Feed me!


I used to use NewsGator and never never never checked it. So I love my igoogle rss feeds. Did I mention I love igoogle?

igoogle, yougoogle, we all google for...hmmm, that doesn't work does it?

Thing #7 - what interested me this week?
I have just set up my igoogle page. I (to steal Stephanie's word) luuuurve it!
Favorite part? Front and center is the Daily Show quote of the day. Jon Stewart, will you marry me?

YouTube was created by evil geniuses...

...who just want me to sit at my desk all day and watch videos. This wasn't my 1st visit to YouTube and it won't be my last.
My niece and nephew quote this idiotic video. I can't quite figure out why.
Welcome to Candy Mountain, Charlie!

Flickr Mashups


So, I'm going to post flickr mashups before flickr b/c I am having a few technical difficulties uploading my photos. (why is ritzpix being so evil??)
I used webmonkey.com, which has a list of the 10 best flickr mashups. The 1st I tried was Retrievr, where you can draw a picture on a sketchpad and it matches the closest pics from flickr. It was fun -- I have no idea why I would use it -- but it was cute. I entered 3 circles that ever so slightly looked like the snowman I was going for, and came up with this guy.
I also played with Captioner! which would be okay for maybe a gag gift or birthday card or something.
Flickrfling -- Wow. Not something I think I'll ever use again, but I can't believe people can create stuff like this.
Flickr Sudoku actually hurt my brain. I tried one with hamster images rather than the number 1-9. Sheesh, do I feel stupid.

Learning 2.0

I swear I'm gonna track my journey...if I could just stop saying "But what does that mean?"

7 1/2 habits

Easiest of the habits for me? "Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner." I think you can do anything you set your mind to. Hardest? "View problems as challenges." I don't know if very many people can do this. I know I don't. When faced with a crisis, do I generally think "All right! This is awesome. I am going to really learn from this!" Not likely. Hopefully, in hindsight, this happens, though.
