#37 Music

Streaming music is blocked in the work place and on the public PCs download limits etc make it difficult to get around this one . It is a natural progression joining radio and Internet and making them interactive . Users can select own music and listen while working with the inevitable invitation to buy. Groups grow up around the liking for a similar style of music similar to those that grow up around the books in " library thing" this to me is a more comfortable use of the idea of Internet community not just chattering aimlessly. Tried creating a quilt of covers but it leads away from the page promoting the album and with intrusive advertising.
How could this be incorporated into the library? Perhaps at the beginning of a special Internet training program with a theme, Chinese music? not for a while yet I suspect. For my radio widget I chose Fela Kuti a famous african protest singer his son now sings in a similar style but I like the old master and his highlife jazz

#36 before and after curious

Image editing , is something I have never done, was curious but I suffer from the modern disease of impatience waiting at some of these sites to get from point a to point b stifles the creative imagination I wanted to try the one with more features like adobe photoshop however Fauxto has changed hands to Splashup and logging in takes for ever (several seconds over and over) maximum pool size had been reached (how many thousands were fiddling with their pictures at the same time it's scary) Much easier to get the software and get on with it. I turned to Picnik no registration now required and so much quicker to get into. Curious one exposed to the world before and after.

#35 What a twit

This reminds me of the men you see in supermarkets who have to ring home to their wife to find out which aisle the potatoes are in. A constant need to be in touch has got to be unhealthy. It is like text messaging but on a PC, instant messaging has been around for a while. I had an Aunt once who had to tell me in minute detail what she had been doing all day ( she was my Aunt so I listened) For many others I would have to say a big ( talk to the hand)

#34 Fit (OK already I am trying don't nag)

Well this is also a bit of nonsense, if I was organised enough to fill in each morsel I eat etc etc, then I would be walking every morning without fail and filling in points books and religiously adhering to diet regimes (not happening Jan) When I saw the title of this exercise I thought something useful. The better health channel wins hands down on these sites, include recipes ,tools, health facts

#33 arty

Me, I love the snowflake maker it reminds me of a Kaleidoscope I had many moons ago.

#32 Storage plus

omnidrive sounded good but every time I tried to register it had problems it kept hitting an internal error. Imagine if that happened while trying to access an important document . A free account must be accessed every 60 days or it will be lost. I do like the idea of storing this amount.
Google docs can hold a lot as well but this site has the added image tool if only I can get in ( I will return )Finally tackled boxnet storage with success has many possibilities including faxing ,permanent url and posting direct to a blog.

#31 Organised, who me?

Plaxo is yet another organiser but with with links to others but it could be intrusive. You can do a lot of this with lotus. I don't , I tend to rely on the old diary simply because I like to take info with me (maybe when I own a blackberry I would input all info as it is, I see it as a doubling up on input) Care must be taken setting up, each level of privacy needs to be specified otherwise it is open slather. I won't be subscribing to anything life is too short and my downloads are too small. Just how many people do you want to have your email address. If you are a totally Internet activated phone orientated person who can not bear your own company it might work for you.
At work if linked only to your team it may be useful to synchronise meeting information, training notes, professional reading etc but could be a time wasting not a time saving tool.
