My absolute favorite exercise was Flickr and learning how to blog with photos. I really enjoyed all the amazing pictures people have posted. I'm looking forward to sharing my own pictures now that I have a digital camera.
I thought this program's format was conducive to my learning style. I find it easier to learn and finish things when I have other people helping and learning along with me.
I probably would sign up again if SPL offered another program in the future particularly if my coworkers signed up as well. We had fun reading and commenting on each other's blogs. I'm glad I completed all 23 things as I doubt I would have discovered them on my own.

LibriVox
I had never heard of LibriVox before but I think their goal is admirable. Using volunteers to read books is smart although you would have to have the time and inclination for it. I don't really listen to audiobooks myself, in the car is too distracting for me and elsewhere I would just read a book. For the few audiobooks I have listened to the voice of the narrator really made a difference in my enjoyment of them. This seems like a temporary solution for our patrons until we can subscribe to a site that has new audiobooks.
Firefly Podcast
Using the library's headphones I managed to listen to part of a podcast. The one I picked was called Firefly Talk. The podcast was all about Joss Whedon's canceled show Firefly and his movie Serenity. I admit to watching the show when it was on and liking it. However the people who do this podcast are on an unparrelled level of obsession. All they talked about was getting the show back on the air and whether there is going to be a sequel to the movie. I know a fair amount of people who enjoy podcasts so I should probably go back and explore more. I would probably enjoy an NPR podcast or something similiar.
