Just because I can and because this is an amazing bathroom

If I had to go on a holiday, where would I go?
If I had unlimited $ I would have to choose Dubai, the home of the 7* hotels and man made islands representing Earth's landmasses
It looks so opulent; full of colour and facinating architecture, 2 of my favourite things
I have been trying to upload some Flickr pictures to my blog for the 2.0 course and I have had no end of trouble. BUT I will not let technology beat me so here's hoping that you can now see some amazing pictures taken by others as I continue to dream about my fantasy holiday

My current reason for being
In case you were wondering, after reading my first post, the reason I have succumbed to the lure of the blog is because of NSW Public Libraries Learning 2.0. This is an online, self paced, directed learning opportunity that aims to keep us librarian types up to date with that new fangled technology stuff
It's a fabulous opportunity, one that I am looking forward to exploring. Even if it means more time spent at a computer and away from all of those books I am yet to finish reading
..........................................................................................................................................................................
hmmmmmm......
After re-reading the above I realise that I sound like a complete ludite and that this training is more important for me than I had previously realised
Looking around it is obvious that if libraries, and librarians, are to remain relevant, vibrant and (not to put too fine a point on it) employed, we need to be using the technology offered in interactive online resources like blogs, facebook, flickr, podcasting etc in our everyday work and if we want to be taken seriously by our library members we had better use it well
Cheers

I have finally succumbed
Well, well, well...
Here I am with a blog...
I have been stubbornly refusing to make one of these things. I don't even have a Facebook page (why would I afterall? I spend seven hours a day looking at a computer screen so why on earth would I go home and do more of the same?!?)
But in the name of learning and development I have done it, I have a blog of my own [sigh]
Give me another week and look for me on Facebook, I'll probably become addicted now ;-)
(PS - disclaimer - spelling is not my strength and I can't get spellcheck to work on this thing today. So, sadly, all errors are my own, though I often wish I could blame someone else)
