1. my favorite discovery on this journey would have to be the capability of posting
the embedded players on the blog. The next favorite is to incorporate and
customized rollyo.com's mini search engine that i rolled for anime downloads.
2. This program is good for introducing me into knowing and applying a few web based
applications on my blog. It shows that there are discoveries on the internet that i have
not known before. It teaches me the discipline of following deadlines and instructions
given. And as a result, there are rewards for me like getting usb cruzers drives or
portable mp3 player. It's almost like getting a day's off: learning something and getting rewards
while working. i hope my work-life will be like these moments from now on.
3. i thought i was perfect and didn't missed any parts on the 23 things. but it's a good thing
that i asked the virtual team to help me recheck my assignment in order to make sure that i
make it through and receive credits. Along with a few encouraging words from 'quehondas' and
the team. Thanks again for extending the deadline to April 2nd.
These are the only surprises that i have so far.
4. I think the program is as good as it gets; like they say, there's always going to be some
margin of errors in a program. but just to kick it up a notch, i think it's better next time to
explore other sites on the web before we zone it into what we been exposed to so far. personally,
i don't know any other applications or web sites out there now. But i hope to participate again in
the future.

week 6: Technorati (missed topic)
i missed technorati as one of my assignment.
so i'm posting this on march 29 as an addition to week 6.
there are several differences that i see under keyword learning 2.0
in blog posts, tags, and blog directory categories.
Blog directory has links to the blog categories on technorati.com
it also have an option for me if i want to add a certain blog post to my favorites.
it has tags related to learning 2.o in a blog post.
it has links to other blog postings that are linked through keyword 'learning 2.0'
our picts can also be display in this area of technorati.
in the tags' search on learning 2.0, there are videos and picts posted by bloggers; it also have blog links, and html leading directly to the person's blog.
the blogs' search category leads me to the blog posters' opening statement of thier blogs. There were no html links here though. Links to other bloggers is shown.
In this area of technorati, i can also access postings of the blogger for technorati.com as well as the original postings on blogger.com
here we can claim the postings for technorati's customers; provided we sign up for technorati as a member.
SO . . . those are the differences that i noticed so far in the three searched areas
with keywords 'learning 2.0'
here i found a video about 2 otters holding hands!
technorati.com is better than del.ici.ous for sure.
what's neat about technorati too is that there's a rss feed symbol visibly display at the url search bar for me. Blogger.com has this feature also.
I ' m using opera search engine though. i don't know whether internet explorer display rss on thier url or not.

week 9: audio ebooks
spoken ebooks are much less available than ebooks for sjpl.
i browsed through 'psychology' as the subject under audio ebooks for sjpl
customers, and found around ten.
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
is having 2 people ahead of me on the waiting list.
There were no records found for spoken ebook under the subject of psychology
at sjsu though!

week 9: eBooks
i explored www.gutenberg.org and world EBook Fair's site,
couldn't find anything free there.
now for the sjlibrary ebook site, there are those ebooks
that are exclusively available for sjsu students and staff.
but under the subject of psychology, i went into netLibrary, found plenty
one of the ebook from there is
feeling good for no good reason, i logged into my sjpl account and read some.
i guess from there i can email the book or copy & paste the text.
However, under the subject of physiological psychology, there were none in netLibrary
It is for sjsu students and staff only.

week 9: Podcasts
this podcast is from podcasts.yahoo.com
it is about video game consoles discussion
using mp3 files (audio), which can be play on almost all
players on the PC.
i listened to the library mp3 file of Gordon's WorldCat
cataloging. It informs that their website as a useful tool for referencing and researching purposes.
the Sunnyvale Public Library podcasts offer a site feed of their place.
so i thought it would be nice to put it to my blog.
the title of the podcast that i listened to is Library of the Future
so what did i learned or found that's interesting?
a few things: first of all the tech podcasts about game consoles gives me a headache
because there were 3 or 4 people talking nonstop one after another.
it was kinda hard to follow. maybe it's kinda fun for others.
i guess i have to be a fanatic or it's required of me to listened to podcasts
or else i prefer YouTube.com video sharing better.

week 9: YouTube.com
here's a video from YouTube.com that i've chosen.
i thought it was neat because it's something that i don't see everyday:
dog walking on treadmill.
it's an advertisement on dog training.
if i have a dog, i would let it run on the treadmill too. There will be times when i don't
want to run outside.
of course, just like the 23 things web posts said: there are videos that is wasting time if i watch them
but there are other ones that are entertaining as well as informative like
lucy on treadmill.
of course, this video should be noncommercial.
perhaps YouTube.com should extend their video postings to a limited educational, outreach and commercialized video postings. And perhaps, live personnels who could chat to help the community.
Such usage can promote learning and better serve the community in healthy ways.
Let's say that i am a high school student feeling depressed, i can logged into YouTube.com
and search the category of counseling and chat about my situations to the mentors or counselors for YouTube.com
