Wonderful World of Wiki

OK, I confess. I didn't think the wiki world was so wonderful. I linked to most of the recommended sites and found them to be very confusing. I felt like the home pages were cluttered even messy looking. On one site, and don't ask me which one cause I can't remember, some information was on top of other information which made it impossible to read.

I like the idea of the wiki. Free and equitable access to information and a way to share your personal expertise. I would just like to see it look different. The look of most sites made me lose interest and simply want to move on. The sites weren't inviting. I think I've beat that horse sufficiently...

Book of the Post:

Introducing a new feature. When I post to this blog I'll try to include information about a book I'm enjoying. I'm listening to the The Tin Roof Blowdown in the Dave Robicheaux series by James Lee Burke. This is an awesome series set in Lousiana. Dave Robicheaux is a former NOPD cop who has battled demons aplenty but who is good at the core. He's a dark hero. This book is set right before, during, and after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. It's a gripping story of greed, murder, hopelessness, goodness. The narrrator is awesome. Check this series out.

Notes from Nana

I'm blogging today from work....
It's ok to tell my boss and co-workers because it's actually a work assignment. I am employed at the Briargate Branch Library which is in the Pikes Peak Library District in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Technology is quickly transforming the way that libraries function. It's not your Mother's library as the saying goes. Our management team is encouraging all employees to get more familiar with all that technology has to offer so we can better relate to and understand our patrons. Cool! Plus, I get a chance to win a great prize.

Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this. You'll all want to come work here at PPLD. Just in case you're intested, here's a link to our website.
