Third blog - cool as the first - see my Suffragette from the Library of Congress photostream

Well, I had a look at the Commons.

The concept of helping describe the world's photo collections sounds interesting but only in the topics that fascenate me, and only for a reason that motivates me. Found and lost the Library of Congress photostream "Suffragettes and petitions" Looked for "suffragists Queensland" which is a fave subject of mine - nothing there.

For the first time a flickr (hah!) of interest flashed through my Tuesday sluggish brain - nothing on Queensland suffragists mmmmm would be a challenge to do something about this. But John Oxley and Picture Queensland is bound to have lots of pictures of our suffragists so I'll have another look - it would be good to upload Queensland suffragist photos on Flickr I think.

Anyway I've searched the Library of Congress and found some amazing suffragettes - http://www.flickr.com/search/commons/?q=suffragists&w=commons&m=all

I've CREATED MY FREE ACCOUNT at Flickr Yeah!!! Interesting that there are two groups, PUBLIC & PRIVATE - joining a group? no, not for me. But good to know about.

Well, time for lunch. That's all for my cool no. 2 blog today. Over and out world. Cheers !chao and slan Joanna

First blog

• I regularly read the John Oxley blog - for example the Mt Isa digital stories interest me - the whole SLQ Regional Apology Project is a great iniative - a great way to find out about responses to Kevin's apology. I attended the SLQ commemoration of the apology and the JO blog keeps me up to date with little effort.
• The Keeping Culture Strong Blog is a way I can keep up with IKC developments - the photos of staff personalizes the info. The Away with words project I heard about at a staff briefing at Cannon Hill and now I can read more about it and become familiar with what is happening
• Live long learning? is this specifically the SLQ Lifelong Learning Framework: children and young people? I'm looking forwards to finding out about the development of the Undercroftthis year. This cradle to the grave concept of LLL is also relevant to adult literacy which is an area I'm interested in.
• What I hope to gain from this Learning 2.0 .... well, I have a 21 year old daughter with a techie boyfriend and I do come across new tech. through them - but at a distance. With Learning 2.0 I hope to get immersed in some interesting new techie thing for a very short buzzy time and gain my professional information this way.
• Blogging for a client audience - this would be a challenge. I'm interested in developing under 5's storytelling and maybe this would be a way to keep in touch with libraries that are just starting a storytelling programme.

• STEPHEN FRY - his quote " You can never capture that first rapture" was pure coolness - as a Dr. Who zealot I liked hearing his agony as a 6 year old missing a Dr Who episode because the telly was broken - and his rave that this could never happen now - that the idea of losing the moment, missing a favourite episode, has completely disappeared. Personally I believe in serendipity and don't care if I miss something. Unlike my techie girlfriend (in her mid 50's mind you) who has every bell and whistle to ensure she never misses any favourite radio national interview or programme - so she podcasts and podcasts and podcasts
