Who knew I’d like social networking? April 12, 2007

I originally didn’t see the need for Facebook, but I really enjoy finding out non-work related things about people, like their favourite tv shows.  Who knew there were so many doctor who and stargate fans out there?  I’ve also been able to reconnect with some friends from highschool that I haven’t talked to in years.  It’s neat being able to check up on people.

 I also looked into MySpace.  My impression of this network is that is it very entertainment focussed (music and tv/movie) and unless you’re involved in those areas, why bother becoming involved?  It also seemed quite commercial - many of the sites I looked into looked professionally made.

I chose this as my favourite Flickr picture, because he looks exactly like my sister’s cat Smokey.  Soooo fuzzy and cute, but a little dim :)

My very first post February 19, 2007

I am officially a blogging librarian, although what I am going to blog about remains a little bit of a mystery.  For now, I suppose,  I will prattle on about my new life in Hamilton.  Once some of this snow clears and the temperature is a little more friendly, I will set out to explore Hamilton and write about the neat places I discover.  Leave comments if you know of any places I should visit.

 Things I’ve done in my first month here:

- walked down Locke Street (but I haven’t eaten at the bagel place yet!)

- gone to the Farmer’s Market
