The two blogs that I choose were:
The NEKLS Technology Weblog is a blog from the Northeast Kansas Library System. It is a blog about technology in the Northeast Kansas Library System, but a lot of it would pertain to libraries in general. I choose this blog because it contained a lot of interesting and useful postings about how technology, in particular Internet technology, is impacting and shaping the services libraries provide. Some postings that attracted me were Reading Online vs. Reading Books: Is there a difference? discussing a New York Times article comparing online and book reading; Gaming and School Libraries, which has links to articles about the controversial topic of gaming in libraries; and Using RSS and Z39.50 to Find Books Your Library Doesn’t Have… Yet. which discusses and links to a blog post by a librarian that wrote a perl program that would search his online catalog and create an RSS feed of new items in the library so he could be one of the first people to get a hold on an item. Something like this might come in handy because the RSS feeds for new items on our online catalog at the Juneau Public Library don't really work yet.
The NEKLS Technology Weblog is helpful for my work at the Library because it is a way to keep informed of current issues and the latest technology. I definitely would continue to visit this blog because there are many interesting posts in the archives as well as current posts I would like to subscribe to with a RSS feed aggregator.
The blog I chose for personal interest was PSHERO . PSHERO is a blog consisting of photoshop tutorials. This is a very nicely designed website with some very good photoshop tutorials. The posts that caught my attention were creating text with stitches and creating complex repeating patterns . There are also posts reviewing photoshop books. I have bookmarked this site and would use it as a reference for future photoshop projects.
