I blog, therefore I am
This is my adventure into learning about Web 2.0. I am thrilled to the marrow as they say and really want to know and learn as much as I can. Ciao!

Week 3 - Flickr is 2 fun
I could spend hours on this site just exploring the many amazing (and amusing!) images. For the third party site, I tried Ed's Flickr Toys and created a motivator poster. It was fun searching for the image. I thought I could post the actual image on my blog but couldn't quite get it to do that, although the link is there.
Technology related blog post
As far as technology goes, I read about a library system I used the work at, the one and only Santa Monica Public Library www.smpl.org
(an awesome library if you've never been there) and how they now show links to other library systems in their OPAC if they're library doesn't own a particular item. I think that is a great idea and PLCMC should get on board with that. After all, isn't what we're ultimately trying to do is get the information or item into the hands of the user, whether it is through our system or another NC library system?

Lifelong Learning
The easiest habit for me would have to be #2, Accept responsibility for your own learning. I guess I have always had a love for learning so accepting responsibility for my own learning and the desire to learn comes quite naturally to me. The hardest part is trying to find the time. Fitting it into an already busy life.
The hardest habit would be #3, View problems as challenges. I know this is healthy advice and I do do that from time to time but keeping it in the forefront of my mind and remembering to do view problems in this light does not always happen.
