RSS

Ok, Irmgarde was over my shoulder walking me through this. I did bloglines but found that is not the way I want to do this. I would much rather work my RSS feeds through internet explorer. I already have a my msn page which gives me information from msn. I will add my RSS feeds to my internet explorer and click on them as I want to view them.

Thanks Irmgarde. Oh, and while I am at it thanks to Annette for sitting with me last week working through some of this stuff.

Technology

I have always been one of the last kids on the block to get the latest in technology. Took me time to convert from 8 track to cassette and even longer to convert to CD. But once I get on board I love being there.

All these social networking sites are suppose to create interaction, sharing and community. So again the last kid on the block I am not there yet. I find my interaction, sharing and community is done in my home around the dinner table, on my cell phone either talking or txting, at the office, face to face or through email, out to dinner with friends or events such as wine festivals, sports events or a great dinner with great friends. Now some technology is woven into these exchanges but I am slow in bridging this world, not afraid just slow.

Flickr

I found Flickr to be full of fun things to do with pictures. It has many more elements than say Kodak Gallery. I use KG for getting pictures developed but want to utilize Flickr for its sharing capacity.

Life Long Learning

Life Long Learning. What does that mean. I just reviewed the 7 1/2 habits and found the goal setting, attitude and PLAY! as the most relevant. To me learning is just there. It is the attitude you have towards life. Whether you set goals, specific or broad, we are always learning. It is about being open to what comes your way. Now if you have a specific thing you need to do, then set the goal, put a plan into action, have a great attitude and PLAY! Now, for me, doing this 23 Things has been a total stress and what did I learn from that??? Uggh! Come see me if you want to know. I just wonder will anyone read this....
