Thing 16 - Geotagging

I have geotagged two images that I took while traveling.

Thing 15 - Podcasts

Podcasts are great! I have used iTunes to subscribe to The Tony Kornheiser show and also really enjoy Car Talk from NPR.

Thing 14 - Research Project Calculators

I had no idea these tools were available. It sounds like a good resource for people that need help organizing deadlines and work or require assistance on large research projects. Similar to Microsoft Project - but it actually helps to populate information for you. Very cool! I will remember this for my next large research project, whether at work or school.

Thing 13 - Online Productivity Tools

I've been using iGoogle for at least a year now and love it. All news updates and other information is available on any computer as soon as I log into google - it's great. I've also been using google calendar - which is user friendly and easy to use. It also syncs to my phone so I can view my schedule no matter where I am.

I am going to try the to-do lists at work! I always write things on post-its and it creates a big mess on my desk. For personal lists, I make them on my phone - but I haven't been able to figure out the best way to manage them at work. I'm excited to give it a try.

Thing 12 - Tagging and Del.icio.us

16Things taught me another thing about blogging today! Tagging blogs was very simple and would make blogging life very easy by allowing one to add labels to each entry.

I've always wondered if there is a way to transport your bookmarks around with you - Del.icio.us is great! It makes bookmarks portable and reviewable.

Thing 11 - Online Creations

It's great to know these tools are out there - I actually had no idea! I used a random generation of pictures on flickr to create the below badge.
