I went into Christina's Cooking School group and did her "Improve a Recipe" project. This is my recipe: http://diigo.com/0lcnq. Simple, but it works.

I could see myself using Diigo. On the Experiments assignment, I made sure that I did a project I would actually use, just in case I decided I liked it. Others have commented on the lag time and I wonder if some of the things I thought didn't work are because the system was slow or if I really didn't do them right. It's quite possible that I redid things I didn't need to redo.

Honestly, I found the Help feature here to be useless. Several times I would try a link and find a blank page with a title. Not helpful at all. So I kept exploring and eventually figured out what I was working on.

I work mostly with children at the public library, so I don't know that I would use this with the children. But I could see using it to organize myself. I could also see it as a possibility for sharing ideas among the children's librarians in our library system. Although, we have a hard enough time getting some of them to understand going on our local network to open a file, so asking them to contribute to something online could be a bit... optimistic? It is a thought though.

Hi! For my group, I made a website that the Teen Advisory Board could use. My activities are looking for ideas for our monthly craft programs and suggesting book discussion titles. Here it is:

For now it's set to public.

I made a list called SRP Ideas 2012 and found some sites with different craft and activity ideas that I could use for Summer Reading. It's insane to me to be thinking about summer already, but our first deadline is Dec. 27!

I can't decide what I think about Diigo and bookmarks. I had a dreadful time convincing it to let me make a list and then had a hard time getting it to let me add things to the list. So I'm not loving the mechanics.

I do like that everything is organized, though. I can find all my ideas in one place instead of having bookmarks and favorites scattered all through Firefox. I like that I could save things I come across at home, too, without sending an email message to my work address with the links. And being able to make notes to myself is really nice.

I guess I'll have to play with it some more and see what I really think. :)

I've never been a big fan of poetry. I guess that I just don't like being told that everything has to have a deeper meaning. Sometimes I think that a beautiful flower can just be a beautiful flower. Oh well.

I have always loved Shel Silverstein so I looked for him. I didn't recognize this poem, Mr. Grumpledump's Song, but it sure suite my mood this weekend: http://diigo.com/0lbzs

And in true Shel Silverstein fashion, it made me smile.
