Moving pictures

Well, a day has passed and it's time to move on to the next week's task (remember, I am playing catch up!) I've been playing with YouTube (and what a time waster that can be - talk about going off on tangents!) Anyway, I've found a scene from one of my top five favourite films, Desk Set. It's a 1957 library classic, starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy and if you haven't seen it, I urge you to! It's also a brilliant early look at an ongoing theme in the library world - can computers replace librarians?
The clip is from the Christmas party section of the movie. The champagne has been flowing freely and Kate and Spence are getting to know each other...

Blogs, feeds and RSS

Well, there's been a little hiatus in my learning journey. I did the RSS task a while ago, but forgot to blog my experience. So, I now have a bloglines account and I've added several feeds to it, mostly on the themes of books and design.
I've also played around with Blogger and realised that you can now add feeds onto your own blog. This is a new feature, I think, and I love it. I'd much rather have one 'base' where I only need to log in once and can see everything I need. Obviously, being a rather shallow and self-absorbed person, I am very happy to regularly visit my own blog and read the feeds there, rather than logging into Bloglines.
