Orange Peel is a great way to improve from the inside. Constantly having new ideas posted and knowing there is a place available for ideas keeps the library having an alive feeling, instead of feeling stagnant.
Orlando Memory is also a large collaborative work. Much like the crime data base that was started in Brazil (from that 16 min speech from last week), it is something that is too large and cumbersome to gather all the information. It is simply better (and more authentic I might add) to build it from scratch from people who actually live in Orlando. Otherwise, special interest groups, businesses, and all those other people with agendas to push will put a slant on it in order to turn them a profit. This way businesses can add photos, but they are equal shareholders with all the other regular Joe's out there. :)

Opening Documents from Iphone
Awessome! I found the application called "think free." It allows you to most importantly view PDFs on your Iphone anytime you want for free. I've been trying to find a fast (free) way to do this for weeks! Great to know, great to share with patrons who are coming to use our free wireless via their iphones.

I really liked the lecture from Learn 2.0. It's true basically what he's saying. I have noticed a change in my peer group that is so drastic that I can't just chalk it up to us getting older. I rarely watch tv. Me and most of my friends watch shows like House and The Office. Most times, we just watch The Office from the computer! I am never "wasting time" in front of the television, but I have been known to Facebook troll for longer than I would like to document. :) I do love multitasking, something that I feel my generation has grown up thriving on. My mother never got that, never will get it, and still continues to be annoyed by how productive I am. She says I never relax or slow down cus I'm always on the computer or the phone or juggling multiple activities and online conversations. But that's kind of how we unwind...it's just different.
