I chose the iGoogle page since I liked the look of it best, and as so many of us, I think I've been Googleized. I added my own photo (from the Flickr account that I set up for Thing #5) and played around with various widgets. I can see this as being a useful tool for someone who routinely visits specific sites each day to get everything from sports to weather. Just like my husband Paul, who starts each morning with ESPN, CNN, NPR and two weather sites (sometimes 3 or 4 if it's hurricane season of if the Suwannee is getting ready to flood as it is now). As with most of these online tools, I think their usefulness has a lot to do with abandoning old ways, like the "At-A-Glance" calendar covering the top of my desk at work and the little scraps of paper I carry in my pockets with list of things to do and get at the store. I'm not sure if I'm ready to use this full time at work, but I'll definitely revisit it when I've finished the 23Things project and have some time to spare.
I can see myself using one of the online calendars the next time we have a project at work that requires participation by a number of people. Right now I rely on email for communication to set up meetings, check work schedules and set deadlines. The shared aspect of the calendars could make this task much easier.
About Me
- Sherry Millington
- Live Oak, Florida, United States
- My name is Sherry Millington and I work at the Suwannee River Regional Library, in Live Oak Florida, as the Technical Services Coordinator. My husband Paul and I live at River Watch, our old house on the Suwannee River. We share our lives with 6 dogs, 9 cats, 5 birds, a tank of tropical fish and Charlie the racoon (who lives in the kitchen). On the weekends the new love of our lives, 4 month old grandson Ayden, also joins us. Life is truly amazing on the banks of the Suwannee.
