I went there as a camper and then worked several summers while in college and when I was teaching high school. It was a great, creative and energetic time in my life.

One of my friends from that time is Kami Kinard, who is now a published author. (Check out her book, The Boy Project).  She also has a blog called Nerdy Chicks Rule. I was surprised and honored when she asked me to be interviewed on her blog. So, I got to share some of my techy-feelyness with other folks around the world!

And, I got to share my love for Song Charts one more time!

And, I love lists. So, here is a list of lists….

Presenting my faves for the end of 2009 and the end of the first decade of the 2000s (naughties? noughties? oughts? aughts? What did we call them?)

DJ Earworm – United States of Pop 2009

NPR All Songs Considered Best Music of 2009
I always find new music via NPR’s All Songs Considered

Lifehacker’s Most Popular Hive Five Topics of 2009
Crowdsourcing has grown in popularity, easy and usefulness. And why not? It usually works!

Entertainment Weekly’s Best of 2009 (highs and lows)
Since this is my guilty pleasure reading at the gym, I felt that I must put it in here

The Top 10 Everything of 2009  and the Best Movies, TV, Books and Theater of the Decade from Time Magazine
well, they said everything…

Top 10 Internet Moments of the Decade from ABC News

And, for good measure, I just had to use the “My Year in Status” application in Facebook to build a status collage for 2009.

I also had to go visit Wordle and do something there with my blog posts from 2009. And, here it is.

Yes, it took me a year to figure out the use of Twitter but I use it almost everyday for work and personal learning, news, entertainment, and more.  Kinda cool to see everybody all together.

Get your twitter mosaic here.

Google uses its ubiquitous search of all things – Flickr, Twitter, blogs, etc..and you can find out what is connected..either how you connect to yourself in other social sites and also how you are connected to friends.  I need to spend more time with it but was fascinated with my quick test. I entered the three blogs I write and then, presto – up popped my Flickr and my Pownce sites. (and I had totally forgotten I had a Pownce site).

I got all Spock-like…”fascinating”.

That coupled with two days of out of town meetings last week means that I have been all but silent on the blogosphere. When I checked in today, I was a bit sad to see the last 5 postings were from my del.icio.us posting “thingy” (their word – not mine..I would use doodad or some other technically savvy term).

That struck me as blog-lazy. So, I deleted that. My plan was to use that feed as a way to make a very easy backup of the sites that I link in del.icio.us. And, it is that. But, it also seems to be the only fresh content and I don’t really like that so much.

So, off to find something else for capturing the deliciousness of social bookmarking but without acting like it is the main author of the blog.
