Digg it! - Thing 15

My first thought going into this site is that it was going to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Yes, there was evidence of that with top stories such as "Top Products for Smuggling Alcohol into Venues." There was a lot of stuff like that, but there was so much more. It would be a good place to go to keep up on technology and business news. I think the links I have on my Google Reader probably do just as good a job as keeping me up on library news so I'm not sure I'd use it for that.

For someone into pop culture this would be a great place to hang out and get lost for hours in. The "Odd News" section is entertaining to look at. I also added their comics page to my Delicious file. Fun, but not sure how much I'd use it for work. I'm afraid I'd get side-tracked too easily.

Smart, but feeling dumb - Thing 4

Okay, what am I missing? I have been futzing around for 2 hours trying to figure out how to spell with Flickr. Could it be something that my home computer is blocking (or is it just my brain)? Help! Here is the closest I got before giving up. I wanted to spell out "Smart, but feeling dumb," but now I just want to spell "DUMB" (I am referring to me, not the assignment). I've got to move on. I was hoping to get caught up on all my "things" today in anticipation of the others coming tomorrow. I did find Color Pickr and that was really cool. I played around with the world map and found Texas images. Wow, some people take really good pictures and/or are very good at editing their pics. I wanted to try out the captioner and even had a picture I wanted to use picked out, but couldn't figure out how to do it. Here's the picture. I was going to caption it with something like "What did I do to deserve this?!" Maybe I'll try to come back to this as I get caught up on my other "things."
