16 ❀ Geotagging

Geotagging...is kind of cool, I suppose. It's not something I could see myself using all of the time, really.

Buuut since this Thing wanted me to do that, I quickly uploaded my zombie picture to Flickr and geotagged it. Why yes, I do love that picture.

Then I looked at the Flickr World Map, and I found some amazing images on there. It puts my shoddy photography skills to shame! Seriously!

Here are a couple.

Looking at professional photos never gets old.

15 ❀ Podcasts

I hear about podcasts all the time, but I never really wanted to get into them. They just don't seem like my kind of thing. Buuut since this Thing wanted me to check one out, so I did.

The main podcast I hear about a lot is the KWDB podcasts of the Dave Ryan in the Morning talk show bits and such. I love listening to the show, so I gave some of their podcasts a listen. I found this one, "Lies Your Ex Told You", particularly interesting. I wanted to listen to the bit I missed a couple weeks ago about teachers ranting about annoying kids and parents that they had to deal with, but I couldn't find it! Darn.

Anyway, I recommend giving these podcasts a listen; the Dave Ryan Show is hilarious!

14 ❀ Research Project Calculators

Oh wow, now this is a tool that I could see myself using! I'm pretty bad when it comes to getting research projects done on time. I tend to cram everything in at the last second, but I've been getting better with it over time.

But with something like this...I could know what times to do stuff so I could have everything done on time!

I want to give this thing a try once I do get a research project to do.

13 ❀ Get Productive

Being productive is definitely something that I need help with.

I was never one to use calendars, let alone online ones, but I do make to-do lists from time to time. In fact, I've made one for Wednesday and Thursday. I usually just post them on my Livejournal, set to private so only I can see it. I'm generally good at remembering that it's there. I've found that I've been needing to make them more often because I've been pretty forgetful with all these college due dates.

My start page...is just Livejournal. It's my main site and the first thing that I like to check the moment I get on. Although, I can see those special start pages coming in handy.

Once I'm done with these Things, I get to check this off on my to-do list, haha!

12 ❀ Tags and Del.icio.us

I had a feeling that I would get asked to do some tagging at some point! This is a habit that I want to get into that I haven't gotten around to doing on my Livejournal. I went around my entries and tagged them all. At least I don't have to tag nearly as many as I would if I went to do on my LJ. I have over 400 entries on that thing!

Next up was Del.icio.us. That's an interesting name to type out. I keep just wanting to type "delicious" without the periods. Anyway, I wasn't aware of this handy tool either! At first, I thought "well, I categorize my bookmarks already, I wouldn't really need this..." and then I saw that you can open your bookmarks on any computer. That really caught my eye. It'd be nice to have that for class bookmarks indeed! I'm going to try to use this in the future.

11 ❀ Slideshows

It's been a while since I put together an online slideshow, but I remember using Slide before, so I went with that for this Thing. I put together a compilation of pictures that I took at Anime Detour in 2006 and 2007. It sure brings back memories!

10 ❀ More Flickr

I played around with the Flickr Fields Colr Pickr for this Thing. I picked red from the color wheel and got a bunch of cool pictures! Credit goes to the respective owners, of course. That's a neat little tool though!

I then headed over to Big Huge Labs and tried out the Pop Art creator. I got this result:



It's decent, I suppose.

Big Huge Labs has some pretty cool utilities. I wanna try the Motivator Poster generator and Lolcat generator sometime!
