I checked the library Facebook and Twitter accounts this morning.  I have been steadily reading more of Building Social Web Applications.  I am learning about concepts like location and time in the context of social media as well as tagging and folksonomies.

I spent a little time at Barnes and Noble today.  I got a chance to look at a few books.  A book that looked very interesting was The Grand Tour: Around the World With The Queen of Mystery by Agatha Christie.
