Spreading the meme

Closest Book meme
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Cloudstreet by Tim Winton (sitting on Rose's desk)
And so to page 56:
The front room, we'll use the front room out there for a shop. Gawd knows, there's enough room. It won't hurt us to use some of it for enterprise.
That's a good word that sounds weak on your lips, Lester Lamb. Across the corridor, they'll chuck all whatser-name about it..
They're broke, darl. They're poor as us.

That's all folks...

Well I was trying to send a photo from my phone to my blog but, it is only available to US residents. I have enjoyed doing the 23Things immensley and hope to apply them in the not too distant future. Things I have not liked: not being able to get into my Sandbox, some of the dead links that looked really interesting and some of the posts on the 23Things (through PLCMC Learning 2.0) are a number of years old. Social technology has moved on since then. I would definitely embark on another discovery program, but at my own pace this time.

I will leave you guessing what the image is...

Netlibrary

Netlibrary

Well the link to the PLCMC (to register for Netlibrary)has bit the dust: We apologize, but the page you have requested is currently unavailable. Had a look through Netlibrary and came across some interesting books (like the one left). Also searched through the e-books at UniSA. I was presently surprised at the variety and number we have.

Podcasts

I agree with Karen that there should be an equivalent of Youtube for podcasts. I was a bit disappointed that a number of the links for this exercise did not work. The one that did work podcastalley.com was full of weird things. I had a look at the ABC website, which is full of interesting podcasts. On a library level RMIT has a number of podcasts for patrons. Have a look at RMIT. Even some of the Podcast tutorial links do not work. Maybe I should try a podcast!!!!
