Have you submitted your photo or video for Library 101 yet?

David Leek King and Michael Porter are up to it again, they are making a new library video! and they want your help! Remember Hi-Fi Sci-Fi Library? It’s easy, just take photos of yourself and other library staff with the one and zero Michael posted and submit them to the Flickr photo group. Or you can submit a video, Michael says: 1. The song will be fast. Showing lots of 0′s and 1′s going by quickly is very good! 2. Short videos are best. Five seconds is good amount. Multiple five second or less videos could all be included but unless they are especially remarkable, longer video submissions will likely be edited down. 3. Grouping 1′s together and then grouping zero’s and then 1′s again is good. “101, 101, 101. 101, 101″ just the way it sounds when you read that. 4. Creative is good! 5. One of the visual themes of the video, in addition to the pictures and the zeros and ones we are using are the basic colors of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo, plus white, pink and grey. Thats’ it! It’s super easy so you’ve got no excuse! Get to it! Light!

Get Shoving and Making!

Get Shoving and Making!

you haven’t heard yet, the fabulous Joshua M. Neff, Steve Lawson and Iris Jastram have created The Shovers and Makers award. And there is only one way to become a Shover and Maker: declare yourself one. No one knows what you have been doing all year as well as you do. No one knows what motivates you, what your professional passions are, why you work so hard on behalf of your patrons, clients or co-workers. So only you really know why you are a winner. Please write a quick profile of why you are a winner this year, and it will get published on this site. Of course I nominated myself and I’m loving reading everyone else’s.  So head over there and declare yourself a Shover and Maker!

Search Flickr by Color

Search Flickr by Color

I came across this cool tool from Idée on Circulation this morning.  It allows you to search Flickr Creative Commons liscensed photos (or photos from Alamy) by clicking on the color or colors you want the photos to have.  You then click on the thumbnail to get the photo and the liscense information.   The only down side is the collage doesn’t list the url of the photos it generates so you can’t really use it as a whole and follow the attribution part of CC.

Just because I can.  Wordpress.com now has an option to create and add polls built right into the post toolbar. Sweet! So I made up a poll.  I’m not planning to do anything with this info, other than probably write a blog post about it.   Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Buzz it up Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend

The web 2.0 thing you build me didn’t work

I came across this cartoon recently and I just love it. I think I had it in both presentations I gave last week. You can seem more like this at Gaping Void.
