Thing 3

I still don't get it. I signed up for Google Reader and subscribed to some news stuff but it's not clear to me how I actually get this wonderful up-to-the minute news. Does it just show up magically or do I have to go to google then google reader each time?
And I tried signing up for other's blogs from 23Things but keep getting the message that they don't exist. I feel like I'm wasting my time trying to understand something that makes no sense to me.
Frustrating.

Thing 2

I listened to the Stephen Abrams video - her reminded me of Max Headroom without the manical laughter.
I think that Library 2.0 just means that we have to keep up with all the changes and integrate them into our own libraries. Not always easy to do when these changes come at what seems a 1000 MPH.
We get too bogged down with the rhetoric and often overthink things. Not to mention trying to make ourselves sound more important than we really are.
The Internet has made my life easy like the microwave oven did. It's convenient for me to shop, communicate and find information. But it's not my life. I get home and turn on my computer and check my email, the news, my stocks and that takes me about 10 minutes tops. I can't think of anything else to use it for. There's other things in life to do.
Ramble on...

Thing #1

OK - I'm not good at reading directions so of course I tend to do things backward. In any case, I have created my blog and have learned how to access it and post messages.
Am still trying to add an avatar. I was able to create one with the help of my friend Mary (Growing with 23 things on a stick) but can't figure out how to save it to my blog.
I'll keep trying.
I am very excited about learning all these new things.
Keep warm!

I did it.

I blog therefore I am. Hard to keep claiming that I'm a luddite. This is my first forary into this world. Hope I get better and this and figure out why I need this.
