Gaming in the library?!!!
I see that many of the larger libraries are having gaming activities for their pre-teen and teen patrons. I think it is a great idea to get the kids in the library, especially if they usually wouldn't be in the library.

Of course, I like the video one best-Metacafe.com and dailymotion.com. I had already used youtube in the past. I really enjoyed the new sites. I also enjoyed the broth.com and art site. Google docs is pretty handy.
Lastfm.com looks like something I could enjoy on my leisure time.
But my award goes to picnik...the photo editing website.
This was great!

Robbed!
On Labor Day weekend, my husband and I were driving home from the lake. At 2:30 in the afternoon, on a highway...I saw 2 guys at the door of a home and one guy was kicking in the door. I turned to my husband and said. "Did you see that guy just kick that door in?" He said he didn't ...what did I want to do?....we drove on down and decided to turn around and go back. We turned down the road the house was on and didn't see anyone, but there was a truck parked at the bottom of the hill. So, we drove by it and turned around and came back by, so I could take photos of the license plate and the truck. As we were driving back up the hill to the highway, the guy I saw kick in the door started down the hill...I kept clicking photos of him and about the time he got even with the truck window, he snatched the camera out of my hands!!! I was not hanging it out the window, although I know I should have had the window up and we should have been stepping on the gas. Regardless, we both jumped out and ran back to the guy, who was already in his truck (a stick-shift)and trying to get away. He could not keep the truck cranked and keep the camera from 4 arms trying to reach through the window. My husband kept turning the steering wheel and turning the key off and the truck kept rolling back sideways. I wasn't getting anywhere through the window, so I darted across the front of the truck and opened the passenger door and dived for my camera. We had a tug of war, the strap broke, it landed in the floorboard and I grabbed it, but he grabbed it back...all while My husband was wrestling the steering wheel and we rolled back in a ditch! My husband hollered for me to come on, that he was stuck and we ran to the truck and I dialed 911 (which is what I should have done in the first place). Anyway. we were right on the county line and 911 couldn't decide which county to send....
I am yelling... "they are going to get away, if you don't get somebody here". The guy was walking back up the hill with MY camera and the second guy came out of the house with a big case, and we decided to drive down the road and ask a guy mowing to help us. He told us the name of the road and we waited in his yard 20 MINUTES before the first police cars arrived. The robbers had loaded up and pushed the truck out and were gone.
But we know what they look like and what they drive, and the police are hot on their trail. If I had had on my athletic shoes-instead of my flip flops, I could have kicked his butt. I hope he looks back over his shoulder the rest of his life, worrying about one pissed off librarian kicking his butt!
I am getting a newer, better camera...but I will miss my favorite camera...we had been through a lot together.
