It's fun to see who has finished the 23 Things project. Keep going everyone. I just re-did my Page Badge after seeing other finishers' blogs. I thought, "How did they get that picture on their badges?" So I went back to my page to see how to make the badge and made one with my picture on it. Once you've tried one of the 23 Things, it's a lot easier to try it again. And maybe you'll even do it correctly the second time!
The PLA convention was great btw. And because of the Twenty-three Things program, I wasn't reluctant about going to the Technozoo session. And I actually knew what the presenter was talking about most of the time!

Post 23 Things Blogging
Whoa! I haven't blogged for a while and 1. I forgot my sign-in name and password and
2. I had to think about how to start again (new post). So if any of you are still working on your "things", don't wait too long between postings or you may forget how. But maybe I'm the only one who has this kind of memory loss! I frequently try to teach patrons what their library pin number is in case they ever want to request their own books or use our Internet stations. I ask, "Do you know your pin?" Nope. So I tell them and give them a hint so they will remember next time (i.e. "the last 4numbers of your phone number.") The next time they come in I ask, "Do you know your pin?" Nope.
But I do understand how they feel. Too many things to remember, too many numbers, too many passwords, too many sign-ins, too many phone numbers.
Anyway...
I've been taking part in the discussions on my 23 Things web page. The discussion about "How do you find time to complete the 23 Things" is interesting. Some people do them at home, some at work. Some libraries feel that the 23 Thing project is important enough to allow their employees time to complete it on the job. Some libraries don't have the technology to allow them to complete it. Some participants don't have time at work. Some don't have time at home. But I think what is most interesting is that so many people are trying it from all over the state. I didn't expect that many would try it. So Yay! And Happy Easter!
