MySpace does use a stylesheet.
I tried to add some of the code, but the blog kept trying to use it and it didn't work and messed up some other stuff. So I'm not going to provide the example here, but check out your your own myspaces (or is it your own spaces?) Tis there.

Assignment
Some notes on the assignment:
I couldn't get Zing to capture video because of my lack of sound. I used a program called CamStudio which is open source and makes sceen capture AVI's. I uploaded into YouTube because I already had a YouTube account.

This weeks readings and muddiest point (Sorry it's late!!)
How the Internet Works
It is pretty crazy how the networks are connected to incorporate every computer on the internet. I thought this article was really great, it explained some acronyms that I had known before, but not known their meanings. (ie POP) The article was really easy to follow at the beginning, but got a little heavy near the end.
Dismantling Integrated Library Systems
Everybody wants everything to be connected. Library systems are no different. It is important to note the shortcomings of your network and be able to connect to a system with better or different resources. As the authors pointed out though, the price of integrating these systems in enormous. I was very excited when we learned about open source library software in class, this article pointed out its fallback. It is difficult to link to other libraries, because they have to use the same network database. It is a huge decision to decide which Integrated system to use, hopefully we are headed toward a futre with highly compatible systems, so that individual libraries can use the program that suits their facility best, and still have access to networks on different systems.
Inside the Google Machine
My computer doesn't have a soundcard, so I wasn't able to experience the full effect of this. I'm going to try and get some headphones and get to the library this week so I can hear it. However, I was struck by the some of the comments related to the video. It is amazing how Google has really changed the world. The philanthropic and special interest programs created and endorsed by the company have done a lot to shape our view of the world. I am renting a house, and my landlord lives in California, before I ever saw the house in person I was able to view it on Google maps, and he was able to view my house the same way. It is a little creepy, but it gave us something to connect about and opened a different line of communication. (ie, you have a nice house, it looks like you've got a big yard, etc)
Muddiest Point
Cable Vs. DSL
Cable and DSL differ in that a cable connection is shared, so if 3000 people are watching TV while I am getting on the Internet, I can feel the results. DSL is not a shared line, but it goes through he phone lines. Do phone calls eat up bandwidth? Why can't cable provide the same private line capabilities? Etc Etc etc.
Explanation for lateness: I was fixing my computer and an anti-virus program was running until about 3 am, I fell asleep before I could complete the assignment, so I did it saturday morning. Sorry :(
