I realized when I was looking around Flickr that my son has pictures on this site from his study abroad year in England. This is a picture of a swan in Norwich. He has some other pictures posted at Yahoo which will be disappearing soon. Because he no longer remembers his password, he can't transfer them to Flickr-- a good reminder to me to make note of all my passwords.

I enjoyed exploring the mashups and third party tools. One that intrigued me is the Trip Planner. What a great way to organize information about a vacation along with photos. I feel a little overwhelmed by all the possibilities of things you can add to your trip planner -- maps, hotels, itinerary, etc. I also created a movie poster which was fun to do. I wanted to try out Mappr but unfortunately something seems to be wrong with it at the moment. I'll have to remember to try it out another time. One problem with trying out all these new things is that I tend to get caught up with it and time flies by.

I've been thinking a lot about technological advances in the medical field. The library will soon be getting an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator). This amazing device can save so many lives and the more public places that have them, the better. The difference between life and death is just a matter of minutes when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest.
