion that the internet has brought. I'm looking forward to see how our account will grow over the next 6 months.

Wiki! WIki! Wiki!

The Wiki - another way to improve communication. Roxie and I are amazed at the many ways that a wiki can help with family gatherings. Roxie is exhausted by the numerous telephone calls, messages and misunderstandings when trying to coordinate these events for our large extended family. Just look at her before our last party. She can barely raise her head off the pillow. Now with the Family Wiki she says its going to be a snap!

Libraries could also make use of the wiki to have on-line book clubs. Discussion points could be posted and members could respond at their convenience creating a limitless conversation.
