Google Alerts

I caught up with the things Saturday afternoon. Just before hurrying out for the last half hour on the floor I signed up for Google Alerts and Social Mention and checked out Addictomatic. I was impressed that Addictomatic pulled up so many things about our neighborhood right away. I was even more impressed when I checked my email this morning and Google Alerts alerted me to the fact that someone had "helpfully" posted what she thought were the coming week's events at our library. Unfortunately, she had picked up June, not July events. There is no puppet show or museum-sponsored craft program this week. I posted a correction and am hoping we won't have a lot of unhappy kids showing up for a nonexistent puppet show on Wednesday.

  1. I started a wiki with PBWorks to keep track of my vegetable garden, what I'm planting, harvesting, pulling out and so on. frontyardvegetables.pbworks.com

    Didn't have time to get a lot done there today, but it could be useful if I remember to post my notes. My neighbor bought seeds & planned her garden with me, so perhaps we can share notes there.

    This is what happens when the library system closes on Mondays: I get different stuff done.
