Rollyo
This seemed pretty easy but I kept thinking that the logo looked like some kind of candy I ate when I was a kid. Can't think of the name of the candy but it was making me hungry. Creating the search box was tricky. Stephanie helped me. At first I just did it plain but then I discovered the red option so I did it over. I doubt I will ever replace Google with this but it's cute!

Not the Generator Generation
There is a ton of fun stuff on these image sites. Some of it reminds me of my grandkids toys. They are all flashing lights and cycling timers and visual chaos.

Finding Feeds

I think the Bloglines search is the easiest if you want something like Capcon news. I hit a lot of dead links when I used some of the others. I now have about 17 feeds and one could do nothing else all day but find interesting and off beat things to think about. I was going to do thing 10 today but I am really sick of looking at this stuff. Tomorrow is another day Scarlet!
RSS
It's been awhile since I have been here. Catching up is hard to do. I already had a bloglines account with about 5 library related feeds (most of which I seldom read). Now I added some NPR and Washington Post feeds. I still probably won't read them. I do like librarian in black though. I'll add a few coworkers feeds and some the Readers Club. I scan the Loudoun.gov and LCPL feeds every day.

All in One
I think the new IPhone is great looking. I wish I could afford one. I wish my daughter still worked for the US Telecom Assn! Even though there is a somewhat vague on details environment around it http://news.com.com/A+heavy+load+for+the+iPhone+to+bear/2100-1041_3-6149195.html
This stuff is interesting. Best in show! Not cheap.

The International Digital Publishing Forum, formerly known as the Open eBook Forum, has created a technical standard for the sale and distribution of electronic books. Dubbed the Open eBook Publication Structure Container Format, the standard was created by a team of interested parties, including Adobe, the DAISY Consortium, eBook Technologies, Harlequin, HarperCollins, Amazon’s Mobipocket, netLibrary, OverDrive, Random House, Simon and Schuster, and many others. A significant step forward for the e-book industry, the standard is not without its critics; nevertheless, what the e-book industry still requires is more viable business models and significant buy-in from publishers, some of whom were involved in this long process.
