Week 3 - Things 5, 6 and 7


I still haven't used our (my wife and I) digital camera - although I've watched her use it and marveled at the way pictures can be taken, viewed, deleted or stored onto the computer for viewing. I plan on having her walk me through the above steps this weekend so that she can finally have her own picture taken (by me). I also want to research ways for slides to be transferred onto a CD - don't know if it's possible but hope so as I have hundreds of family slides from 1960's that I'd love to print and share with family/friends. Explored Flickr and decided to upload an image of my own. The image is a "painting" I created of my wife and I using the "paint" option in accessories. I uploaded it for this week's entry using "blogger images".

Week 1 and Week 2 - Things 2, 3 and 4

Easiest Learning Habit: Accepting Responsibility for My Own Learning. I understand that I have to actively participate/work at something in order to feel any sense of accomplishment. I'm not a passive learning by nature. I'll set aside the time and work hard at something provided it's something I genuinely want to do. That's the hitch though - and it's becoming harder and harder for me (as I get older) to set aside the time and spend the energy on projects that I don't initiate.
Hardest Learning Habit: Using Technology to My Advantage. I'm hoping that this assignment (23 Things) will help me overcome my reluctance to learn new technologies. We'll see.

Week 1 - Thing 1

This is just a test post.
