So many titles, so little time. Sunday, July 13, 2008. To the NPR site and, naturally, headed for book discussions. One featured an interview with Edward Dolnick. Author of "The Forger's Spell," an account of what the author contends was the greatest art forgery case of the 20 th. The forger was a Dutchman, one Hans van Meegeren.

bookie: Web 2.0 tools
http://ken-bookie.blogspot.com/2008/07/web-20-tools.html
So many titles, so little time. Thursday, July 10, 2008. OK they told us a few weeks back, week 5, I think, that we could have fun. Fun is good, so I figured let's have more of it. Thus, it was an easy choice looking at all these tools on Web 2.0 Awards. I chose to explore the one called FUN. My choice was "One Sentence." These are supposed to be stories of everyday life told in one sentence only, and offered up as something that really happened to the commenter. And not fiction. Such as this one:.

bookie: The End
http://ken-bookie.blogspot.com/2008/07/end.html
So many titles, so little time. Monday, July 14, 2008. We've reached the end, the final curtain. Seems as though I've been doing this for months and months. I've typed and clicked.typed and clicked.shouldn't there be a novel in here somwhere? Seriously, though, folks, I did learn a few things. The RSS feeds are a great way to get news updates without all the annoying popups and menu distractions on the actual news sites. I'm going to be using these probably more than any other of the tools.

bookie: Legacy of Ashes
http://ken-bookie.blogspot.com/2008/07/legacy-of-ashes.html
So many titles, so little time. Monday, July 14, 2008. I picked "Legacy of Ashes" as an audiobook selection because I've already read it. I was curious as to how accurate the description of this title would be. This is considered by many national security experts to be among the most comprehensive books on the history of the CIA. This is the book the CIA does not want you to read. For the last sixty years, the CIA has maintained a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, never disclosin...

So many titles, so little time. Sunday, July 13, 2008. What a cornucopia of wheat.and chaff! News and politics, entertainment, education, style are just a few of the categories, and each one offers hundreds of videos. It seems likely a viewer could find something on almost any subject in a few clicks. I especially liked the news and politics zone (watched an AP clip highlighting career of White House flack Tony Snow, who died of cancer at 53). Most surprising were the page after page of video offerings t...

bookie: May 2008
http://ken-bookie.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
So many titles, so little time. Thursday, May 29, 2008. That's the operative phrase for White House political staffers. The meaning? Make sure the media have ample helpings of newsy "food" (read: junk food) to keep them sufficiently occupied that they- at least for part of a news cycle- are diverted from digging up any real dirt on the Administration. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Whose ruminations would attract comments by the hundreds. Sounds like rags to riches? Wednesday, May 21, 2008. It seems as though w...

http://ken-bookie.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
So many titles, so little time. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. There seem to be any number of possible applications for libraries, as shown by my quick look at several sites. Book reviews by staff and patrons, games and game discussions, details on library/regional area events were some of the offerings. How about a place for people to post comments/suggestions on library services/programs? Monday, June 23, 2008. Still more clicking and typing this week.and. Monday, June 16, 2008.
