Thing 12-Rollyo

Is a very interesting site. I found a great recipe site that will calculate and post all of the nutritional information on a recipe you input (www.recipezaar.com).

Now you really can know how many calories are in Mema's Sweet Potato Pie or Bubbe's Borscht...but it may be better not to know.

Thing 8-RSS Feed

I love NPR. Now with my RSS feed I can have all of the breaking news and top stories...fast.

Maybe I'll add--OOOOOO-Diane Rheme.

Thing 9-Library Related Blogs

This has been a very interesting looking at the various library blogs. "Alternative Teen Services" seems like it might be interesting, but it doesn't look like very many participate in posting. The comments made on the Ypulse blog were very enlightening, especially the "prostitots" article.

Technology Growing in Family Life

I read "something technology related" on the Pew Internet and American Life website. Very interesting site.

There is this report about the internets growing role in family life. It's really catching up to me. My cousin in Arizona saw the myspace page (made so my teens could talk to me) and got back in touch with me. My 11 year old now has his own blog that he wants me to regularly check.

He has always been communicative, but this is another way of keeping my finger on the "pulse" of his life away from home.
