Thing 10
Well, I finished. Thing 10 was very easy. I downloaded (and read) a Berenstain Bears book. I thought that title was appropriate since I catalog the children's fiction and probably cataloged the hard copy.
Thing 9
Google docs looks like a very easy way to prepare a document. It has many of the same features as Microsoft Word, so it is pretty easy to use. Also the toolbar buttons are nice.
I played around with Google Earth. I saw my house in Skokie, my house in Wisconsin, and then I looked up Great America. The Great America picture had little post-it type notes that when you clicked on them they told you the name of the ride (they were not available for all the rides) and there was even a camera that when you clicked on that it showed you a color picture of the ride. The satellite view was taken when Great America was first adding the Hurricane Harbor which I think was in 2004, so it isn't completely current.

Thing 8
I added a list of favorite TV shows. It was fun to read what other staff's likes are.
I opened the Wikipedia page and found it very interesting. I like how you can click on links in the definitions to get more information quickly. I would like to believe that people adding information to this and other websites would be doing so honestly, although, I am sure there are people out there who deliberately post misinformation.

Thing 7
I did have to ask Ruth for some help with this thing, she came and helped me out right away. Thanks Ruth!!!
I subscribed to Kankakee Public Library since it was in Illinois and Grand Rapids since I have a friend who lives there. At Grand Rapids I picked the storytime podcasts and listened to a story called The Little School Bus. I may have to play this for my grandkids.
I also subscribed to a Walleye Fishing podcast that actually my husband might be interested in, so I will have to show this to him at home.
