Okay, the week nine lesson--SENT FROM THE HEAVENS!!! I've been trying to revamp my music collection, trying to get some new stuff in there, etc. It's just so hard, though, to find music that you might like. You can't just go around buying cd's willy nilly because those things are expensive. So when I tried liveplasma and musicmap--well, that's just some good stuff!
Now, about the DRM debate, I have a hard time being objective. I can understand the record companies trying to make the most money possible, but it seems the steps they've taken to prevent ripping is too little too late. I have to agree with Steve Jobs: if they were seriously interested in stemming the flow of free music, they should be focusing as much energy on protecting their cds. Plus, I'm broke and free always wins at the end of the day (usually).

This Blog: not so funny. Feel Free to Ignore (except for you, MP3 Player Guy). (week 8)
Well, I guess I do like online learning. It's nice to be able to do this at my pace, where I want to, etc. Sometimes, though, it's nice to have someone to guide you when you're trying to learn something and reading something online just isn't enough. However, I haven't had that problem with this course yet.
I haven't had to really help anybody. Yes, I've answered a question here and there, but nothing taxing. Example:
Person asking question: "Hey, it's raining outside. Do you think if I turn on my computer to work on Learn 2.0, lightning can strike the library travel through the wiring and electrocute me?"
Me: Yeah, I like ponies too.
Honestly, though, everybody that I know is doing this hasn't had any problems with anything (I think. They've never told me at least).
As far as sharing is concerned: I'm for it. You know why? It's one of those few virtues that were put into rhyme which means it has to be important (sharing is caring). Seriously, sharing is cool because it means you can wait for your friends to buy things that you really like and then borrow it from them. No, seriously seriously, sharing is cool at work because we can all help each other by sharing info and stuff. In turn, our patrons get better service from us. Good Times!
P.S. I'm sure you've probably heard this from 1 or 237 people, but I created my Flickr account, uploaded the pics, made them public and tagged them 101Central, but they don't come up when I do a tag search. Everybody else in my department is having this problem, except for those who already had Flickr accounts already.
