Week 6, thing #14, online image generators

This was the "funnest" thing yet. I like The Generator Blog, thinks like Romance Novel Yourself, Emergency Excuse and Talking Photo. Link: http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/

Lego Dude is also way "reasonably clever"! Link: http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mm2/mini2.swf

Week 6, #12 Tweet on Twitter

Here is the link to my twitter homepage:

As for my experience, sorry, it's not for me.
It really seems self-indulgent for the most part.
Right off the bat, I don't see anyone I need to be getting tweets from.
I can see how my little cousins would find it cool though.

Week 5, thing 11(?) finding feeds

I like Topix.net, certainly I personally could RSS to any topic ie. diet, or for the library, ie. bestseller lists, specific authors, etc. Technorati also looks easy to use. Many sites weren't inviting at first glance. Of course this is all great if someone is assigned to task of monitoring the results, otherwise they're just piling up unread...
Cheers

Week 5, thing #10, RSS and Newsreaders

Setup Google Reader, subscribed to 2 of our WPL bloggers and to Oshawa PL and KFPL. Had a look, saw some cute links, probably won't have time to visit again anytime soon.
Cheers

Week 3, Thing #6, Flickr photo

Finally, here it is (sigh).

Week 2, Thing #6 Setting up a Blog Post

Well that was remarkably easy (ha ha -- added later). However, I still have absolutely no desire to blog in my personal time. Or even to read anyone else's blogs. We have so may option for getting our information, don't we? Blogs are not at the top of my list yet.

Week 2, Thing #4 7 1/2 Habits....

The habit that is easiest for me is habit #1: begin with the end in mind. Simple; what is my goal? Here, it is to finish this assignment on time, and to learn something about these technologies in the process.
The habit that is the hardest for me is habit 7 1/2 : play. In the parametres of doing this while I'm at the branch, just doing the minimum requirements is challenging enough. If I were to play, I'd have to do it on my own time, which of course, is already spoken for with other things.
It's all good though; home, family, pets, hobbies, and so on. We all have to decide where our "play" energy is going to go, right? For me, I think some ceramics painting, dog walking and "Wackie Stackie" are in my immediate future.
Cheers
