I’m to be playing “catch up” but I have to admit to procrastination.  I saw the word “tricky” earlier today and my mind rebelled.  I tend to have a low level of tolerance for frustration when it comes to technology.  I’m even something of a luddite.  And I had one heck of a miserable time getting my user avatar up on this site.  I still can’t manage to take care of the blog avatar.  Sooooo…this is one reason why I procrastinated.

Another reason for putting RSS off (and too many other tech toys), my library is in the neolithic age. (No luck with grants.)  I do, at least, have a SmartBoard, but I run it off my own laptop.  It’s been hard to motivate myself when I don’t see a way to use these things at work.

I signed up for netvibes but haven’t done much with it yet. 

www.netvibes.com/hersheybear The title is Organizing with Hershey Bear.  So far I can only see it for what it claims to be–a means to organize “news” sources that you would repeatedly check anyway.  I like that you can organize under tabs and customize for the types of information you need.  I get very distracted by all the flashing pop-ups and other annoyances.

By the way- Hershey Bear is one of my pet rabbits.  I think about my son and my pets when the frustration gets too much.  They always cheer me up.
