It’s not just social networking or tag clouds. The simplest explanation came from an article in the Library Journal,” Any service, physical or virtual, that successfully reaches users, is evaluated frequently, and makes use of customer input is a Library 2.0 service.” Now if we can just get Augie, the I.T. guy,  full-time…

They are incredible, you can generate images as mosaics, as I did here or generate sound with other generators…they are out there lots to choose from. Did my mosaic at http://bighugelabs.com. Just incredible!

Another $50 bill every month either way.

Keep thinking about who I need to apologize to. Don’t you hate that feeling?
