Web thing 19: hobbies

I downloaded MyGarden. I like the concept. You can view different plants and get some facts about them...photos, what kind of work they requires, how big they get. You can also see the other " garden ears" on the site and ask them questions or follow their posts. It appears to me that the site is relatively new. There were some postings such as Joe wants to have the photo of this plant identified but then I can't see a photo of the plant in question. Maybe it just wasn't working today. I like the idea of sharing info about gardening with others, though.

Mobile thing 11: library & reference

LOVE ELM so I took a look at the mobile version. I remember working at the Minitex booth at e State Fair years ago and grabbing kids out of the aisles to look at Research Project Calculator. I still plug ELM frequently in my medical library. It is a tremendous resource!

Web thing 18: education

Lots of interesting apps to try in this category. I tried :Duolingo and started relearning Spanish. The lessons are short so it is easy to set a daily goal to do one each day. There are fun ways to test your knowledge and. Corrections if you miss a word. I will continue to use Duolingo.

Web thing 12: bookb, books and more books

I downloaded Audiobooks..good app. One can get free books, free books with inexpensive upgrades or pay for books. Lots of different languages and tons of titles. I'm not sure that I would want to listen to Gray's Anatomy on audiobook, but someone might, I guess! I downloaded Treasure
Island but didn't like the marrator's scratchy voice. I will look for another classic free book to listen to on those nights when my eyes are tired and I just want to feel a little pampered by having someone read to me. AHHH, bring on the hot  tea and the lavender eye pillow!

Web thing 21 : free for all: the weather channel

I love this app. My daughter told me about it when I first got my iPad. I always use it to look up the weathering Minneapolis but also to whatever city I am going to travel to. Right now my husband is in India and while we are freezing in Minnestoa, I can see whether he is enjoying 80's or90's. I think I use this app almost daily. I just told my brother in Ohio about it since he just bought himself an iPad, too.
