Two cool resources

Thanks to Larry for reminding me to post this!

Check out LibraryThing. It allows you to catalogue your books. Additionally, it works with Ottobib and provides book citations in MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian, and Wikipedia citation. I also like GoodReads, but I’m a bookaholic.

Important video of ideas to watch, think, discuss

Thanks to Larry for this video!

Seems to me there's a message here applicable to how technology changes the
way we learn, think, and interactivity with technology? Technology use:
Consuming! Producing! Sharing!

In the following video, ³Where do people find the time?², Shirky argues that
investing our time in learning these technologies or spending your extra
time on the Internet learning is not useless, rather it is more productive
than watching TV and that we should reconsider how we "waste" our time.
