The web 2.0 site that I found by looking under jobs was really neat. You just searched for the category of job that you were interested in and give the location you needed. The site provided you with a list of jobs in your community that were open in that category. This would be a nice tool for the new job services that we are going to open shortly. The site was called careerbuilder.com

I found delicious to be an interesting and helpful site. One of my hobbies is wood carving and I found a whole list of sites to explore. I will certainly make personal use of this web site.
Some thoughts about twitter. I can't see why in the world I would want to post my activity all the time. Unless I was doing something really unusual I would not think that anyone would be interested. It looks like a good site for children to play on.

I have been reading about "twitter" and I have decided to post a little bit about my interests. I am interested in music especially playing the piano and organ. My other main hobby is woodcarving. A group of fellows meets every week to carve all sorts of things. I prefer caricatures for my carvings. I have been doing this for three years. My best work is a couple of Father Christmas carvings from cypress knees.

Every other week I take piano lessons at a nearby university. It is not for college credit, but just for my own edification and for playing at church occassionally. I play all sorts of music from classical to modern jazz.
I liked the library thing blog, but I could not get it to give me a suggested list. I posted at least twenty preferences and still it did not give me anything. However, the places that I could brouse for book titles especially the U. of Michigan was very helpful.

I like the weather web site. It gives you the big picture on the weather as well as the local temperature and 10 day forcast.
