No More Things

Well, I've got my prize for completing More Things on a Stick. So, what to do with this blog now? I'm thinking abot repurposing it to be a place where I can comment of the library world. But then, this is public and I'm not always , um, nice enough to publicly share all my thoughts. Still I suppose I vet my thoughts before sharing.

23 Things

If you (Gail) want to work on 23 things, here's the link: http://23thingsonastick.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-are-23-things-on-stick.html

Thing 47

The End: Well, it was a lot of fun. At the very least, I feel a lot more familiar with a lot of cool stuff out there on the web. I must say I enjoyed more things quite a bit more than 23 Things. I would totally do something like this again!

Thanks!

Thing 46

WebJunction: I've seen a few webinars from webjunction, and I've had a few folks say nice things about the classes. I think the classes and webinars are the best bits. The classes are a great way to enhance your knowledge without an outlay of cash.

I'd love a section for staff from specific Minnesota libraries so I could see all my rochester hommies.

Thing 45

The Cloud: I dig the whole concept of the cloud. Accessing thing via the web instead of having them stored on you PC. It sounds great. Your machine would be dedicated to running the stuff instead of storing. Plus, I think cloud gaming will be major league kick ass. Now, it feels a little clunky. I'm thinking of the stuff on Facebook and web based games, not MMORPGs think WoW, whcih relied completely on stuff installed on your machine. I'm all about the cloud. The convienence, less reliance on your machine. It all sounds good to me.

I've been using google docs for years. I love it. I love have access to my stuff anywhere.

You put cloud computering and mobiloe devices together: Bomb. A 40 mageton awesome bomb.

I'm ready to make the jump to the cloud. Punch it Chewie!

Thing 44

Money: I really liked the explanations of compound interest and the economic crisis. I also was both frightened and impressed with Mint.com. You just plug in your bank's names and it just know stuff. Wicked, wild and weird. I dug it though. Feed the Pig was annoying, but interest. I liked the coupn sites. I have used coupon sites from time to time.

I buy and seel stuff on eBay. I guess I'm old school like that. All the kids are doing the Craigs list thing. I remember when you could get everything on eBay. Not so much anymore.

I think my overall favorite thing in this thing was mint.com

Thing 43

Internet TV: I loves me some hulu. I'm so happy there's so much content available online now. A few years ago, a dirth (of legal sources), now everybody has stuff up so you can catch. Which is a godsent for shows like Lost.

It's sad that the BBC won't let us yankees watch their TV online. I'm guess that'll happen eventually.

I've had Netflix for years and year. I wish my Tivos were new enough to use the Netflix feature. Alas, I have 2 series 2 tivos, and you gotta have series 3 tivos for the Amazon, and Netflix stuff to work. Eventually, I'll upgrade, just not in the next few motnths. Probably when I make the jump to Blu Ray.

Thing 42

Internet Radio: I gotta say I totally dig internet radio. The customization, the wealth of variety, the commerical free-ness. All totally, totally awesome. I've used a lot of internet radio stuff before. I'm back on Pandora now. I also love that the current streams online and that you can look at the paylists. That's liquid coolness:
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/playlist/playlist.php

So, yeah, I must say More Things has reintroduced me to something I previously loved, but somehow Internet radio fell out of my life. I'm just glad it's back.

Thing 41

Friendfeed: As much as I love both Twitter and Facebook, whenyou have something like Friendfeed that mashes them together, I'm just not that into it. I'm the kind of guy that eats my burger, then my fries. I like my boundaries I guess.

I'll keep it up for a few weeks to see if it grows on me. Somethings do, somethings like iGoogle, don't.

Thing 40

Mash ups: Okay, I've been listening to Pandora for all of 15 seconds, and I love it! I have, of course, heard of Pandora before, but I hadn't checked it out until right now. Weird huh? How something that's totally up my alley escaped me for so long. So yeah, the first mash-up with the whole lastdotcom and pandora thing? Yeah, that rocks. It rocks like granite.

The author signing thing didn't work to well, as none of the author's I want to meet are currently tour. But I tried it. Neat idea. Same with the the than 200 pages thing for amazon.

The lunchbox thing would have been really useful when I was in NYC. Well, it might have been handy. It's hard to say. If you're in your office and think, "hey, where should I eat?", awesome. If you're on the street walking around; maybe not so much.

Interestingness was, well, interesting. Lot's of picture people in the world taking lots of pictures. Good for you picture people. Good. For. You.

Time tube is pretty cool. I, of course, had to search Doctor Who. I liked the lay out and it gave you quite a few videos.

The crime report thing didn't work too well for me. Oh well. Maybe I just live in a really safe neighborhood.

Let me google that for you was pretty awesome.

I've used travelr and bubblr and I still have my mash up of places I've lived on my blog.

There are tons of used for mashups. It sounds like the way things are going mash-ups will be sort of the norm in the not too distant future of cloud computing. I'll be looking forward to it. While I wouldn't say I've fully embraced mashups (as I haven't created much of anything), I'll be down with the whole thing. The not having to know any programming to crate new aps is mighty cool.

I checked out yahoo pipes as well. While I didn't make any pipes, I did give it a good sniff round and I think I might be able to use it to create some cool stuff. That is, if it isn't already done. I was going to use it to map crimes in Rochetser. Guess what? Already done here: http://www.rochestercrime.org/

Thing 39

Digital Scrapebooking: So guess what I'm going to say about this one? I don'ttake a lot of pictures, and scrape booking ranks right up there with underwater basket weaving as far as things I'd like to spend my time on. So, yeah, not a big fan of the digital scrapebook. But I'd be 10 times more likely to scrapebook online. And I thought Smile Box was very easy to use. A lot of people would really like this I think. Maybe my mom.

I'll post my scrape book later, It's on a different machine.

Scrapeblog posted above. I had to switch to scrapeblog after Smilebox refused to post my digital scrapebook. Bastards!

Trekkie

Yep, I'm a Trekkie Here's an article from the paper to prove it: http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=2&a=398322
(as if further proof were necessary).

Thing 38

Screencasting: Okay here's my screencast: Or least it would be if It did error every time I tried to post it. So, it's off to the right now.

No audio, I know, but I don't have a mic. I downloaded and used Jing. Mainly because the non-downloady ones didn't like my java. So, yeah, it's all about how to waste scads of time at work. It was quite easy to use, and I can see it being very helpful in creating training material.

Thing 37

Photo Stuff. Again, I'm not a real big picture person, but the tools are easy to use. Here's the video I created with Animoto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbk3lGiqYRY . I used roflbot to create this:

Indy and Hellboy. You can't tell me that wouldn't be awesome!

I used the mosaicr thing to create this:

Which isn't a stellar likeness, but it certainly gets the job done.

There's a new Gen Con Slide show over on the right, that I used FlickrSlidr to create.

I used Bubblr to create some captions on some of my Gen Con pics, but then I couldn't save them or anything. It's entirely possible it's my fault and not bubblr's I might come back to it later. The caption I created weren't particularly hilarious or anything, so if they are lost, it's not a big deal.

I've used Picnik in the past. I just did a quick crop and red eye reduction on this:

I found this on flickrcc:

Which is cool. It was taken at Gen Con, which fits the theme of almost all of my other pictures.

Mostly, with the exception of bubblr, the photo sites were easy to use and fun. If I were more of a picture person, I'd totally use this stuff. As I've stated many times though, I'm not really one for the pictures. I was in NYC a few weeks ago, and I managed to take one picture. At the airport.

Thing 36

Hey, I got an actual legit comment on my blog! I said something that caused someone to feel strongly enough to comment about my opinions! I feel like I've won some sort of blog-Oscar. I'm not talking about a shout out from a coworker or friend, nor am I talking about some inebriate who stumbled on to my blog and typed random stuff. I got a comment that was thought out and made a great point. Thanks Bill! You make me feel like blogging.

Content Generators: Password/E-mail Icon generators seem a bit odd to me. I guess I like to generate my own passwords and e-mail icons. especially passwords. I have a terrible memory for stuff like that, so I need my passwords to make some small measure of sense to me.

I tried the BGpattern genrator, and I like it in principle, but I find the actual created backgrouds sort of samey. Still, better than I could do on my own. I also tried the image generator, which is good fun.

The free image converter could be very helpful. I hope I remember it next time I need to convert a picture.

Wufoo also looks helpful and fun. I'm going to use it to create an online incident report! Which isn't fun, but needs doing.

Where were citation generators when i was in school? These rock! Again I hope I remember them when I go back to school.

The graph and chart creators are also very cool, and once again, I hope I remember them when i need them. I'm getting pretty good at creating charts and graphs with Excel, so I might not need this, but you never know.

Tag Clouds are nice and all. The one I've already got going on suits my needs just fine. Which brings me to the crux of my point with this thing I believe. When I need something like the tool in this thing, knowing the tool exists would be seriously awesome. Alas, I fear I won't remember the tool when I need it. Plus there are ways of doing this stuff that I can already use. For now on I will use this easy to remember acronym for that point: WINSLtTiTT,KtTEWbSA.AIFIWRtTWINI.PTAWoDTSTICAU

Time Toast: WINSLtTiTT,KtTEWbSA.AIFIWRtTWINI.PTAWoDTSTICAU

Simply Noise: Umm, it generates noise. How is that cool?

Random Web 2.0 name generator: It's funny. Name generators usually are.

Label Makers: WINSLtTiTT,KtTEWbSA.AIFIWRtTWINI.PTAWoDTSTICAU

Some of the stuff in the 'Other' catagory baffles me a bit, but whatevs, to each his or her own.

Here's the comic strip I created: http://stripgenerator.com/strip/230156/



I tried the text to movie thing a few times, and It's just not working for me. If I remember, I'm try it at home some time.



Lolcatz are always funny. I just watched the Big Bang theory episode with the Lolcatz shout out. Well, technically, I just watch all of Big Bang Theory. Good show. Here's a picture:

As far as useful goes, generators are fun, but I'm not exactly sure if they are useful. I guess I can create comic strips explianing things to people. That's some what useful. Mostly though, I'm thinking fun. Which is not a bad thing.

Thing 35

Book 2.0: I love using Librarything. Librarything might be my favorite thing for the 1st 23 things. For this thing I decided to try lib.rario.us. It's pretty cool. Seems to be pretty much the same thing as Librarything. I suppose, if i was so included, I could keep track of my DVD collection here. I am ultra nerdy and i keep track of what I've watched and when I watched it last. I could totally use lib.rario.us for that instead of little slips of paper tucked instead all of my DVDs.

I checked out Books in My Phone, but I couldn't get it to work right. I'm sure with a little more fiddling I get it. It'll just take some time.

I tried Read Trails, and it's an interesting concept. I'm not sure I really get it. It's not so much about listing books in a series as it is listing books that have a vague correlation or books with similar themes. I added one, I don't know that I will become a frequent user, but you never know.

I checked out Overbooked, and it seemed pretty cool. I got a lot of Douglas Adamsque recommendation that I hadn't gotten before.

I took a look at Book Sprouts. Online book groups could be cool. I'm generally afraid of book groups because I don't think enough of the people in them will share my tastes enough for books I will enjoy to be selected as reading materials. Plus I find people take book groups too seriously. But an online might have a totally different vibe.

Podiobooks is also interesting. I started listening to "down and Out in the Magic Kingdom", and it seemed pretty cool. I like that the site has stuff you're not going to find anywhere else.

Swaptree is an interesting idea. I might become a user of this site. Though I'd prefer a place to find people who were interested in buying stuff I want to get rid of. Still trading is cool.

BookBrowse also seems pretty cool. There's a lot of neat stuff out there. It's just a matter of being able to keep it all straight. When I want a recommendation for a good book, I have like 9,000,000,000 options for where to go. Plus there are the piles of books I have at home that I've yet to read, and all the books that look cool as I see them getting checked out to other people. It's almost overwhelming.

Just One More Book would be cool if i had any interest in kids books. I don't, but if someone did this would be a cool thing to check out.

Booksfree is netflix for books. But it's not free. Which is somewhat miss leading.

I've tried a few of Facebook's book aps. And I like them, just not as much as I like Librarything. Which reminds me, I need to shell out a little green if I want to keep using librarything.

Honestly, I think books are going to be around for quite a while yet. There's still money to be made. When there isn't any cash involved anymore, then you'll see an exodus away from them. The library is as busy as it's ever been and our numbers keep going up. I think this points to people needing/wanting one of our core services: Books! Many of the sites I visited enhanced book reading, but didn't really make me think books are going out of style.

Thing 34

Answer Sites: I think answer sites are fun. Some of the stupid questions people ask are hilarious, plus some of the answers can be hysterical too. And I think that's the appeal. A lot of the questions people are asking aren't factual. It's somebody wanting an opinion on their hair, or wanting relationship advice. there were some questions that had real answers, but those questions were in the minority. Also, people were using the question site as a jumping off point for discussions, or to validate a thought. I didn't see a whole lot of stuff that belonged at the reference desk. I don't like people are using these site as primary definitive answers. It's just a fun way to get some quick info.

I looked at Yahoo Answers and Askville. They were booth similar and both had the comedy of silly questions and laughable answers.

the Slam the Boards thing seems to run counter the the purpose of the sites to me. the site themselves seem light and fun, the slam the boards thing seems like a way of saying "In Your Face! Our Library-Fu Defeats you Google-Jitsu!" Which is sort of silly. Besides, what sort of primary source do you use for the question "OMG, should i cut my hair short?"?

I answered a video game question at Yahoo Answer. It seemed fine. I didn't feel the urge to wash my hands afterwards anyway.

So, yeah, the one thing I think this raises for me is that these answer site are fun. Are libraries fun? When was the last time you got a fun reference question that made you smile? Do patrons think of libraries as a fun place?

Thing 33

Travel 2.0: I'm going to NYC in a few weeks, so I'm pretty psyched about this thing. The blogs and podcats are only marginally interesting to me, the review site I find some what helpful, but the're just so much bitching. It's almost hard to know if you're really gonig to get a great place. At the same time you do get a good indication by the number of positive and negative reviews, which is helpful. I dug Vcarious, seems like a fun idea, but again teh overwhelming number of posts makes getting a really useful review of something from some one with tastes analgous to my own is tough. But I guess that's true of pretty much every review site for pretty much every thing. I checked out a few of the mash ups. I like the mash up way of just having the info right there on teh map. It feel more halpful and in prevents the overwhelm sea of reviews.

Thing 32

Google Maps, Mash-ups: I've used goggle maps fairly extensively. It's pretty cool. I made maps and done driving directions. I've used yahoo maps, mapquest, and the like and I think they are very cool. It makes getting to places so much easier. I'm headed to NYC in a few weeks and google maps is going to be a great way to get places I wanna go.

Mash ups are pretty kick ass. I like the bringing together of information for oodles of sources.

So far this is my favorite mash-up: http://beermapping.com/brewery-maps/

Thing 31

More Twitter: I'm digging Twitter. I'm still a n00b but I'm getting there. I think right now my Twitter page says: "Hey I'm new at this, here's what's on my mind." I don't have a fancy theme, or anything like that. It might because I look at my tweets mostly through iGoogle, so I'm not so concerned about my actual twitter page. Mostly I use twitter to tweet my beers at Mystery Beer Night. I must say I use facebook as my twitter for the most part. I have a few friends I'm following and few friends are following me. I guess my twitter page says "I'm a drunk". Which is fine and not entirely untrue.

I'd say twitter fits into my social network stratedgy by allow me to follow my friends in another way. Mostly I use online tools like twitter and facebook to keep up with my friends. I don't do much business through Facebook or twitter, but I'm not so obnoxious that if work contacts found me that wouldn't be totally turned off by my remarks. I'm just being me.

So for me twitter is just another interesting way to see what Russ is doing.

Thing 30

More RSS and Delicious. I must say I'm really not that down with RSS. I try and I try, but I just can't get into it. I've tried bloglines and Google reader and I want to like them, but for some reason, I can't. Prehaps it's because I don't get a chance to look at many websites regularly anymore. The moments I got to do that have been stolen away by Facebook. I think I said much the same in my 23 Things post. Other folks I know love RSS though. I guess it's just one of those things. I'm going to give it another go though, just to say I did.

As far as other Delicious features go I guess searching other folks bookmarks would be my favorite feature. The inbox stuff didn't seem that cool to me, but I did add a tag cloud to my blog, for what it's worth. I dig Delicious, I really do, but as a spot where I can access my bookmarks. I guess I driven to discovery by need. As soon as I need something else from Delicious I'll discover it. I guess I like tag bundles too.

So, I don't view my RSS regularly, I don't really have any suggestion for using RSS stuff or Delicious beyond explore. With everything I done with 23 Things or More Things, I can say if something piqued my fancy, I'd spend some time with it, I'd really see what it could do. And if something didn't, well there's always the next thing.

Thing 29

Google News. I fully admit I'm not as up on the News as I should be. I avoid it. Mostly, it just makes me angry and I don't want to be angry all the time. I wouldn't say I stick my head in the sand and ignore the world, but I don't like the feeling that I'm being force feed certain things that are obviously blown up of proportion. Perhaps Google News will allow me to filter out the junk I don't care to here about. I like the personalized news stuff. Google stuff feels so over-lappy. I feel I can do most of the stuff from Google News in iGoogle. I guess it's all about what flavor you like your google.

GMail. I've used gmail for quit a while. It's my friends only e-mail. I probably like it the best of all the web based email stuff. I still keep my yahoo account but that's the address I give out to anybody. I don't get much spam on my gmail and it is really nice to not have to worry about deleting anything. There are some pretty cool features in the Labs. I added some bits and bobs. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to Sync my work calendar to gmail, but you what? I don't need to have my work calendar everywhere. I changed my theme, which is a feature I'm a little bored with. Everything seems to have the same tired themes. If you can't give me a truly kick ass theme, if all I'm really doing in changing the colors, just forget about it.

Thing 28

iGoogle. I went with iGoogle. Mostly because I already use loads of google stuff like google docs, gmail and so forth. It's kind of cool. I'm going to have to try to fully utilize it, which might take me a bit.

It was really easy to set up. I found a Doctor Who theme I liked and a bunch of gadgets, like a twitter one and a Facebook one and I added all of those. I also added a clock and something that tells me movie times in my area, so that's pretty kick ass.

I really dig the movie gadget. It's actually quite helpful. Hopefully I'll used it this weekend to avoid showing up at the wrong theater like I did 2 weeks ago.

Thing 27

Twitter: I've been using twitter for a while now. Mostly I use it to tweet my Mystery Beers on Monday night so the folks at home can play along. I like tweeting it's pretty fun. I do tend to use Facebook as a tweeting place than I use Twitter.

I use the above sweet pic of my tat as my avatar on twitter along with the handle andystehr (clever huh?), so if you wanna follow my tweets, please yourself.

I'm not sure about the library usage of Twitter. I guess you could tweet good books to folks. Not the best place to answer reference questions, but it's hip it's fun, why not go for it?

Thing 26

Ning. I signed up for the Ning when I was doing 23 Things (I was a round 3 participant [and yeah I know there wasn't a round 3]).

The uploaded a few pictures and I created a new group. You can check that out here: http://23thingsonastick.ning.com/group/rochesterpubliclibraryinthehouse

I Ning could be pretty cool depending on the focus of your social network. It's really all about which flavor of Web 2.0 you prefer.

I also set up my own Ning social network which I'd be happy to invite you to, if you'd like to check it out. It's mostly blank.

Thing 25

Widgets and Such. I didn't mind the widgets so much. I liked some, I disliked others. I put all sorts of them on my blog, then I took down the ones I didn't really like. There are just so very many. And some are useful. Well, depending on what type of blog you're doing. I loved the idea of talking about specific topic and embedding a browser in your post with wikipedia right there for people to explore additional information about your topic. I'd totally do that if my blog was one of those 'useful' blogs. But it's not, so I'll stick with Sudoku and kitties.

Most of the gadgets were easy to get on my blog. I tried the tag cloud, but it was a little too much for me. Luckily I had backed up my blog before I tried to do this one. I did break my blog for a while, but then I fixed it. I don't think I'm going to be fiddling with the HTML in my template again any time soon.

I spent probably about an hour and a half to two hours on this thing. Mainly because I was helping other folk with 23 Things at the same time. Uninterupted, it probably would have taken 45 minutes to an hour.

Conan the Librarian

For John.

Thing #24

Update. As I just finished 23 Things, I don't have a lot of updating to do. I've already updated my avatar a few times. I was thinking of doing some stuff to it again, but I like it as it is. My profile is fairly complete. Just so you know I didn't completely punk out I did change my profile picture.

It's been like a week or something since my last post, so I think I recall what I've blogging about. What I like about blogging is getting my ideas out there is the world. People don't have to read my thoughts, but they're there is they want them. I, on occassion, consider my self a writer and I've been told I can turn a phrase, so I think to think if someone were to stumble upon my humble little blog they my earn themselves a chuckle or two.

I have found a few other blogs to read. I'm helping a few folks with 23 Things, so I read their blogs on occassion. Also I started reading a few blogs that I heard were funny. I do comment other people's blogs. It's not something I make a huge habit of, but I do it. I lurk in a few forums here and there too. I come out of my shell and ask a stupid question from time to time. My interest in blogs is directly related to my interests. I like movie blogs, and Sci-Fi blogs, book blogs and pop culture blogs, so I'm not really blogging for business purposes.

So that's thing #24 for #23

Thing #23

My thoughts. My opinions on Web 2.0 stuff hasn't changed. I still think is a over-hyped and I still think people will come to information. I guess the only thing I softened on is I think is important to have many access points to information and library services. I've actually always felt that way, I just came off as anti-access-points previously.

May favorite things are: LibraryThing, Google Docs and Gcast. Gcast was the only one of those things I found out about through 23 things. I've bit a much more avid Librarythinger thanks to 23 Things. I'll have to upgrade my account soon.

I've started scheduling tutoring sessions for other folks who want to do 23 Things or more things at the library. I must say, helping others really motivated me to finish 23 Things myself. I owe John a debt of gratitude. It also made the things more fun.

The content is pretty good. The only issue I have the amount and how many of the things I'm going to remember say next year. That's on me though.

I'm already signed up for more things!

I'd describe my 23 Things experience as: Fun. In the end it was pretty cool to take a look at the Web 2.0 stuff out there. I feel less curmudgeonly.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep up with my blog. I spent too much time on it to stop now!

Thing #22

Thing 22. I'm going to do the More Things thing that just started. That's how I plan to keep up on my Web 2.0 savvy. I think I'm going to keep doing Mystery Beer Night Podcast too. Those are fun.



A way I'd recommend to keep up your savvy is to help other people learn stuff. I've been helping a friend, John, learn 23 Things. It's a lot more fun to help someone else than it is to do the things on your own. Also, I'm starting 23 Things tutoring. I find people use the things differently, so the more people I help learn the things, the more ways the use the Things I learn.



I had fun with this. I'll almost definitely keep up my blog. I find it to be amusing at the very least. Here's a not so good picture of me waving bye, or more precisely adieu. Until More Things, I'll see you then. Well, then and Thing 23

Thing 21

Other Social Networks. I started a Gather Account. I posted to the Doctor Who fan section of Gather, and I was not exactly impressed with Gather. Just another social network. I did the Ning thing too. I might be able to use that to run a Call of Cthulhu game with my pals. I think a play by Wiki will work out better. I'd probably use PB wiki for that. I joined the 23 Things Ning. Ning seems like it might be a little more useful to me than other things. It also sort of got lost in the shuffle. I couldn't remember if it was Gather or Ning or 43 Things that was the social network creation site. I also joined 43 things. That could also be useful. One of these days I'm going to write a novel. 43 Things might help me accomplish that.

I added a Ning badge to me wiki and I added another slide show with Ning. John keeps saying that 23 Things is, like, 3 things over and over again. The Ning slide show was totally that.

I am a member of a couple different online communities. Outpost Gallifrey, World of Warcraft, and Facebook and MySpace. So I'm not a stranger to this stuff.

Oh, I added a kick ass picture of Ultra Magnus for pretty much no reason.

I'm going to try 43 things for a bit. I might even check out a few others. Also, Ning might facilitate some online socializing of my own.

Thing #20

Facebook and MySpace. I've had both a Facebook and MySpace page for years. I started off with MySpace. It looked like a great way to keep in touch with all my hommies from college. Alas, I found that my network of hommies grew too large and unwieldy on MySpace. And then I started getting spam, and that ended my love of MySpace.

Then one of my Hommies got a Facebook account. He loved it and told me and some of our other hommies. I much prefer Facebook over MySpace. I find my network isn't so unwieldy and also, no spam. It's really easy to keep up with my friends, and I find it to be fun. I don't mind checking Facebook a few times a week. For some reason MySpace felt like a chore.

As far as layout is concerned, I don't have any sort of preference for one over the other. Managing my peeps is what my #1 concern is with the whole social networking thing. I don't want to get invites from bands in my area, I don't want to find out when Lyndsey Lohan is dropping her next album. I just want to keep up with my hommies and perhaps put up some amusing photos from time to time. That's about it.

This is my attempt at a mobile blog post. Let's see if it works.
