The end of the program..

Well the program has come to an end and it's been fun! Even though I was on the development team, I've learned a lot. I also enjoyed working on the team- all the people involved were great!
I now look forward to the parties in May and to give away the big prizes.. they are cool! We are excited to give away an iPad2!

I had an ultrasound last week and our little girl is doing well. She is already over 61/2 pounds! So everyone who thinks I'm small.. she's in there growing! lol Getting very excited to meet her now. Only 5 weeks to go!!!

Online Mapping/GIS

Since I wrote this post.. I have done it several times but found it fun to use Community Walk. I enjoy Indian food or food in general, so I thought I'd do a community walk map based on finding food in Saskatoon!
I think GIS and mapping is very useful and will continue to be in the library.
Well next week is the last post for the program! Wow! It's been a lot of work but fun at the same time. It has also gone by fast as well.
Looking forward to my next week's post and the parties!!
:)
On a personal note- had another ultrasound today. My little girl is already over six pounds and has 6 weeks to go! I think she might be big.. or she will come before June 3rd. June 1st is my b-day.. so maybe.. lol
:) :) Getting excited!

Social Bookmarking & Widgets

I've never really used social bookmarking before but it's very interesting. I will have to add Diigo toolbar to my home computer. I enjoy using widgets- I added the countdown clock to my iGoogle account. I made a countdown to when our baby is arriving! 53 days! Wow!! Coming soon:):) I also played around with Google calendar. I tend to use Outlook calendar for everything but this will be useful for those who can't get access to my calendar if I wanted to share it. Web 2.0 is very social indeed! :)

Social Networking and Twitter

I've been on facebook for a few years now and still use it. I'm not on it all day, like some, but maybe check it once a day to see what my friends/family are doing or if people email me. I use facebook for emailing and to contact friends/family that live in other parts of the world or to re-connect with people I haven't talked to in years. I don't play any games or use farmville. My husband used farmville for a while but then even he got tired of it because you have to check it all the time. I haven't watched the movie "The Social Network" yet, but I've heard it's good. I heard after watching it, you might not want to support Facebook! lol I created a Twitter account a few years ago. I was watching Ellen on tv and everyone was "following" her so I did.. but hardly ever used it. I don't really care or want to know what people are doing every second of the day. Also I don't really want to tell people (or find my life that exciting) what I'm doing every second of the day. I can see if I was in politics or had a following.. maybe but it's not for me. I like having my own space and don't feel the need to share my whole life. Some people love it though and that is great! :)
