Learning 2.0 = Bronchitis

Am I the only one or has everyone contracted bronchitis because of doing Learning 2.0. The minute I opened the MP3 player we got as a reward for completing the course I started coughing...and I couldn't stop.

I had to trade in the player for some antibiotics and I'm just now getting my breath back.

Other than this most recent development, I have appreciated Learning 2.0 no end. As August ended I could do none of what Learning 2.0 covered. Now I can do it all - some better, some really poorly - but all, nonetheless.

So the edict now is practice, practice, practice and keep learning.

How do you make a Philly Cheese Steak? (there must be some baseball / Yankee dominance answer to this riddle but I don't know it)

Confession: a concerned family member told me about the above You Tube video when I signed up for the MLIS program...

Alan Watts (d. 1973) easily the biggest influence on my life, bar none. Give him a try...

eAudiobooks...well, how much time do you have? I worked in audiobooks from 1995 until earlier this year when Simon & Schuster, along with most publishers, laid many folks off. I was involved with Recorded Books and then by extension with their involvement with NetLibrary. Many publishers are now also using a company called Overdrive to deliver eaudio to libraries - there's a program called Listen NJ that Overdrive runs - that's what's used in South Orange, where I live.

While eaudiobooks through libraries all sounds (sic) very nice, for the authors it can easily be a financial disaster if the proprietors of the audio rights are not vigilant. But that's a story for another day...
