Podcasts

I haven't really used podcasts very often but they are fun. I've never made one before.. maybe in the future:) I added a podcast to my Google Reader page. It was pretty easy to do. I added the Soup. It is an entertainment show and really funny. The host makes fun shows on tv and pop culture. It is on Friday nights on the E network. We didn't used to get it in Canada but now we do. http://entertainment.podcast.com/show/90765/The-Soup-Video-Podcast/

YouTube

So I've been very behind in 23 things. It's been busy at work with teaching and CV updates, etc. So now I can catch up! I love YouTube.. what can I say. I use it a lot. I am embedding the Library Ninja video. I saw this years ago (and others) and they made me laugh. I used to take Karate for a while.. so I was a librarian/ninja myself.. but I've never done this in the library to anyone.. I think I'm usually the one the student's are telling to be quiet here at Vet! lol I tried watching the Librarians do Gaga.. mm... I hate to say it but I was slightly embarassed to be a libraian after that.. sorry people at that Library school. Are you trying to make Librarians look like the ultimate geeks? Well I know I have geek in there.. but there is a limit! lol :) Oh BTW Baby girl is 7 months now!!

Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Prezi, oh my!

Hi,

Well I was away for a week.. it wasn't an exciting holiday but I was able to get rid of a lot of junk out of my place and make room for our baby girl (countdown- less than 3 months now!).
We bought a crib and a few pink items.. lol

So I caught up on Google Docs, Spreadsheets, and Prezi. I've used Google Docs before working on various projects with other librarians and it's very handy. I haven't used spreadsheets very often but find it works really well. Prezi was really fun to play with. I've enjoyed looking at people's Prezi ideas. It's another way to view a presentation instead of PowerPoint. Some of the HS librarians and I were looking how we could use the Prezi app on our IPads.. we will have to experiment with it.

Well it's been quiet the past few days as the rest of the staff are gone to LLDP 4. They are back tomorrow:)

Our little girl...5 months

Too much sugar! lol

Okay, well maybe you can never have too much sugar.. but maybe I did last night. So when I got home, there were flowers and a card on the table from Roberto. He also made me a dessert fruit platter. It was so nice. I didn't get him anything! lol.. but then decided to order him Chinese food. He feels V-day is for girls anyway:)
Getting excited to go on vacation for a week- starting Monday. We aren't going anywhere though.. my whole family is going to Florida to visit Mickey Mouse but my mom thought I wouldn't want to go because I'm pregnant and couldn't go on any rides.. mm.. well I could still escape the -50 weather and chat with Mickey and Minnie.. oh well next time. But it's a good thing. I need to save money for our little girl. Also on my week off, I will be fixing up our spare room and turning it into a nursery:) This will be fun but I'm no Martha Stewart. So if anyone has any suggetions- let me know!!!
Anyway- only a few questions so far about RSS feeds. Let me know if you need help!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy V-day everyone! Last night my husband made me dinner. It was really good! It was chicken with homemade salsa (with mangos). We also had some nice fake wine. He is the best! Spanish guys can cook and are romantic! lol
The day wasn't all good though.. one of our aquatic frogs somehow jumped out of his tank. We couldn't find him for a few hours and when we did, he was gone. They don't last long outside of water. I'm still not sure if my cat found him first and played with him.. hopefully not! Poor Roberto... he thought if he put the frog in water for a while, he would bounce back (dry out!).. mm.. didn't work- but he tried.
Anyway- hope everyone enjoys working with RSS feeds. Let me know if you have any questions!

Jamie:)
PS: I am now 24 weeks and 3 days or 5.5 months along!! Sleeping is already so fun lately! Can't wait until I'm further along. Went to the doctor on Friday and the ultrasound looks great!! :)

RSS feeds

The week I created started on Monday.. Valentine's Day!!!
It is about RSS feeds. I teach RSS feeds to Medical students in Medical Informatics. They save you time and are fun to use. We'll see what people think on Monday!
Have a great weekend! I'm off to the doctor today to get my ultrasound results:)
