Well here's another fine mess you've gotten me into! aka My Flicka experience!

What can I say, I really dig these guys, and as for Flickr, I really didn't care for it. I don't really want to see other people's pictures, unless I actually know the people in them. (Oh the humanity!!) Plus, it's just one more thing you have to sign up for, which I never feel comfortable with. It's obvious there are a lot of aspiring photographers out there with talent, and I did enjoy some of the nature and wildlife photos that people submitted. Still, these guys make me laugh.

Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from lifelong learners

First I really liked the music they used in the tutorial, it reminded me of those educational films we used to watch when I was in school (that's a good memory). I like the whole concept of break out of the box and play. For me, learning is easiest when it's something I want to know about. Hardest, when it's something I could care less about. I agree that having a positive attitude is of primary importance. I tend to put things off I'm not sure about. But once I get started, once I understand what I need to accomplish and have a goal to work toward, I can't really rest until I'm done. (I'm done)

Week 1, Thing 1: About this program

I've certainly heard people talking about "blogging" and now I'm starting to find out what all the buzz is about. Yes, I've fastened my seat belt, got my motor reving, and I'm lookin' for adventure in whatever comes my way(insert Steppenwolf music here).

7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits

As far as learning goes, I feel I'm open to new things. The (hard) old school way of "read chapters 5, 6, and 7 tonight, then do the 30 questions at the end of each chapter" never really did much for me, so I'm kind of excited by this new (easy)"let's play" approach. Bring it on!

Look no hands!

Actually, I did have to use my hands somewhat to type this. But this is my first foray into the world of blogging and I'm going to try to have fun with this.
