MP3 great for travelers!

I already have a great MP3 player (see previous post) but I am going to give my Learn 2.0 MP3 player to my lovely Mom. She is a audio book fanatic and she needs to start downloading some books. No tapes and cds to fumble around with on her trips. I know my luggage is lighter having an MP3 player!!

Digital music rights debate (sorry nothing travel related this time)

- Where do stand on the digital rights management debate? I feel that we should be able to copy material we own and be able to give to a friend. Maybe it would encourage them to purchase more cds or downloads from this artist. But I can see how this could get out of hand
Should media be offered with unrestricted rights or pay per use rights? Media should have restricted rights and if the band is popular enough should only be downloaded by paying for it.
Metallica or Napster? Neither, there not my bag baby.
Ipod or Etunes? Down with Ipod, I hate companies that take over a name for an item. Ipod is the Klenex of media players. (Do you want a Klenex? No I want Puffs please! :))
I personally own a Creative Zen vision M and it ROCKS!!

Solo trip to Denver

On 6/4 and 6/5 I went to Denver,CO for the second time. Last time I went to the Denver Zoo which was beautiful and Cherry Creek State Park which was adjacent to my hotel in Aurora. This time I was able to go into the Rockies. I highly recommend the tour company Gray Line tours. They will pick you up from your hotel if you are in downtown Denver or Central Denver. There are different tours, but I took the Denver Mountain Parks tour which is a 4 hour tour ($45) that goes to Dinosaur Ridge, Red Rocks Amplitheater and Lookout Mountain. Our tour guide was Ron King, I think he should have been named Joe King since he always had funny things to say.
It was very beautiful. If you are in Denver if you don't want to rent a car this is a great idea.
I can't wait to go back again. There is a more extensive tour that is 9 hours long and is $99 so next time I go I will probably go on this tour. The Rockies are magical and draw you in. I fell in love with them like many others before me. I definitely recommend this as a vacation destination. These pictures definitely don't do it justice.

Learning online

What started me creating this blog is a great program the Orange County Library System in Orlando,Fl has for its employees called Learn 2.0. I have been really enjoying this as you can tell from previous posts.
It's been great to see how all of us our helping each other out with our assignments, especially how to customize our blogs or understand some of the jargon in the lessons for Web 2.0 lite people like myself. I can see that I am becoming more informed about whats going on in the world of the internet and how we are what makes up the WWW. Especially how we are interconnected through the internet.

My next blog should be some information of my solo trip to Denver,CO with pics!
