Week 3, Things 5-7


I've been amazed at just how easy it has been to use blogger and flickr. I shoulda tried this stuff long ago!

I opened a Flickr account and here is the first picture I uploaded. This is Victor...AKA the Palomino Piglet...Saucicon...Victor/Victoria.

Thing #7 asks us to post a few thoughts that relate to technology. I"m too worn out today to be creative, so I'll lift my answer right out of the 23 Things:

I like digital cameras because it's much easier to share photos and especially
now that I have Flickr account!

When I re-charge, I am going to accept my worker Crystal's challenge and make my own trading card.

Week 2, Thing 3: Set up your blog

Done! I had started up another blog but decided to keep that for my own use, so I set up this one up just for the 23 Things. So, this post is a bit tardy.

Suprisingly easy to do. Very fun to customize. The colors on this blog will probably change as much as my hair!

Week 1, Thing 2 Assignment

I am participating in a program called 23 Things. Completion of this program propels laggers like myself into the world of web 2.0. The first assignment is to start adopting the 7.5 habits of highly successful lifelong learners and to create and sign a contract of things I want to take from this program. The contract identifies the habits that will be easiest and most difficult to maintain. The most difficult habit for me is #3: View problems as challenges. I tend to view problems as a function of being too dense not have figured it out earlier. Easiest habit is begin with the end in mind. I can definitely think up ideas. It's the execution that trips me up. And of course 7.5: Play, is a habit I have no problem with adopting!So... my web 2.0 journey has begun.
