Big Brown Wins the Preakness

I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.

Barbaro on You Tube

This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:

Secretariat's Belmont Race

Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:

More thoughts on Wikis

I have been reading some other blogs for our Library 2.0 and see there are concerns that editing is a big part of Wikis. Some of you don't want any tampering of your Wiki entry. On my Wiki page referred to in a previous post, it's interesting that no one has edited it in the way one thinks. However, whenever I have been "stuck" with an editing problem or post, one of the other users have gone to my Wiki and fixed it for me because I noted I was having a problem. I can look at their entries and see how they have entered information. It is different from blogging in that individuals can comment on your blog but not add content. I will definitely keep up with this as we go beyond the 23 Things.

On another note, I am finding that I have to look back as I move forward in these exercises because it takes practice and review to keep building (and not forgetting!) what we are learning here.
