YouTube = good winter-time entertainment

I have so much going on right now! Holy wow... I will update you on that shortly, but first! A fun blog entry! :o) These YouTube videos were passed around at SI this week and they are super funny!

This one has been inspired by the documentary "March of the Penguins" and was posted by an SI alum. It's from the American Libraries Association Midwinter conference that I also attended in Seattle, Washington in January.

And this second one is about the "Medieval Helpdesk." Apparently books, in this scenario, were just as difficult a new technology as many of the electronic versions that are being developed today.

And this last one is really fantastic. It's about the changing face of digital everything and Web 2.0. Just watch it and be amazed! (Note the Creative Commons copyright at the end--pretty cool, eh?)

Hope you find this as entertaining as I did! We are having a lovely winter storm at the moment (I say 'lovely' with the utmost sarcasm :o) so I am at home tonight getting a whole TON of things done and hopefully I can update you in a few days on the latest news in my crazy life! It involves some really cool projects and a whole lot of interviews. Exciting times... :o)
