Week 3, Thing 5: Flickr

I like this photo from Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/soozika/106359955/ , for many reasons--it's a book, it's in German, it's a great photo. I understand an ancestor of mine is credited with funding Gutenberg's movable type. He later then sued Gutenberg for not paying him back, and took over the type.

I had a difficult time loading photos into my blog....
But adding the poll feature to my blog is coooool.

Week 2, Thing 4: Register

Really impressed with the look of the blogs by the other participants. Don't think I want to spend a lot of time customizing mine, though.

Week 2, Thing 3: Blog

Well they sure make it easy to blog, don't they!

Week 1, Thing 2: Lifelong learning

Of the 7 1/2 things listed about Lifelong Learning, the easiest for me is to accept responsibility for my own learning. The most difficult is a tie between seeing all problems as challenges, and having confidence in myself. I can do these sometimes, but not always. I have greater confidence in myself with mental challenges than with physical ones.

Week 1, Thing 1: Beginning

So, I'm looking forward to learning about these things in greater detail. 23 Things is a weird name. 23 is a weird number, but apparently used quite a bit. Example: Preservation Trust of Vermont's 23 Things to do for historic preservation. 23 as a magic number is new to me. Any clues as to its origin?

Falling off a blog

So, here I am in blogdom. I would like to start a blog talking about ice tea, as in REAL ice tea, or iced tea, with critiques of bottled so-called teas and lists of restaurants serving honest to goodness real brewed ice tea. But first, I'm in a class learning about various forms of social software and using this spot to post my obligatory blog.
