Social Bookmarking
I created a deli.cio.us. account awhile ago, but I found that I wasn't using it. It seems like a good idea to keep bookmarks organized into folders, but I haven't used it.
I think social bookmarking is best used for individual use. Individuals can tag their own content and know how to access it. Without some kind of controlled vocabulary, people can tag sites with any terms that they want to. It can get rather messy very fast.
I have used some social bookmarking clouds on other sites. The TopChef recipe page, http://recipes.mt.bravotv.com/ , has a "Hot Tags" section which I think is pretty fun to use. It is definitely not a structured hierarchically or organized in a very meaningful way, but I like it because it allows me to browse and see what other people have tagged. It's a recreational, fun tool for me to use to browse recipes.

News story about bike commuting
I was interviewed on the local news about bike commuting. I bike 3 times a week. It's six miles from my house and it takes me 40 minutes, but it's a nice ride.
I hate watching myself on tv. I'm no Sarah Palin (thank goodness for that though). Here's a link to the story: http://www.komu.com/satellite/SatelliteRender/KOMU.com/ba8a4513-c0a8-2f11-0063-9bd94c70b769/2c852a45-80ce-0971-011d-08a1dd47133f

Lifelong Learning - Thing 1
I think "viewing problems as challenges" and not as crises is important, but I tend to be in crisis mode too much of the time.
I'm pretty good at goal setting, and I think this will be an important strategy to stick to in learning new things. However, I want to be flexible enough to learn things that I hadn't exactly planned on learning along the way.

Morning Report blog?
I'm thinking about starting a blog for Morning Report in Child Health. I know that other librarians have done this, but I'm wondering if there are restrictions as to what I can include in the blog. I would obviously not include patient names, but how specific can I be in descriptions of patients? Are age, sex, diagnosis acceptable? Do I need to get institutional approval to do this?
