Whaazzzuup!

I am just cruising through Learning 2.0 @ the ACPL. That's how this blog came about. Since it is my first blog and full of miscellaneous (eclectic) junk I thought Eclectic Thoughts would work. I added the 2.0 for Learning 2.0, Web 2.0, and all the other #.0 that are out there.

Personally, I haven't caught the blogging bug yet. Somewhere I heard there were millions of people reading blogs. Unfortunately, those millions of readers were the authors of those blogs. Kinda like I am here.

But Dupont library has a wonderful blog they use. I was reading some of the posts and they are full of useful information for their staff. One of the posts even included part of an email I sent them about PC Reservation.

I usually find that I end up reading blogs during a political debate. But that only lasts long enough for me to realize one thing. We share this planet with a bunch of strange individuals. Problem is, I may be the strangest one of all. I mean I really feel like I am living in some parallel universe. Listening to what callers have to say on C-SPAN, or how some news outlets report on these debates, only proves my point. It's almost like I saw a totally different debate than everyone else. But truth prevails and someone actually writes in their blog or reports on the news the same thing I saw. Funny thing is, it always seems to be that one person who I felt had it all wrong from the last time. Go figure.

Since I am sort of on a political soapbox. Wow, blogs, electronic soapboxes. I am sure I wasn't the first to think of that. hehehaha. Anyhow, I heard about VAJoe.com and the sites Candidate Calculator. You answer a few questions and after you submit your answers it will match you with candidates that share your same views. It also lists candidates that have views close to yours. Sorry, I wont tell you who my top match is. I found it rather funny myself.

Well that's all for now. Thanks for reading and stopping by.

That's "It's IT Professional"

I was thinking of one of the iACPL video's we posted on YouTube when I was trying to come up with the address for my blog. Unfortunately, my memory isn't what is use to be. Take a look at this video and you will see what I mean. Oh... I am on the left. Yes... I am a ham...

This is the third in a four part series we did that pokes fun at how Librarians and IT work together. Face it, there is a little geek in all of us.

Sean explains this better on the ACPL IT blog.
