Nerd 2.0

It’s been a pleasantly low-key weekend in preparation for the traditional festive period of Nick’s Birthday (Dec 15th) to, er, Australia day (Jan 26th).

After a stormy week it’s finally getting warm (about 30 degrees) so we did a bit of gardening and stuff, planning on a proper bushwalk on Sunday. Saturday night was dinner with friends and Sunday avo brought the mother’s group Christmas picnic at beautiful Bobbin Head – 13 babies made for little boredom.

Saturday and Sunday Saw Beth being unusually unhappy until we figured out the reason – her first tooth! Bless. Frozen flannels and chewy plastic are now the go.

I’ve been having fun playing around with lots of those new web applications you may have read about: wikis, Del.ic.ious, 43 Things, 43 Places, Bloglines, All Consuming and so on. There’s so much happening it’s hard to keep track, especially as all the librarian blogs are 5 steps ahead of me at any given time. Great fun though, and the potential applications to life and work are mind-blowing. It feels like web 2.0 might actually mean something valid. Is the internet coming of age? Or is it just ego stroking for content creators and of no worth to the community in general?
