I've been in overdrive all week!



Status: 94% zombie, 2% perk, 4% unaccounted for

School visits are over!

23 presentations in 3 days, and almost 1,000 teens.

Wow...

Now it's time to take a breath and get back to work on all of this web 2.0 stuff.

I tried to use Overdrive here at work, but am getting an error message. I know it works at home, so I'll listen to a couple of things there. I used it a while back to listen to a book with my son, and it worked quite nicely.

As always, I'm a bit more interested in the music portion of this service. Music on the brain, I guess! I like audio books all right, but am much more likely to listen to some of the music Overdrive offers - especially the newer things that have just been added. Right now I have Tiesto and The Clumsy Lovers checked out (and if this blasted thing worked here today I'd be able to listen while I get caught up). I'm happy to see the selection of music growing broader than just classical. It's an interesting collection of artists, too! Seems like a good way to "test run" some music and find out if you like it.

I think it's unfortunate that Overdrive doesn't work with iPods and macs - hopefully that will be taken care of in the future!

Well - I'm still swamped and pretty tired from the first part of the week. Time to keep forging ahead!
