Thing #24
Whew! I've finally completed all 23 things! It's taken me a really long time as I am really quite a dunce as far as being computer literate. Paul has been a great help at the library. I've also called on my son and daughter to help me at home where I could spend more time making mistakes (they are computer experts, being teenagers) and my husband (who was at SFU working towards a degree in computer science when he became a firefighter). I also found it hard to make the time to do the research, but when I did, before I knew it I'd been at the computer for a couple of hours. Anyhow, some of the programs I found really interesting and others not so much. But, I feel I have learned enough to follow up using many of the programs offered. I really like what audiobooks and podcasts have to offer and the subscription service is interesting. I'll be researching some of the sites at home when I can put a lot more time into it. Thanks for the opportunity.

I thing the 'delicious' bookmarking tool is quite handy. It certainly is useful for finding related articles. I could spend quite a lot of time researching one item and moving on to other related information.
Thing #22
I tried to add the RSS feeds of both Podcastalley.com and Podcastpickle.com to my Google Reader account but was unable to do so. I searched Podcastalley.com and found it somewhat interesting. However, I'm really interested in downloading some of the CBC podcasts and will most certainly attempt to do so from home.

I've checked out a few of the libraries subscription sites and found Canadian Newstand, Oxford Reference Online and Novelist Plus interesting. I think all three will be useful sites for us at the library. I plan to check out more when I have more time to browse.
