Two women boxing - 1910


I was checking my Powerhouse Museum RSS feed through blogline and I came across this exquisite 1910 photo they have added to Flickr. I found it really interesting, curious and amusing at the same time. Everyone is dressed up like they are going out for a cup of tea and yet two women are about to have a go at each other. Marvellous!

Podcasting

I believe podcasting or more specifically vodcasting could be quite beneficial to library customers. It could be a regular and interesting way to inform customers on the latest events and newest collection items. The question is whether enough customers would view the vodcast to make it worth the required effort and time.

delicious

As 23 things requested, I created an account on delicious. The link is: http://delicious.com/benny100

From my very brief experience so far 'delicious' appears to be a varied version of a blog. I feel one would need a very specific purpose for it to be of any great use. While it is good to be aware of what is out there, sometimes more is less.

RSS Feeds



I have arrived home after a week away on Daydream Island in the Whitsundays. It was unreal and I would love to go back but unfortunately it is very expensive.

While I was away I missed out on all the latest news. Fortunately I had signed up to some RSS feeds and I could quickly catch up on the top stories of the week.

This allowed me to see how very little happens in a news week and how the same stories keep getting repeated. "no news is good news".

Flickr


Well life goes on and I have learned a little more. While I was playing around with Flickr I decided to search for my name to see what came up. I didn't find any photos of myself but I did find another Ben Gorman. He has about 100 modelling shots of him and his jock friends. I wonder if his mum put them online to try and find him a wife?
Cheers!
