The final thing, Thing #23

Dr. Seuss would be proud! We managed to proudly make 23 of his things...hmmm my bad they are quite different aren't they...Well on a happier note then, I would have to say that my favorite part of this whole process has been the image editors. I LOVED the trading card thing, and feel like we should have all the staff make a card and put out our own trading card set, or even better make a game out of it. Given the right ideas, it could be awesome fun and something we could let the kids play at the branches! Most of the program was pretty well done for individuals with no experience with online tools. Yes, I am putting myself high on that list of known tools (Ya wanna fight about it?) . But I will still walk away with alot of new things that I will continue to use, like RSS and google doc's :). But all in all, it was very fun and exiciting to play along. There really isn't much I could change to improve it though, I am a computer person so of course this stuff should be known to me, and given the chance I would still participate because even though we may have mastered some things, there is always room for improvement, somewhere down the line someone will use something you've not seen used in that manner and it will provide you with a whole new way to do alot more information. Take word for example, learning about the wildcard characters in the replace function I was able to edit several hundred pages of documents in a matter of minutes (rearranging information for an associate so that they were listed as name records and didn't contain all the pointless information that was also in the records) This process used to take him weeks, and with my help, it takes only a few hours (after all you need to verify the information changed is correct still) but I'm babbling now, good luck everyone!
