One more on Podcasting Greg pointed out (thanks, Greg! I'm still learning...) that I didn't quite create a podcast - there's one more step involved. Apparently, with Blogger (my blog is hosted on Blogger), the RSS file Blogger spews forth is missing the essential ingredient that makes true podcasting work... and that's an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosure tags (Blogger creates Atom feeds). RSS 2.0

MindMapping Software I have started playing around with mind mapping software, and I have to say - it's pretty cool! I was familiar with the concept on paper, but wanted to play with a software version. And I found one! It's called FreeMind , and it's FREE (I love open source!). What can you do with FreeMind? Well, I'm currently working on rough drafts of outlines for my Computers in Libraries
