. . . because it sounds better than digital scrapbooking?
I thought that's what personal, not-selling-anything websites were all about. Now it's a lot easier, at least.
This could be great for library publicity people. And I have a very good idea of just how time consuming it is. :)

Thing 37: Photo Tales
I already posted a slideshow and made a thing with captions. Wasn't the cat thing in the last one roflbot? For photo editing, I've finally conquered layer masking in PSElements, and am teaching the Camera 101 people PhotoShop Express.
I pay SmugMug for photo hosting since they're the only ones who promise to print my photos to AdobeRGB spec without any modifications. Admittedly, making sure it happened was a challenge as they assume only professional photographers want that, and they hid the option in the photo sales pricing.
So far, I haven't needed any photos from outside sources. :)

Thing 42: Music 2.0
Music on the internets! Wow, that one's old news. My husband RAN out to buy an HD radio just for The Morning Show, so we don't use the internet for it.
If I listened to lots of music, I'd probably really like the Music Genome Project and the Hype Machine.
Nine sites for lyrics, and all of them came up when I clicked except lyrics.com! I am surprised. However, I'm more entertained by The Archive Of Misheard Lyrics.
"THE MISHEARD: Might as well face it, you're a d**k with a glove
Real Lyric: Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
Artist Robert Palmer
Song Addicted To Love
The story:
I thought that it was a song about Michael Jackson and I asked a friend if he had heard this song. He had me recite the lyrics. He laughed at me for days."
Some of the misheard lyrics make more sense than the originals!
As for various audio players, a friend gave me a whole stack of MP3 audiobooks burned to cd, so my next project is to convert them to regular cd files -- my car doesn't have a jack for an MP3 player, and the radio tuner units
are pretty bad.
Actually the NetLibrary audiobooks require incredible ingenuity to explain and help people with, much more than any internet radio or music source. Internet radio broadcasts will become hugely popular whenever the internet is as reliable and available as radio waves.
