games
played solitaire and runescape; was very surprised that neither game had any bandwidth problems. Expected runescape to be mindless finghting; amazing how they are ready for new players and work with you to get experience and succeed. I might even play again.

maps
used google maps many times to plan trips -- both short ones for meetings and longer vacations; used nearby function to find hotels and restaurants
have created an area map of libraries to see if helpful for reference

eaudio
able to search just fine, downloading is the rub; will take over an hour to download an average book at home; just another reason patrons need high speed access at the library
checked out -- Moon is a harsh mistress by Robert Heinlein
interface is easy, would like more details about each title; would be even nicer if they gave you an idea of download time before you checked out and started the download. Now if I want to bail on the download the item can't be checked back in.
looking forward to when overdrive goes live

podcasts
enjoyed npr's wait wait.. don't tell me -- democrats should get a grip and stop listening to negative ads
and listened obama's weekly radio address using itunes
had some trouble getting podcasts to play in explorer and firefox, needed more plug-ins; less trouble in itunes -- hope our stations work for the patrons using the web since they can't use itunes

Stephen Abraham -- real cool librarian
George Needham -- radical ideas for librarians/libraries
John Blyberg -- michigan's lost, but at least we can still read what he is doing
