I'm not sure if waiting so long to do my last blog post had more to do with the insane amount of work I've had to do this week, or the fact that I knew this would be my last post... Hard to say... sniff, I'll have to think on it. That being said I have really enjoyed the course and want to thank Amanda and all of you for your excellent comments all semester, I found myself looking forward to checking my replies every week.

Wow !

What a fast semester ! Time seemed to fly by... well most of the time it did anyways, not so much the times where I had a million assignments to do, or the days when it was 50 degrees out with the humidity, or even the days it was really rainy... those days were kind of slow. The other days though, they went quite quickly.

Well it's that time of the semester when I regret leaving my assignments to the end... Consequently I also regret blowing through my holidays. With that being said I was still quite happy reading the articles this week as I found them both interesting and informative. I have very limited experience with flicker and have never posted on youtube although I do enjoy watching videos for information and enjoyment.

The gaming blog at AADL.

I'm getting tired of hearing about Ann Arbor and all their hip library initiatives. We get it, you guys are super cool and cutting edge. With that being said I liked the look of the gaming blog, and found myself reading a few of the articles with marked interest. I'm tired of not having any venues to show off my Wii tennis skills around here.

FindIt!

Well I'm back from my holiday, and am ready to rock social software. I was pleased to see the topic for my first week back was social networks. This is an area where I have particularly strong feelings. In this case my feeling are overwhelmingly negative believe it or not. I think there is a marked difference between this kind of software and other social softwares we have seen in the course. Primarily my issue extends from the fact that social networking sites are privately owned for profit enterprises in general, and more specifically they seem to violate privacy issues with gusto.

Why Internal is a Very Good Question… 

 Sadly I was unable to "find myself" during my first holiday, as such I have decided to check a few more places during a second week of holidays.
