Just learning how the structure of the wiki works. Just for fun, I've created a new section and am moving some of the other created pages here - for now. Have fun moving stuff around yourselves, if you'd like.

-------------------
To help alleviate the madness at work I am always looking for a bit of humor to add to webpages, presentations, flyers, etc and I came across this blog containing all sorts of sayings and quotes. Have fun!

Here is a different way to look at new fulltext technology.


Monks adapt to the latest technology.


The "Book" was at one time a new & disruptive technology, just call Norske tech support…

Since this is the fun page I thought I would contribute something a bit off focus. I stumbled across a medical students blog where he posted several online games that help with practicing/learning surgery virtually. Take a look.

A different kind of fun.

Some of you may have seen these on Starz. Animated shorts of bunnies re-enacting various films. They also have an interview with a bunny actor on the experience. They're fun, 30 seconds, and a great break during a hectic day. Enjoy!

Angry Alien Productions

Another different kind of fun. Give yourself a makeup and try different kind of hairstyles. Share your new look with your friends. This is really fun, but don't go crazy! More click here.

Since it's almost Easter and Peeps are in all the stores, I thought I'd post a link to the famous Peeps Research website fromStaley Library at Millikin University.

For dog lovers...I didn't think it exactly fit on the therapy dogs page so I put it here: NOVA working dogs slide show.

For a different kind of fun: a link to TED. Listen to speeches given by some of the world's most innovative leaders and thinkers. Always interesting.

I guess everyone has a different definition of fun.
For me, at work, this website was fun and worthwhile. (Of course, away from work I am defintely more frivilous!)
Have you seen: http://www.freerice.com ?
For every vocabulary word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Hunger Program.
Not bad, I'd say!

Librarians in Popular Culture
I thought this entry in wikipedia was a fun little way to waste some time. It has to do with librarians in movies, toys, television, and literature...
