Initially I had no idea what to blog about concerning technology. The sky is the limit! Then I thought of my love-hate relationship with my Mac computer.
A few months ago my husband and I decided it was time for a desktop (stationary) computer. He suggested we go with a Mac, whereas I, the "Windows loving girl" didn't want anything to do with a Mac. I was afraid of adapting, of changing from what I was so accustomed to using. I'm positive that many people in society feel this way when needing to adapt to technology. While working public library a few years ago, we changed library software. Our staff was very reluctant and it took almost an entire year to fully adjust.
In the end, my husband won (it doesn't happen too often ;) and we bought the Mac. Other than the immediate problems and shlepping it back and forth to the Mac store, I do like my Mac (just not the customer service Mac provides). My work computer functions with a Windows operating system (a PC). I highly doubt my library will switch over to Macs, at least not in the near future.
I suppose learning the Mac wasn't all that bad...just don't tell my husband ;)

I learned on Macs first and then switched to PC for my current school. I really love what Macs can do for photos. iMovie, iTunes, iPods, and Garage Band are so cool! It's easy to make a podcast too. I think we are going to have to do a podcast for this class and you will have a real advantage on your Mac!!
Thanks for the tip Andromeda! I do love all the things my Mac can do with media. I'm finally comfortable enough to use what it can offer me! Thanks for checking out my blog!
yes, the new Mac operating system allows for PCs; who do you see as applications for the image tools you explored?
Who would use the image tools? I would expect to see students and teachers using these tools as well as those who share a love for photography whether professional or simply as a hobby.
For those who keep a blog for professional reasons, this website is also helpful. Through the image tools, I plan to create a collage of summer reading pictures for my patrons to share on my library blog and our library's Facebook page. The possibilities are endless!
