P.S. About Thing #13

The linkroll feature from Delicious to this blog worked fine -- well, sort of -- but for some reason, even though the HTML code showed that the bookmarks should be showing up in alphabetical order, and everything looked good in the preview on the Delicious site, the bookmarks didn't appear that way in this blog. I saw the changes to the HTML code with my very own eyes, but nothing happened to change the outward appearance of the order of the bookmarks. Harrumph. So, when the recommended method fails to yield the results one is looking for and when one is absolutely illiterate in reading and writing HTML code, then one is left with no other recourse than to switch to the tried and true "copy and paste" tactic, which seemed to work just fine. Go figure.

P.S. I promise to go back to the order of The 23 Things and get busy with Thing #6, "Flickr Fun and Mashups"...someday soon... Speaking of "mashups," here is a blurb from The Circulator Archives about how the word itself has evolved from musical applications to meaning a Web application hybrid.

Lemur Lover Leaps to Thing #13

So much for following instructions and approaching The 23 Things in an orderly fashion! Lemurs leap from one branch to another -- with no apparent method to their madness -- and hence this lemur loving librarian 2B has decided to follow suit. I was at the Planetree Library last week, where I volunteer, working on a school assignment. I wanted to access one of the information literacy blogs that I remembered coming across last semester BUT it was bookmarked on my laptop at home and quick searches from my memory did not yield the longed for result. Gr-r-r. Time to call on another Web 2.0 tool by setting up an account on Delicious.com (formerly del.icio.us), a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing and discovering bookmarked websites of interest to the other 5 million users on Delicious. Now the trick will be to see if I can incorporate a linkroll from Delicious into this blog. BTW, I finally watched Foul Play with Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, and Dudley Moore and got to see Ms. Gloria Mundy in action.

Some of My Delicious Bookmarks

• Best Friends Animal Society / animals pets rescue charity dogs cats rabbits animal_sanctuaries Utah Kanab national_parks parrots pigs horses

  Best Friends Animal Sanctuary located 5 miles outside Kanab, Utah. Kanab is a terrific little town (pop. 5,400), a few miles north of the Arizona border, from where a visitor can travel to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell.

• Bikram Yoga / Bikram_Yoga Hatha_Yoga

  This website is a great introduction to Bikram Yoga, a series of 26 postures done in a hot room with fellow practitioners -- students who have been doing Bikram Yoga for years and students who are just starting. It's an amazing Hatha Yoga practice! The testimonials page is fascinating though if I had a lot of pain from injuries and/or chronic conditions, I probably wouldn't have the incredible fortitude and perseverance to work through it like some of these folks who know that this yoga practice will help relieve their discomfort over time.

• Duke Lemur Center -- Mission Statement / lemurs Duke_Lemur_Center

  If you can't travel all the way to Madagascar to see lemurs in their natural habitat, you could go to the Duke Lemur Center instead, which is located in North Carolina. I'm looking forward to going there someday.

• IAVA - Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America - An Introduction to IAVA / IAVA Iraq_Veterans Afghanistan_Veterans Iraq_War

  The title of this bookmark speaks for itself. The video clip is well worth watching.

• If I Ran the Universe... / librarian_blog twisted_humor opossums

  If you're a LIS student, a librarian, a library paraprofessional, or someone who knows and loves librarians, you may get a kick out of this librarian's outlook on life inside and outside the library.
