Thing 9 RSS feeds

Today I looked at Merlin and added it to my RSS feeds. Also looked at a few library sites and news sites. I like topix.net because I can choose cities from which I want news, and it is all media based with no blogs. I'v added a few cities of personal interest to my RSS feeds.

Thing 8 RSS

Last night I set up a Bloglines account. I added a few library sites to it and also some news sources. I don't expect to use it much but now I know what it means.

Thing 6 Photos -- mashup

I'm having fun using flickr. I've posted a few pictures to the public. I already use Snapfish for my personal photos but have never tried playing with it. This calendar page is an example of a mashup. I may do a whole year. Also will show my daughter how she can make calendars with photos of her toddler son.

Thing 5 Photos

I have started to photograph the flowers in my garden so I can look at them in winter. After uploading them to my computer, I decided to start a flickr account which fortunately was one of the things I needed to do for this project.

Thing 4 Blogging

My blog was registered in early June and I have set up a Tracking Form.

Thing 3 Blogging

I set up a blog and made a few posts.

Thing 2 Introduction II

I read/watched the slide show about the 7 + habits of life long learners. Using these ideas for the 23 things should help me accomplish my goal. The easiest habit for me will be keeping the end in mind. I do want to learn some of these new technologies. Also the MP3 player will let me use some of what I've learned.

The hardest habit for me is turning problems into challenges, though I think this is a great idea to work on in all areas of life.

Thing 1 Introduction

I read the blog and found out about the program. It will be a lot of work and most of it is beyond my interest level.

Restarting the 23 Things

Now that SRP is over, I'm ready to get down to business on these things. I want to get that MP3 player!
