23 technology things

Last week I started a new training at work, and thought that some of you, might be interested in trying something new.

The purpose is to introduce the library staff to new technologies. Some of the employees are really afraid to try new things. So I borrowed an idea from some other libraries and started the Jackson District Library Learning 2.0 program.

Each week, I will post a new blog about a "new" technology thing. Each post will include some discovery resources and exercises.

If anybody is interested in looking at it go to the Jackson District Library, Learning 2.0 site.

You are free to follow along and try some of the new things, if you want.

Brain Pain

My siblings and I did something like this when we were kids, but when somebody broght this to work I couldn't remember what any of them were. I thought I would share it with you- see how many you can figure out. I will post the answers next week.


This is a test to gauge your mental flexibility and creativity, and jus tfor fun- can you figure out what words the letters in each of the phrases below stand for?
Hint sometimes it helps if you do the easy ones first- then put it down for a while the answers may pop into you head at unexpected moments.

Example: 16 = O in a P Answer: 16 Ounces in a Pound

26 = L of the A
7 = D of the W
1001= AN
12 = S of the Z
54 = C in a D (with J)
9 = P in the SS
88 = PK
13 S on the AF
32 = DF at which WF
18 = H on a GC
90 = D in a RA
200 = P for PG in M
(D for PG in M)
8 = S on a SS
3 = BM (SHTR)
4 = Q in a G
24 = H in a D
1 = W on a U
5 = D in a ZC
57 = HV
11 = P on a FBT
1000 = W that a P is W
28= D in F in a LY
64 = S on a CB
40 = D and N on the GF
76 = T in the BP
50 = W to LYL
99 = B of B on the W
60= S in an M
1 = H on a U
9 = J on a SC
7 = B for SB
21 = D on a D
7 = W of the AW
15 = M on a DMC

The 60's continues

This is the picture I wanted to have with the previous post, but had to wait until I got home to find it. I know my immediate family will remember these lovely fashion statements, but now that I am posting it I notice that it is not offically the '60s, it is really 1959. Oh well close enough.

Memories -the sixtes.

I don't have a lot of time, I'm at work, but I did want you all to see this. It is kind of cool and has great music . Great Memories- the sixties
Like it says, if it is before your time just set back and enjoy.

I have a great picture at home that I was going to but I apparently don't have it here so I will post it later.

Some of you may remember this clothing fad though.
