Technology Funny for the day...

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: "British archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, "The Klub", a Sunburg, Minnesota newspaper reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in corn fields near Games Lake, Ole Johnson, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Norwegians were already using wireless." YOU BETCHA!

What you find on Flickr!

I'm going to get you Amanda! I hate photos of any sort.

This is Gloria Jouppien and I at the ACRL WNY/O conference last fall. Low attendance due to the seasons' first snow fall and borders being closed down.

Nice hotel though!

My experience with del.icio.us...

For my Learning 2.0 @ Mac experience, I'd have to say that Google still served up more than the del.icio.us tagging software did. Using my favourite topic of lop rabbits, Google had tons more sites that were all relevant.

Since I'm searching two terms, I believe that is why del.icio.us was as limited as it was with the results. All were relevant; all 5 of them!

Onto Flickr!

Where my thoughts have been lately...

Merging of service points. Here's an interesting article:

Are Social Networks Good or Not??? The jury's still out

Interesting article on this whole topic which I've been pondering about since I've joined the Web 2.0 brigade.
