Like I said, I like reading author logs, especially of favorite authors. I'm not gonna search for any, but I will read one if a new book is coming out. After looking at author blogs, I came across and interesting one. Printz winner John Green (An Abundance of Katherines, Looking for Alaska) has made a pact with his brother Hank to only communicate through video for a year! Brotherhood 2.0
The following is a video made by a fan imagining what the opening credits to Brotherhood 2.0 would be if it was an 80s sitcom.
(Oh yeah, consider this my Thing #20)
Can you imagine? No email or snail mail. They've created this blog to keep in touch through YouTube videos and made it public. Funny (if not completely stupid) stuff. But, you see, that's what's so crazy about the web. With cellphone cameras and 50GB hard drive, amazing (in pretty dumb things) are available to all at the click of a mouse.

Deliciorati
Thing #13 & #14
Okay so I feel a wee guilty that I started this web 2.0 journey a while ago and haven't finished. But I must say I've had fun tagging. I added my del.icio.us and tagging icons to my browser, and enjoy adding websites to this often. I think it's great because now when I find a great website at home, I don't have to email the link to my work email. I can just upload it.
I've included my tag cloud in my side nav. And I anticipate changing it often.
As for Technorati
No offense but reading others blogs doesn't appeal to me (unless it's an favorite or YA author ). I enjoy reading about our shared experience, but other people...fuhgeddaboudit. Now I did check out some author blogs through technorati, but there are other sites that list them as well. Once again, another username and password site, I could do without.
