Portfolio: Draft 1

It’s taken long enough, but my portfolio is done in its infant form. I need to add more content to this, but of course the more time I spend actually doing things, the less time I have to add those things to my portfolio. If you have thoughts or comments, please let me know.

Other than that, the Annoyed Librarian wrote a blog post which eerily mirrors my recent post on retirements. Well, it’s not that eerie, since it’s one of the AL’s favorite rants. I don’t think that most young librarians (or at least new librarians, since many people in library school aren’t that young) really think that all librarians over a certain age should quit. I don’t even think that some librarians who have been known to say that really think it. I think that things are a lot more interesting when the “digital natives” and the “digital migrants” get together, which I say as someone who has been online since the age of 8 or 9 and only got a Twitter account this week. No matter your age or skill level, some things will be more interesting and easier than others. And, to end on a cheery note, we’ll all be irrelevant someday!

Becoming a technology jerk

In the course of one weekend I have acquired both a Bluetooth headset and a Twitter account. The former because I had to get a new phone, and it was thrown in for free (and it is, after all, illegal and a bad idea to hold a phone while driving). The latter because I had been putting it off for what feels like years, and my new phone makes sending texts much more pleasant.

I promise not to be too big a jerk with this technology. I will go further, and promise to get plenty of fresh and air and exercise, technology free.

Update to last post

I might just be in love with the Remember the Milk plug-in for Google Calendar. This does what I need in a simple way, since before I was manually entering individual to-do items into my “all day” section on Google Calendar, and then typing “DONE:” before the item when it was done. This was pretty clunky, and I like my new system much better.
