#7 Technology-Related

My favorite technology advancement of the last few years has been the ease of downloading music and putting it onto CD's and MP3's. I'm able to listen to my favorite music whenever or wherever I want, and to organize it by genre, so that I can easily listen to whatever I want depending on my mood. I seldom listen to the radio anymore, unless I want to hear the news or weather or traffic reports. And I don't have to listen to songs I don't like if I don't want to. Of course, I never hear anything new this way, so I'm just stuck in my rut, but I'm happy there.

Week 3 #6 Flickr Mashups

After looking at all the incredible things one can do with Flickr technology and photos, it strikes me that true artistic talent will become redundant. If anything is possible using this technology (mosaics, color schemes, creative use of color, light, design), then the natural talent of an artist, interior designer, architect, will become a thing of the past. Sad if you're an artist, but not said if you're artistically challenged (like me).

I love this photo because it is never too early to read in bed. If I could spend all my time reading in bed, I would be in heaven (with occasional breaks for eating, drinking and actually sleeping).

7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners

The hardest of the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners for me is to view problems as challenges. I tend to throw up my hands and give up at the first problem. The easiest of the habits is to PLAY--to use what I've learned to enrich my life, which is, of course, fun!
