Thing # 2. Well I had to come back a post about lifelong learning. When I watched the tutorial, I had no idea what a blog really was so I didn't know what blog post meant until the next thing (#3). Boy do I know now! I really like the last 1/2 habit, "Play, Be Curious and Read".
Thing # 23. Well I can't believe I actually completed this. I am glad I did. I sure did get alot out of it. I truly was not aware of how much can be done with the internet. I guess what I liked most that I didn't know existed were the online productivity tools. Those will come in handy at home. I also liked the different organizational tools to use for photos, search engines etc. I will definitely try some of these things I learned again. I feel like I really learned alot. This really was a great program. :)
Thing # 22. Created an account with NetLibrary. I actually downloaded a book from Overdrive. I'll have to listen to it now and see how well I like this. I was amazed at the number and variety of titles.

Thing # 21. I went to yahoo podcasts. Viewed a few. Although I did not subscribe to any, I may in the future.
Thing # 20. Well I managed to post a video from youtube. Took longer to find one to post than actually posting it.
Thing #19. I chose to explore picasa. I did have to download but it's free and I found I actually like this better than flickr. It organized all my photos. I played with posting a couple of photos to my blog. It was extremely easy.

Thing # 18. These online word processing tools are really nice to know about. It is great because they are web based and are free.
Thing # 17. I added to the Sandbox wiki. Flowers in my garden. I visited others also just to check them out. I wasn't aware you could add photos on these too. I put a picture of one of my flowers that I added to the list and then removed it. Just wanted to see how it was done. It was actually quite simple. To bad there weren't pictures in the favorite foods category.
Thing # 16. Well I learned about wikis and I think it could be very useful. My concern would be accuracy of content and safety of site.

Thing # 15. I really enjoyed this video. It was very creative and said it so right. Now we can all organize the internet together.
Thing # 14. Visited Technorati website. The video was great. I might actually use this. Another wonderful organizational tool for the web.
Thing #13. Checked out del.ici.ous and I can see its usefulness but not sure if I ever will use it.
Thing #12. Well I created a search roll. This can be really useful. Though you have to check periodically and add to it. That was easier than I thought it would be to do.

Thing #11. Joined the Library Thing and added a book to my library. Three others had chosen this book. There were no tags with it so I added a few.

Thing #10. Found this on an online image generator.
Thing #9. Viewed some library related sites and added a few to my bloglines.
Thing # 8. Well I just finished setting up my bloglines acct. and have chosen 10 feeds/sites. I then tryed it by viewing them and it really was convenient to view like this.
Well I'm going to try and move on. Browsed around Flickr website. It is a great way organize and share photos with relatives all around. I will definitely get back to this website,

I just can't imagine life without internet. There is nothing you can't find out there.

Here goes nothing. Don't know where to start with my "Blooming Blog". Hopefully when I figure out what I'm doing it will blossom.
