Week 5 -- Exercise #11
If I was to look at the short list of Web 2.0 award winner before I completed my tenth exercise, I would have been familiar with only one award winner, craiglist.
Craiglist is simple to use and it always has what I need or want.
Of course, I heard of YouTube and MySpace.
1. Which SJPL staff haven't heard of YouTube and MySpace?
2. Which San Jose teenagers haven't used YouTube and Myspace?
Answers:
1. None
2. None
After lesson #10, my knowledge is expanding!
I learned about other award winners in Blog Guides such as Technorati and Bloglines, in Photo & Digital Images such as Flickr, and in Social Tagging such as Del.ico.us.
Watch out, teenager... Mom is catching up with aching hands and tiring eyes.
Once the 23 Things are done, I want more computer time at home!!!

Week 4 -- Exercise #9
I believe that is is possible that I can work through these exercises using weekly tips from the Virtual Services Team. Just like everything I do in my life, I don't mind hard work. In addition, I have a strong will and determination to successfully complete tasks.
When there is a chance to work with another person, I don't hesitate to join since I find that working in a team is fun and productive. Furthermore, any task will be complete in shorter time.
There are times when a teenager does know more than her mother. It is a blessing to see that a teenager will have opportunities to go further than her mother can ever dream of doing.
RSS-an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and Rich Site Summary.
I found some useful information at this website http://www.rss-specifications.com
Feedster.com
It allows the search by date and relevance. However, the results from searches didn't seem relevant.
Topix.net
Local news for the world. Typing a country, and you get most recent news or just look at the News Front Page.
Syndic8.com
First third page of results had 2003 date. It was a bit outdated. It also had XML which Rafe Niddleman of CNET described as paid subscription, but can feed through other sources.
Technorati.com
The set up for Top searches, Popular and Top Tags are nice, but the standard search resulted in book collection, BMW, and a description of a Sping Break Diary puzzled me.
Standard feed icon is a standard orange icon. I won't forget the color.

Week 4 -- Exercises #8
Having a teenager in the house is a real pleasure!
Wow, a walking technology encyclopedia is at my disposal. Oops, A walking encyclopedia with "roaming time to assist." A roaming time may be revoke at any time for any reason. It's almost like that commercial that describes airtime as whenever to buyer and when never to the company.
My dear, thanks for following through with your commitment.

Week 3 -- Exercise #7
Late night is the best time for me to play with new technology. Well, it is also the time that my teenager is available to work with me. Weeknights were off limits to me due to her school works and multi-tasking with various emails, instant messages, musics, etc...
Do you know any teenager who do not multi-tasking?
On the subject of technology, I do keep up with technology for career much more than I allow time for my personal usage. I know that I can always count on my teenager to keep me up to date. Our family members as well as many other families have gone through many cell phones and digital cameras. However, I innocently ask my teenager from time to time about which button on the cell phone to use, and that makes her laugh so hard, and I am not saying that she laughs "hysterically."
_____
Hey Mom, everyone can read this! Yes, I am one of the busiest people EVER. My life story includes. Track practice everyday from 315- 530. Track meets are ALWAYS on Saturdays, and since I am one of the best Throwers, I always go to the meets, even Invites. I am President of SADD at my school, so Fridays, inbetween the time we get out at 125 to practice, which starts at 330, I have my SADD Junior High Outreaches, when we go to middle schools to have presentations. I am Community Relations of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), I am a Retreat Leader, Eucharistic Minister, GSL Leader, in the Math Honor Society, National Honor Society Member, and CSF Tutor. AND I have a life. Can you understand why I don't have time?
Like we both said, this is really the only time we get quality mother-daughter time. This doesn't include shopping excursions [=
And too bad I get my laugh from Mom!

Week 3 -- Exercise #6
Flickr is fun and not so difficult to create. Having a teenager to help is the way to go. You'll have fun with the exercises and get to spend time with your loved one.

Mom is so cute, she is SOOO clueless about half the stuff this project is about. And me, being the oh so technologicaly saavy person, has to help her! It really makes me laugh, even if I have so much stuff to do and have to rearrange my schedule just to add some Mom time in this! Haha, Mom-bonding much?
my best friend! i mean, one of five of my best friends.

It took time to prepare myself to write reflection to potential readers. I am not at all worrying about learning new things, but more concerned about writing down feelings, etc...
Teenagers seem to be very comfortable sharing feeling so I recruited my teenager to spend time with me on 23 things. It will be a mother/daughter bonding time and our journey will be so magnificient.
We have a short time to spend together before she is going away to college next year.
Flickr is simple according to a teenager. Flickr is manageable according to her mother.

"Learning 2.0 is online learning program that encourages you to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, libraries and society access information and communicate with each other." I took that from the blogger account that told us what the goal was for this program. Why does it seems so simple? I guess Mom just wants to understand "the modern world" so to say. Or maybe, she just wants to understand me and all my weird lingo. Haha, and why I go online so much? Seeing the overview of this project makes me laugh, I bet Mom has a hidden motive under working this project out with her. 0.o? I think it's gonna be worth it, at least I get some quality time with Mom, especially since I'M GOING TO COLLEGE NEXT YEARRRR! I so can't wait!
And yeah, so Mom chose the randomest colors. I mean, I didn't even know she LIKED pink! I told her that for my own blogger and myspace, I use my awesome skills to find layouts that are already made. But when I showed her them, she really didn't like them. It would have been so much easier though. There are always ways to adjust/tweek the layout so theyre more "original", trust me, i have done that so many times. Ah, well, you can't always win. I like my %
