Pretty cool. A pretty little icon that takes me to my bloglines. he he he he

Week 3 - Exploring Flicker

Task #7 - Technology ...

Hmmmm ... I am still coming to terms with the fact that I can send a piece of paper through a fax and it comes out identical millions of miles away. Or that my voice carries over space and time to another destination on the phone. Now I am dealing with the use of VOIP (voice over I.P.) - websites such as skype, email, blogging, digital photography. I remember a time when I used to wait for my husband to come home to contact him. Now I can phone him whenever I like (mobile) or email him (blackberry). Maybe we are not really that far away from the reality of flying cars ...

Task # 6 - Mashups & trading cards.

I remember when a trading card used to be a little fairy or a dog picture that came with my bubble gum packet. Now I can put my own/family/friends pics on and swap them elecontronically! Amazing. Here is a mashup I found on flickr - can you tell?

Task # 5 Discover Flickr

heya! Well I've just had a play with flickr. Interesting to see the things that people are willing to publish to a public site. Definately more convenient to publish photos to a site, rather than try to email thousands of pics around as an attachment. Very smart thinking of some clever cookie! Here is a photo of "Karmel Market" in Tel Aviv. Did you know that "Carmel" means "garden" in hebrew?

Week 1 & 2 - I made it ......

Well .... after a bit of hassle with webmarshall (as if I am going to be accessing pornography!) ... I'm finally on and blogging! How exciting.

The 7 1/2 habits to lifelong learning were very interesting. I guess we all inadvertantly have been lifelong learners without actually knowing it. The two habits I guess I already acknowledge having most problems with are: 1. Viewing problems as challenges and 2. having confidence in myself. Will see how we go.....
