Heather mentioned flickr in a post so I thought I would pass on my flickr URL
http://flickr.com/photos/boonerator/

It was interesting to put on a Creative Commons licence. I have some family photos that should be private but anything else can be used. Along with the millions of other CC photos in flickr.

I have also been playing with Youtube.
Last summer, I went riding downtown with a group of bikers, here is part of the ride:

In October, I took some video on a great fall day in Victoria.

My videos seen to involve cycling mostly, watching me work on the computer or read is kind of boring...


What I find interesting is that flickr allows you to post, email a URL for your collection.
Youtube handles videos at the individual level, I cannot find a way to copy a URL for my collection of videos. Once you see a video from a user, you must click on the More from this user link.

Hello OA Librarians.
Heather asked me to provide a Blog address for the contributor section. I figured this one was the most general and shows some of my history with Blogger. I started one in 2002 but it had no readers at Camosun so I ended it.

I have used several blogs with my classes at Langara. LIBR 1111 is Introduction to Computers in Libraries so I have students comment on a post. In LIBR 2411 Advanced Computers in Libraries, students have done more work in Blogger. Although this year I have dropped that section because I want them to work in a wiki for a project.

Anyway, this is the blog I will maintain as a alerting, "Hey check this out" service for things that are not strictly OA topics.
