I tend to stray from the norm, as is the case here, so my bookmarks really do not have anything in common other than the fact that they all reflect things that I am interested in or hold some importance in my life lately. My library can be found at http://www.diigo.com/user/deweydecimaul.
The first site bookmarked on here is actually a link to another Diigo group. I found this while playing around and thought it was relevant to our class since it focuses on Second Life as a teaching tool. How cool is that? I didn't highlight anything on here but, rather, just wanted to point out that you can bookmark other groups and pages on Diigo regardless as to whether you are a member of the group or not.
The second bookmarked site on my list is a website that is very near and dear to me at the current time. Here was find the "100 Best Sci-Fi Books" list. I am new to the genre and have decided that I am going to read all 100 books on the list. I love Diigo for the main reason that, as I go, I can highlight each book that I read. It is really awesome to be able to keep track this way.
My third bookmark is a section of the rules of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). I am very much involved with roller derby and will become WFTDA certified at the end of the month if all goes well (fingers crossed!). I only need pass one more skills test, out of many, to get my certification. My roller derby name is "Dewey Decimaul". I bookmarked a section that explains what each player is called and what they do. I feel strongest as "inside blocker" at this point but hope someday to become good and fast enough to become a jammer.
My fourth bookmark is a brief tutorial on e-readers. I just recently bought a brand new Kindle (3G and WiFi!) and have fallen deeply, passionately, and irrationally in love with it. It is already helping me get through my list of 100 Sci-Fi books!
You will also notice a picture in my library. Facebook and Diigo apparently like each other. If you have a Facebook page, go to someone's page and mouse over their profile picture. What happens? Pretty cool, huh? :) This is a picture of my best friend Warren. He loves vinyl albums, making music, and me. <3
