Twitter

Who is on Twitter? I could not find anyone I knew except Tallman. So if you happen to be reading this and you need someone to twitter with, let me know.

Twitter also appeared to be having technical difficulties...I could not edit my profile, none of my pictures would load, and they were unable to compare my address book against their directory, so I was unable to see easily who was a twitter member. I will have to try again later...

Here's a link to my twitter homepage: http://twitter.com/ancientcoinguru

Second Life

Second Life is lots of fun, but I must admit I felt rather guilty playing a video game at work! But this is a wonderful way for library to reach out to gamers, and draw them into the library world. This software does require a fairly new graphic card (my home PC is a 2005 XP, and SL kept shutting down my PC, since the graphic card could not handle the software). But I liked SL so much, that I upgraded my graphics card.

Roman historical mysteries

I enjoy reading historical mysteries set in ancient Rome. A good resource for this genre is "The Detective and the Toga," at http://histmyst.org. This website aims to be the complete guide to mysteries set in ancient Roman times, and includes novels and short stories in english and foreign languages.

You will also find links on this site to guides on ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Medievel mysteries.
