Challenge 15

Well I downloaded Google Chrome but didn't really care for it. I had a hard time figuring out the set up. I know it's sad but true. I have always used yahoo ,I know someday I will need to move up to something newer ,but for now I am happy with what I'm using. I also have my email through yahoo and it gives me a little notice down in the corner when I get a new email and I love that. I have everything on my yahoo page already set the way I like it. The weather in Bardstown, news from local to National, and of course all the celebrity gossip is right there with one click. I may try Google chrome again but for now I'm sticking with what I've got.

Challenge 13 and 14

Instructables was a good site. I looked up some recipes hoping that I can help improve my culinary skills. HA HA I think I am going to try to make the Rice Crispie Treats that I found on there. If they turn out half way decent I might bring some in. I will defianetly tell patrons about this, it could be very helpful for people wanting to try to do something new.

Hey I wasn't on the staff list. I promise I still work here! I know nobody sees me very often but I am here just back in my office making sure everything gets paid! Can I get added please? Anyway there were alot of neat links on our website. The Senior Resourses link could come in handy because we do have our share of the Senior Citizen patrons, and then of course I love Novelist. It's just not right if you don't read those series books in order.

Challenge 12

I thought the sites were pretty neat. They would be really useful for people who need an idea on how to get motivated to accomplish their goals and help push them along to the end goal. I am really one that keeps my goals to myself, which is probably why not many of them get accomplished. Maybe if I had that extra push from someone else I would be more likely to accomplish them.

Challenge 11 lmao!

I absolutely love those commercials!!!! Especially the one with the granny. Makes you realize no matter how old you are if you keep an open mind and allow change to happen you can enjoy all the new gadgets and phrases just like the younger generation! I have seen some of these like :P and BFF and my kids use snap sometimes. Oh and I heard one I really liked on a TV show last night(Grey's Anatomy maybe) chilax(chill and relax shortened into one word).
I really hope my kids don't start taling like the kids on the commercials because they'll be able to say anything and I won't have a clue what they are talking about. Maybe I should put that site as one of my favorites just in case!!! HA HA

Challenge 10

I had alot of fun with this challenge. I really liked the IMDB search. I liked watching the trailers of the new videos that are coming out. I think I've already seen 3 or 4 different trailers for the new Twilight. It really looks like it's going to be awesome! The I looked up Matthew McConaughey. He's one of my favorite actors but I did not realize some of the movies hes been in the past. He was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 1994 and he was also the first pick to play the lead in Titanic. Kind of glad he didn't do that one actually. Leonardo was great! It just has so much information!
The Allmusic site was good but I think there are way to many different genres and sub-genres. Gets kind of confusing to me.
I believe these sights would be helpful for looking up a movie for a patron but I think I would rather just search for it on Amazon.

Challenge 9

This was the first time I have been to the new Vault Database. It really had a lot of information. I think we could really use the sample resumes for our patrons. You all know how many people we get in that have no idea how to even start a resume and really just want someone(us) to do it for them. You can even search for job openings in different states by the career you would like to be in. I think this would be really good for teens also because it help them decide from the different articles what kind of career would fit them. You know how many kids start College and have no idea what they are going to major in. I really think this was a very good database for the Library to purchase.

Challenge 8

I have been to a few sites that required registering but it has been a really long time since I've had to do this. I can't even remember what the name of the site was. Anyway I did sign up at the time but if there had been bugmenot then I would of defianetly used it. I do not like to put my information out there on too many different places on the internet.
Retailmenot looked like a really good coupon site but personally I'm not a big coupon user. I did try it once upon a time but I hated going through the grocery trying to figure out what I had a coupon for and what I didn't. I will usually just look for the things on sale in the store. If I knew somone who used coupon's I would tell them about this site because it did have a lot of variety of coupons on just about anything you might want to buy.
