Task #8 Creative Commons

Searched for images of horses and columbines in the Google Image and Flickr. A wide variety of images were presented. Patrons are always asking for pictures of a wide variety of objects to use in art projects and school reports. Using Google and Yahoo I also searched for information on earthquakes. Google led me directly to the USGS Earthquakes Hazard Program Site. It was fascinating to see how active the planet is - especially in California, Alaska, China, and Japan. This site lists earthquakes that have struck in the last seven day.

I didn't know that the Nine Inch Nail's album is licensed under CC. It it fascinating to see how many diferent arrangements creators can make in the distribution of their works. I was unfamiliar with most of the groups on this site. I especially enjoyed "Mind's Eye" by Celestial Aeon Projects.
