Listening to free audio from Archive.org's Live Audio Archive
Judy, here's a quick and dirty lesson on listening to free audio from Archive.org's Live Audio Archive. More dirty than quick - some of the captions don't make sense, the screen doesn't always display what it should, and there was drilling in the office when I recorded...

Dewey and LibraryThing
IndyFanJudy asked me over email how to use Dewey numbers in LibraryThing. So I made this video using a trial download of Adobe's Captivate demonstrating how to change your LibraryThing settings to show Dewey numbers. Apologies for the background noise - Technical Services at TSLA ain't quiet.

Mixing RSS
I've been trying to compose a "Super RSS" feed for TSLA Learning participants' blogs (and comments), and I've stumbled across a couple services I need to remember.
Most notably, I want to play more with Yahoo! Pipes - it looks pretty darn cool.
I also need to remember to check the feedbite feed I created to see whether it ever populated or not. When I tried KickRSS, it would not read the OPML file I had exported from BlogLines - I think because its server load was to great (when I tried to add individual feeds, it would kick 50% out with an error citing too much server load). I think this is a common problem in Web 2.0 applications - they've gotten so easy to program that anyone can throw up an app, and they're so useful that they can get HEAVILY used (by legitimate folks and nefarious spambots), which pushes the limitations of a server's hardware and pipe.

UPDATE: Thanks to Sharif for pointing out that the URLs I uploaded to the feedbite feed were malformed - they've been fixed!

TSLA Learning 2.0 Week 3: TEVA
"Health in Play" - if I were clever, I might be able to turn this post into a rousing celebration of the core values of this series of TSLA Learning 2.0 exercises.
TSLA Learning 2.0 Week 3: Librarian Trading Card
I handcrafted this librarian trading card back in the good ol' days when Sue and I were toying around with different Web 2.0 tools. Karina took the original photograph, and I edited it using the legally free, full-featured photo program The GIMP.
In an unrelated note: who out there has tested retrievr? When Sue and I were toying around with different Web 2.0 tools, I had the most fun with retrievr!

TSLA Learning 2.0 Week 3: Photos and Images
k thsi kitteh pix iznt rly fnny. Unless you're already a geek. But not so geeky that you can't appreciate the occasional cute picture of a cat on the internet.
I've been doing an informal poll, and it looks like the only people who get this particular lolcat picture were in the 6th grade in either 1985 or 1986.
