Learning RSS & Merlin

Week 4 - (Thing 8) Getting familar with RSS but still need more practice.
(Thing 9) Merlin


RSS while time consuming and sometimes difficult it is a very interesting way to get short cuts to information that you want to read and skip all the junk. I know that I will be changing and expanding my RSS after I get more comfortable and learn about new sites. Merlin was fun to look at and my son now thinks that I might know something about computers.

Why am I drawn to the flame

Getting a little more comfortable with flickr.
Week 3 -(Thing 5 & 6) While Flickr was fun and I had a chance to look at hundreds of pictures - adding them to my blog was a little confusing. I was afraid that it would not come out right but it did, so I decided to do another picture.

Week 3 (Thing 7) While I was looking at my pictures from London and Greece I thought of the post about technology. The camera I used on my trip was my first digital - I had been using an old 35mm and it finally died. So my kids bought me a new camera - one that I didn't know how to use. After going to Ritz Camera show and looking at the instructional DVD, I think I learned a little - at least how to change the batteries and delete pictures but was still not sure on how to turn off the flash so that I could take pictures in the Greek museums. Even with my limited knowledge the pictures I took were great and I plan to take my camera with me to Disney and Egypt.

and sometimes difficult to use.

poetry - Week One

How many flowers fail in wood-
or perish from the Hill
Without the privilege to know
That they are Beautiful-
Emily Dickinson

Week one -(Thing 1) Listened to the podcast and look forward to learning the 23 Things. (Thing 2 ) Learn - 7.5 habits - Sometimes difficult to create a realistic goal. Life is always learning. Talked to several people who were doing the 23 Things and they told me to have a lot of patience and they would be glad to help.
Week Two - blog (thing 3 & 4) - Had a great time setting up a blog but still trying to understand all the ins and outs. Can't wait for the other weeks and steps.
