Ipod cable


I just bought a new Ipod because mine died a year ago when it got a little wet when I took it into the bathroom with me to listen to while I was in the shower. I scrounged up enough money from working at the library full time after I came back from Egypt (If you didn't know who this was before, you'll know now! ). I wanted to listen to it in the car on my way to PA so I borrowed my boyfriend's Ipod cable. The dang thing didn't work in my car though. You have to set your radio to a station that gets complete static or is silent. None of my stations were like that! So when I turned on my Ipod and tried to listen to some songs, it was all staticy! Ugh. I'm going to try and buy one for myself and see if I can program it to work well with my radio.

Mappr on Flickr

As I was oggling on the wonderful features Flickr has to offer, I came across one I was semi-familiar with. Mappr is a third-party site where you can add your photos to a map to show in what part of the world you took your pictures. There is an application on Facebook that let's the user label places on a map to share with others the places you've visited. This is kind of like that except it adds not only a visual of the location you were in on the map but also a picture you took while you were there! How nifty!

First blog!

Dear devoted readers,


I will now take this time to confess my love for the one and only Melvil Dewey. He has been a part of my life now for about 20 years. We have become very close the past 4 years when I began seeing him regularly in Pennsylvania. Now I am in Ohio and spending more and more hours with him on a daily basis. I feel extremely motivated and passionate for helping people when I am around Dewey. I think I might just have a healthy, long lasting relationship with Dewey...
On another note, We are beginning a program titled Learn and Play at CML. I'm very excited to complete the necessary "23 things" and enter to win fabulous prizes! Since I'm 20, I use a lot of these social networking tools; mainly Facebook though. It's so crazy that now I am allowed to use it along with blogger, flickr, twitter and etc. on work time! I really enjoy it so far. I've helped some of the LAs and librarians in my division already set up blogs and Facebook accounts. I'm really learning a lot from helping them and playing along myself. I LOVE working at the library! :)
