Generators. Thing 7.
Here’s the picture of Del after using the “Warholizer” generator. I’ve tried the Yahoo avatar generator, but am still looking for the best rendition of me. Have to try some others.
Librarian on the road
Sanibel Island Public Library
I spent a week in Florida, visiting relatives and friends. We brought some “Vermont” with us–a breezy cold front that had everyone shivering for a few days! Highlights: Visiting local libraries, J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Red Sox vs. Boston College in Fort Myers, neighborhood tour of Sarasota, and blackened grouper. 
Captiva Island Public Library and Town Hall
Hermux Tantamoq
If you have read Michael Hoeye’s great series, starting with Time Stops for No Mouse, you may want to join the Facebook group. For those who haven’t, here’s the premise: Hermux is a watchmaker mouse who lives among the most civilized and urbane rodents in the world. He can’t resist offering to help a stunning aviatrix mouse, and naturally gets caught up in adventure, mystery and mayhem.
My cat now belongs to Catbook: Thing 5
Del For social networking, I went straight to the guru. My daughter Maria recommended Facebook rather than MySpace. My profile is pretty basic. It got more fun when I searched for Maria and gave her a “poke” to let her know I had a page. I also added her as a friend. She has created groups, so I joined one. And, she suggested that our cats Del (that gray plushy dude) and Asha become friends on Catbook. It’s a separate application you add to your page. You can search “Applications” for it. I can see why everyone is distracted by these sites–you can participate in a virtual community. More on how to use in libraries later.
