Thing #18 and 19

All of the "Award" categories look interesting to look at but I picked Visual Arts. All of the sites could be delved into . I will look more in the future.

Suprise! Here is another Flickr photo of my globe!

#9(You Tube): I would rather go to the movies than look at things on You Tube.

#10. FacebookWhenever I look at postings for Facebook, they always seem like kids who are partying. For me, a website seems more practical, or alot of my art shows have been archived by galleries and they just come up if you Google my name.

#11. My Space reminds me of Facebook and I would rather just Google names to look things up.

#12.Book Space reminds me of a book club. I do not like Book Clubs because I like to read books that I want to read. I have authors that I've read from their very first book thirty years ago and I am still reading their recent books.

#13. Tagging seems like a good way to zero in on options and I am going to play around with it.

#14. Twitter seems to me like it is text messaging. My son texts and we have to pay alot of money for them. I would rather write a letter or postcard instead of doing text message.

#15. Library 2.0 & Web 2.0: I think that this is almost a summary of everything that we have learned and so I will keep practicing these interactions on the web and learn them in baby steps.

#17: I got to play with Evanston favorites with Wicki and it was real fun. This seemed easier than the others . Maybe I'm getting better with it. So, I guess that , from #16, I got more familiar with the method behind the madness of Wicki.

my globe in D.C.

By popular demand, here is a photo of my "Cool Globe," taken in Washington, D.C. by a Flickr user.

Rick's Garden

I went to visit the Rick Bayless home garden on a trip sponsored by the Chicago Botanic Garden.Unfortunately, Rick was stuck in an airport in London, so he wasn't there. But, I did meet him before, when I gave him an armload of my angelica. (I have a recipe published for candied angelica in the "Smith & Hawken Community Garden Cookbook." But I did give his gardener some of my plants and seeds of angelica, so maybe they will flourish in Rick's home garden.

Cool Globe

I finally tracked down my Cool Globe! They transported it to Washington, D.C. to the United States Botanic Garden, next to the Capital. How appropriate! I wish that I could visit it. (It stays up until mid-October.) It will be auctioned off , I think in D.C.
