Moving along

I'm going to consider both thing 9 and thing 10 done. I've watched videos on googledocs and on wikis. When we were opening the new library at Maplewood I used a wiki and I have participated on the internal reference wiki as well. I know how they work and how to contribute and read new contributions. I am interested in using googledocs to store the documents I am working on in formulating the code of conduct. I have found keeping track of all of my latest versions to be challenging and can see how this storage and sharing feature would be helpful. I will explore the other document sharing tools as I have time, but think that the basic content of these two things is clear to me.

Politically and technologically active! Thing 8

Hey--I both watched the vp debates and created a slideshow to post! I won't divulge which was the more rewarding experience. I have opinions about both, but will stick to the 23 things. I had a few missteps here, mostly due to haste, but generally this was quite easy and I think this idea of creating and sharing slideshows and presentations is great. It is all fairly intuitive, no matter which service you use. I can see using this if I wanted to jazz up a presentation and it might even help me overcome my aversion to the scrapbooking mentality.
I might need some help overcoming another aversion. Anyone up for diagramming some first response sentences? I think you'd find it quite simple.
