Flickr again

I made an account at Flickr and uploaded some photos of my cats, then did a search on library cats- here are a couple of the results. And I think it would be a good idea for Australian libraries to sponsor cats , they are very relaxing to have around. These are from American libraries I think.

Flickr

I found this very lovely photo on Flickr- not about libraries obviously but worthy as an interesting and pleasant image. It was fiddly getting the picture from Flickr to the blog, I had thought it would be much simpler. It wasn't as easy as google pictures.

life long learning

I am all for lifelong learning. I missed out on what is known as "a proper education" the first time around, although I read a great deal and widely. My daughter is 24 and she is complaining about kids on MSN, "we didn't have that in my day"!

This tiny kitty is Ruby when she was a kitten and she was tiny ( she is still small) but she packs a punch- the older fatter bigger cats don't dare steal her food!

Technorati

I didnt like this site- there must be others that I would find interesting- and I will be able to learn how to find them through this course. It does seem like a massive amount of opinion, a way of people expressing their opinions, which is good in a way, as long as you are selective. It would be interesting to see if other people had the same sort of thinking as yourself. Or for information. A lot of it does seem a bit, um, what's the word- well boring, but that's only my opinion..!

This is Sukey yawning. I think it makes a powerful statement about how I felt about the technorati site.

The purpose of blogs

I think blogs are interesting if you know the person, or are interested in a particular subject. Lots of blogs must be frightfully dull. But one man's meat is another man's poison as the saying goes, and where I would find a blog about cats and their antics enthralling , another person might find it so boring they crack their jaw from yawning.

The library I work in has a reference blog and that is a useful and handy way to keep up to date with all the different queries we get. It is short and to the point, pithy, perhaps, which is a good way to go.

This is a photo of my cat Ruby when she was a kitten. I named my blog after her. Plus she does actually live in the Riverina. I think it might be a good name for a port- Riverina Ruby. I do remember seeing a port label from the 1940s that had a picture of a tabby and it was Ruby Red port or something like that.
