L-Shaped Computer Desk

This desk was bought so that we could turn my daughter and her fiance's second bedroom into an office/craft space. Like most apartments, theirs is short on space, so we were looking for a desk that would fit into a corner, and one that we could dedicate to both activities, and be flexible enough to hold whatever materials they needed in that room. And, we thought maybe that my daughter MIGHT share part of it with her fiance....But that remains to be determined!

First of all, it was delivered VERY promptly! The delivery person brought it upstairs to her apartment, and left it outside her door, so she didn't have to bring it up on the elevator! Thank you, anonymous delivery person.  It wasn't that hard to get the box into the second bedroom, and once she opened the box, daughter decided that she could put this together on her own! 

She said that it was fairly easy to put together. The instructions were clear, and the biggest problem was that tightening screws underneath the desk was a bit awkward. She said that the screws were "soft" and she almost stripped a few while making sure that they were tight, so be advised and be careful. 

The desk has reinforcing bars that make it sturdy, and the feet can be adjusted for uneven floors, so it is strong, but not huge and bulky. 



 It went together pretty quickly, and she was happy that she could do it all by herself!! 


This desk is large -- almost 5 feet long and 19 inches wide.  It really fills the corner, and gives her lots of room to leave the sewing machine, laptop and papers out, and still have room to work. 



I like the clean, modern lines, and it fits into the room nicely. For the price, this desk is just what we needed in a small NY city apartment, and since it was delivered right to our door, it was an easy purchase, too. I bought it on Amazon, (https://www.amazon.com/L-Shaped-Computer-Desk-Assemble/dp/B083FGDKY8/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=l+shaped+gaming+desk) so I was able to get free shipping, too!

Thing 6 - Curation!

Curation! was the title of Joyce Valenza's keynote address and workshop at the 2012 NYLA/SSL Conference, and she introduced the word to hundreds of librarians in one swoop! I have to admit, I was feeling pretty self-satisfied at the time; after all, I had a fat and happy Delicious file, full of handy sites for all occasions. Why, I even searched for useful links through Delicious, adding and sharing with colleagues. Now I see that I am like the old librarian who collects hundreds of back issues of magazines, certain that they will "come in handy some day!". Curation is so much more of a Web3.0 tool: creating web content more than gathering it. So I gave Scoop.It another try. Diigo had scared me away with its daily updates in my email, and Pinterest is my guilty pleasure/personal-rather-than-educational site. I began following other Scoop-ers, three topics, and added a button to my toolbar. I even connected it to my Twitter feed, so that I can post Scoops there...

Thing 7: Podcasting and Screencasting

I am afraid that I approached this Thing with a little less enthusiasm than I should. You see, I am familiar with, and love ScreenR, ever since it helped me publish ALL of the 3rd graders' Blabberize Biography projects on one, easy to view page . I tried AudioBoo this week, as a test for an upcoming project: listen to ‘Test’ on Audioboo I am excited about the project, but not about AudioBoo. The students will be recording Book Reviews, and we will try to link them to the Online Library Catalog. With AudioBoo, they can only post one picture. Last year we used GarageBand to record reviews with 4th graders, and the result was less than satisfactory. The students spent more time struggling with the technology than they did learning about the book, or enjoying the project. The process strangled the project. We have decided this year to go low-tech, and use PhotoStory for this project. The students can post a few pictures about the book (the teacher wants 5 or mo...

Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-itch Dog Shampoo

This winter has been tough on our little pups; the bitter cold outside and dry heating inside have dried out their coats and fur. Most shampoos clean, but we found one with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera that also softens and soothes.      I love the description on the back of the bottle - it sounded like just the shampoo we needed. But then, they all claimed to work, and all they did was clean surface dirt.  But I have to say that I am impressed; the shampoo smells great (one pup even tried to taste it!) and it lathers well. We haven’t had a chance to try more than once in the test period, but so far it seems to deep-clean better, and to soothe the flakey skin. Pups are not only clean, but softer! She may not look like it here, but Kenzie feels so much better, now that her skin isn't dry and itchy, and her coat is soft and clean. It washed away the dandruff on  other doggies, and worked well on all types of coats. ZestyPaws makes a conditioner, too,...
