Oops, missed # 11 LibraryThing
I know many of the librarians are crazy about this site; they should be it works for them. But personally it did nothing for me.

#23 The End
I am asked to answer some questions and put in my two cents concerning this program.
1. I did it for the mp3 player (consider me shallow); but also to try and see my adult childrens world and get into it, even for a little while.
2. My favorites discoveries were the last; the podcast, and archive for ebooks, but which could also be read online.
3.Now that I started into the 21st century ideal of reading exploration, I think I will run over to myspace and join my children in any of my pursues there ( it is more me and less work).
4. Unexpected outcomes-'don't think' so; got to where I want to be and did what I had to preform.
5.Improve the program-well I felt that I was simply uploading items to prove I got there; with the stringent timeframe I could not explore; maybe make it a year long project. I know many don't want to do it because there is a DEADLINE.
6. Lastly, I have learned, if nothing else that I DON'T need to know EVERYTHING.
My true journey is with my family, friends, and my harp "Shamus".

#22 American Library Archive
This one is great, I love the Archive.org-found a book entitled "The Illustrated War News Volume 15, Nov 18, 1914-alsome for historical info. Also "Manual of Egyptian Archealogy" very technical, some place you could go to see how REAL archealogist do it.

#21 Podcasts
Podcast.net was not interesting; Podcastalley had more of what I would be looking for; people playing folk harp. This would be good to teach different instruments and what pedal harp and celtic and folk harp sound different

Staying connected to family may mean taking a step back-in time even-and letting yourself play with your kids.
Learning to use history for a lifetime of learning
Here are titles of some books I have used to study the Gettysburg Campaign: Pickets Charge by George R. Stewart dated 1959, use of First Person reports VERY good. Gettysburg-Balttle & Battlefield by W. C Storrick, was a participant of the battle as well as one of the first 'guides' of the field, poor source, in as he relates many of the myths of the battle..; Three Months in the Southern States by Lt. Col Arthur J. L Fremantle, with the Southern side as ' the eyes and ears of Queen Victoria' wonderful perspective of the southern side; and he continued to welcome southerns in England for years to come.
Knowing the author
This was my son's first published book. In working with him I learned the ins and outs of self publishing, writing, and rewriting, and rewriting; but the reward of working with him has been 'priceless'. Interested visit amazon.com for a copy of this book
