which picks you up and transports you with little control on a chaotic ride to places unknown.
What a crazy ride! This experience has been also a little like a roller coaster and it has been a journey full of descriptives! Here are a few I managed to experience on this exercise: frustrating, engaging, addictive, enraging, soporific, ecstatic ... but I'll stop there. I started this activity wondering where it was going to take me. The social networking sites I think personally I wouldn't bother with in the future, but I found each new activity opened a door into a new discovery and exciting possibility. It was an inventive scheme to "jump start" somewhat reluctant colleagues into the new era. In the last few weeks I found that internet connectivity issues were causing a lot of problems. Everything seemed to slow down to a crawl, or not work properly; and I must confess that there were times when I wondered if it was all worthwhile. Now I've completed it, I will probably go back to some of the websites for a more timely exploration, but I probably won't become addicted to some of this stuff.
Engari ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke, kua whakaotihia e au. (But despite the ups and downs, I've completed it.)
The music says it all: "Last post"

How to Make Maps
"About 80% of the data [collected] in the world is related to some place on the earth's surface," says Jim Gillispie, head of the Government Publications/Maps/Law Library (GPML). Jim talks with Andrea Bartelstein about ArcGIS, mapping software that enables users to analyze geospatial data and create their own custom designed maps. "Maps are not about answering your questions, but [...] giving you all the details for you to ask more questions of the map. What's kind of neat is you get to choose what components you want to bring to the map."
