Consider how powerful social media was to the Arab spring. Social media may have more clout than the PAC dollars TV adds. Just ask the Susan G. Coleman folks. Never underestimate the power of the Internet. Lots of noise!Pygmy Ponyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859494689215772150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259848227772464898.post-8637145069158959282010-02-16T12:53:00.000-08:002010-02-16T12:53:43.114-08:00Radioranger's Collection | Daniel Boone Regional Library | BiblioCommons<a href="http://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/collection/show/70721395_radioranger/library">Radioranger's Collection | Daniel Boone Regional Library | BiblioCommons</a><br />Well since I hate to renumber numbers not having to use a library card number to log in to the catalog it is a SWEET thing to have a user name. I doubt I'll create lists and other special networking stuff. I already create an on air plylist of Music on KOPN every Sunday for three hours. So The digital straws continue to pile upon on the camel's back.

But I have had little time to catch up on the stories that funnel their way into my reader. Too busy, Moving Snow Hauling firewood in and hauling ash out. It's a little too much in reality .It's more like a email box that just keeps filling up. So while I can see the great benefit of a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">RSS</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">subscription</span>. I'm wondering who has the time to read all the stuff that comes to them? The NOISE level just seems to get louder.Pygmy Ponyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859494689215772150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259848227772464898.post-31928775879511173752009-12-21T12:01:00.000-08:002009-12-21T12:48:07.090-08:00Coolest Site of Web 2.0 and Beyond<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">OK</span> hands down the coolest site and number one on the hit parade of MAPS is Google Maps? I like the satellite <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">images</span> and love to Zoom into a place. Way back in the dim ages before computers I use to look at <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stereoscopic</span> images in Forestry school. Google Maps is way more fun! The terrain feature is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">OK</span>, Not to excited <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">about</span> the traffic application. But the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">satellite</span> images are pretty amazing, still can't zoom in close enough to see who has umbrella drinks and who is drinking beer at the party, but you could sure get a map to find the party. Play around a bit with My Maps adding my house to a Map for easy location. Have not drawn any lines on the map yet but that is a cool feature. Interfacing with Google <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Earth</span>, what more could you want from the Internet. I have always loved looking at maps this is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">absolutely</span> the best. More high resolution. I can't see how it only Google Maps rates only 4 stars for Social Aspects. Make a better map to your party some where else? I don't think so. Just think if Columbus would of had this technology! The library could mark all it's bookmobile stops and branch locations. Any way you look at it Google Maps rule.Pygmy Ponyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859494689215772150noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259848227772464898.post-1965227566506188942009-11-16T08:59:00.000-08:002009-11-16T09:26:54.637-08:00Like a Sea Turtle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eomppxmsLsA/SwGIM_Zd2TI/AAAAAAAAACo/Kv1Wlz2S0zs/s1600/ctbeach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eomppxmsLsA/SwGIM_Zd2TI/AAAAAAAAACo/Kv1Wlz2S0zs/s320/ctbeach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404750784579361074" border="0" /></a><br />I've been going to this beach in Florida since before I was born. My <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">parents</span> loved this place and I have tried to make a trip there at least once a year like some kind of logger head sea turtle returning to the sands of its birth ever since.<br /><br />The sand is almost pure white clear since it is 99% pure quartz crystal. It is the texture of fine powder sugar. In the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">middle</span> of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hottest</span> day the sand is cool because it is so reflective. When I was a kid I thought all beaches were like Crescent Beach. The giant arc of sand is created by a natural rock outcropping called Point of Rocks.<br /><br />The white soft sand and warm slat water rejuvenate my soul . My next <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">visit</span> there will be in August of 2010 which seems like a long way away, So if your ever on the west coast of Florida near Sarasota stop off at Siesta Key and enjoy the fine sands of Crescent Beach!Pygmy Ponyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859494689215772150noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259848227772464898.post-1830736139088488882009-11-03T07:56:00.000-08:002009-11-03T08:28:18.501-08:007 1/2 Steps to Life Long LearningIs there any way to go back into the old box once the box is opened, I guess not they recycled it. Always save the original packaging along with your receipt.<br /><br />Hardest- Trying to read print that is too <span style="font-size:78%;">small </span>or changing at it's own speed I hate moving targets when I'm reading. Pause, Pause, Pause.<br /><br />Easiest - Playing is fun. Play, Play Play<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Remember</span> "The Shinning" ? " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!"<br /><br />So in Summary I like to learn by playing! Let me think about that and I'll tell you more.Pygmy Ponyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859494689215772150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259848227772464898.post-35711161769313492952009-10-26T08:19:00.000-07:002009-10-26T08:22:22.843-07:00More noiseBlogs like weeds just keep popping up.
