YouTube/Google Video

I'm mind boggled by all of the things that are on the internet nowadays. Ever wonder why it is so easy for identities to be stolen?

I'm not sure I would use YouTube or any of these types of sites since I do like some semblance of privacy. I might use them if I can password it for just family and friends and I'm sure that is an option. I just haven't delved that far into it yet.

For my exercise, I chose to revisit Tucson, Arizona. I spent three summers there while taking classes for my master's degree in Info Resources and Library Science from the U of A. I really enjoyed Tucson even though it was blazing hot. It is just a whole different atmosphere and I love the saguaros! http://www.flickr.com/photos/7298460@N03/3396899427/

Here is a video from YouTube of a tour through Sabino Canyon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dqPNSOmUG8

and another of the renovations at San Xavier Del Bac Mission

What I think is wonderful about the internet and 2.0 tools like YouTube, Flickr, etc is that I have an opportunity to visit places via video and photos that I will probably never get to see in this lifetime. I find that very valuable, on a personal as well as educational level.
