Wiki-galore, what a bore

Okay so its kind of obvious what I think of Wiki...... After going through Flickr and fd's toys Wiki is quite a disappointing website. It lacks colour and witty subtitles which are things that intrigue and entice me. But Wiki websites aren't all bad, they do what they are there for, and that is to inform and also enable wiki-freaks to correct, change or add information.

The Wiki lesson wasn't all a loss for me, I did enjoy the Wiki that was linked to the Princeton Public Library for Book Lovers. I enjoyed the reviews on this site and also the subject index, but I must say that Library Thing does the exact same thing but with colour!

Technology... where's it taking us?

Hmmmmmmmmm..... what a long way we have come with the types of technology that we use today compared to yesterday, can you imagine what we will be using tomorrow???? It's quite exciting and a little bit frightening.... Films such as Terminator scare people into thinking that it is possible machines can and will take over the human race in the future....

I dont have one particular thing I'm interested in, so I thought I would keep my rantings about movies, films & television. Technology there has expanded possibly the most. I can remember when bluescreen was pretty cool and you couldn't tell, but NOW.... well there's cinematography, photography, all these computerised things which make surreal things look so real!!! Soon maybe it'll be so advance we wont ever really have to live in the real world, we could make a virtual fantasy world that'll keep us happy..... who knows? Only time will tell!!!!

fd's Flickr Toys

Disruptive Art

Okay, so usinig Flickr was quite hard, it took me almost a month to figure out that if I look above the picture that I upload you can find the icon that says.... "blog this" what the heck??? okay well im quite happy that I've finally gotten this pic on to my blog for the world of bloggers to see.... This is the awesome art work that we have on the back of our Library's wall..... awesome dont you think??? The pics of those animated kids on there are actual pictures we took of some of our regulars......

Try out Flickr... but if you get frustrated stop and go back the next day. It quite handy, but I think I'll stick to just uploading straight through the Blog Composition page.
