Thing #10 Online Image Generators

This is definitely the best fun so far- it all feels so not work related - but I know that it is helping me to learn to manipulate content from the internet and design new creations of my own.

The movie theatre marquee image is available at http://www.redkid.net/generator/marquee and the Confucius image is from http://confucius-says-it.txt2jpg.com/

Things #8&9 - RSS and Newsfeeds

Bloglines
I set up my Bloglines account (very easy) and added some feeds available for selection such as literature, gardening and fashion of course - and then went on to subscribe to some ABC Radio National podcasts inlcuding Life Matters, so that I can later download the content to an MP3 player. To keep up to date with what my ATOLearning colleagues are doing, I included a few of their blogs as well in my Bloglines account.

Library related feeds
I tried out Feedster, Syndic8, Technorati and Topix.net to search for RSS feeds and while they where OK, I found the search function on Bloglines was returning more relevant sources and it made it easiest to subscribe to feeds directly from one location. I signed up for the ALIA feed, the Library 2.0 podcast feed as well as an interesting site called Library Technology NOW.
