Net Library seems to be a good resource for the downloads. To be able to download a book to your own MP3 player for free is a great concept. I also like to idea of being able to find books or manuals after library hours. Especially with a "last minute student" at home.
WorldCat is another story. Working in the ILL Dept. customers are now telling us where to get the books they want. This doesn't always work out because some of the libraries that own the item are not lenders to us or the item does not circulate. We have had to deal with some of these "know it all customers" already.

Thanks to EO I got the list on my blog. I enjoyed seeing what others had in their library and being able to see their reviews of the books. The groups were pretty interesting too. There was group that was going to watch one of the Harry Potter movies at the same time then discuss it on here. That would be fun to do.

We bought Shelby a digital TV for Christmas. First of all, Jeff couldn't believe we were walking out of the store with a TV in one hand the size of a suitcase! Then come to find out with the DVD player built in she can play DVD's and music and she can insert her SD card from her camera and have a digtal photo slide show on her TV. Pretty amazing if you ask me!
Thing #10
I went to the NY Times Technology page. I enjoyed reading the reviews on the digital cameras. I read about the camera I own and the Smart Phones. That's a good name for them because you can do just about anything with them.
Thing #9
I liked Topix it seemed to be the easier of the the three to get around on. It brought me directly to news and topics. Technorati was a bit more confusing. Too technical for me maybe.
I am finding all this very interesting.
