Task 13 - Sound Effects/Free Stuff - CHECK!
Back to webolutionizing, yeehaw! Sound snap was a pretty good time. I thought it was rather addicting, because one sound makes you think of another, or the descriptions do, and you just keep searching and giggling, because most are comical in some way. Maybe it's just because its like 10 seconds of totally out of context noise, or maybe it's just me. I searched for "train", "cat", "screech", "laugh", "eating", "applause", and "jingle". Jingle took me to Christmas which took me to Thugs Christmas--which, don't you see what I mean?--is just funny. Also, the descriptions for most are chuckle worthy--for example, one for eating was described as "subtle wet chewing and gulping." Ew. I did not listen to that one. I've been trying to think of how this could be applicable to the library webpage...and can't come up with any stellar applications. Curious to see what other people think. The rest of the task isn't really meant for me. For the Pandora task, I discussed how I'm kind of indifferent to music, as in it doesn't particularly interest me and 9 times out of ten, I'd prefer silence. So looking for free music isn't really very exciting. I don't think I'll be "digging new artists" anytime soon. I do appreciate free things, but like all free things, I kind of assume it's free for a reason, as in the quality suffers. I have checked out Jamendo, which is...well...okay, I guess. I didn't "discover" anything magical. I can understand why a lot of our patrons could be excited about using this stuff, though.
