Week #4 - Thing #8

I have learned what RSS feeds are and I setup my very own Bloglines newsreader account. I have found the tutorial on the 23 things page very helpful. I need to go back there and review how to add my blog to my Bloglines page. There is a lot to learn and I intend to learn as much as I can.

Week #3 - Thing #7

I am interested in Ipods and Itunes. I have an Ipod that I enjoy. I can listen to my favorite songs anytime. I also have an Ihome that I use with my Ipod. An Ihome is a devise used to listen to the Ipod without headphones. The Ihome also is an alarm clock. Itunes is a program used to keep all your music on the computer. You need Itunes to add your music to the Ipod.

Experimenting with flickr!

Week #3 - Thing #6

I have enjoyed Flickr mashups, made a trading card with a water background of my favorite vacationing spot in Maine. I had trouble sending it to flickr. Somehow I lost it during the process. I will explore this site again later and maybe this time I will be able to add it to this blog.

About Hobbs

We adopted Hobbs almost 6 years ago from a no kill shelter in PA. He was in the shelter for at least 6 months before we adopted him, he is 7 years old now. He is a really nice dog and we are happy to have him.

Week 3 - Thing #5

I just started exploring Flickr, signed up yesterday. I have a lot more exploring to go when I find the time. Flickr looks like a sight that I will use a lot. Taking pictures from my digital camera is what I do most. I usually sent them to Ritz for developing. I added a few pictures to my blog, Hobbs is my dog!

Week #2 - Blogging

Thing #3 - Setting up my very own Blog was fun but I have a lot to learn. When I find more time I will do my best to spruce things up a bit by adding photos, art, etc.

Thing #4 - Registered my blog today, June 15th.

Week #1 - 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning

The hardest habit for me is having confidence in yourself as a competent and effective learner. I used to think that I was pretty computer savvy, but as I can see technology surpassed me. I really enjoyed the Technology fair and I hope to have lots of fun with the 23 steps.

The easiest habit for me is view problems as challenges. Everyone has problems of some sort and if you think of them as challenges to overcome you will learn and grow wiser, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Week #1 - Introduction

I read the introduction and I am very excited to be participating in the learning 2.0 (23 things). I am starting just a tad late, but hopefully I will catch on quickly. This is my first blog so if anyone has any decorating suggestions please feel free to help out.
