My 2 Cents on Technology

While technology is good and propels us forward, I'm not really sure I'm a good candidate for learning all this at once. I'm sure once I get the basics, I'll be able to continue, but right now, I'm finding technology hurts my brain.

Flickr Retrievr

This is hilarious! Retrievr is a tool where you "hand draw" an item and Flickr tries to match your creation with a photo. You have to try it... it's really bizarre.

I know I didn't inherit any drawing genes, but I thought I could draw a flower. I know the basic components - a stem and a few petals. I have to say my creation looked pretty good. Apparently, not, because one of the choices I was given as a Flickr match was an owl. I guess I better not quit my day job.

A Flickr Photo

Here I am for week 3 of the 2.0 challenge. This week I'm to discuss a photo I've enjoyed viewing. While perusing the endless photos in Flickr, I came across a bistro table that reminded me of my trip to Chartres, France. But wait! I continued looking, and came across photos of cats, then my favorite became this:

This kitty resembles Chloe, and I thought everyone would like to see my adorable furry companion.

The 7 1/2 Habits

In order to earn the MP3 player at the end of this program, I have to record my progress on my newly created blog (which was a task for week #2). So... with this statement, those of you reading my ramblings can surmise that the first "habit" on my list is "Begin with the End in Mind". I WANT the MP3 player, therefore I must work through all the "things" that need to be done in order to achieve my goal. Sounds a bit philosophical if you ask me.

The second habit would be "Accept responsibility for my own learning". Sure, I would love to have someone do the work for me, but how would I ever gain more knowledge if I had a stand-in? Being responsible for my own learning will keep me on task for prize at the end.

Oopsy.... I was suppose to discuss the habit that would be most difficult for me.... I think that's a toss up between #4 and #7. I say no more.

Greetings!

Greetings to all!

Welcome to Debi's Dialogue. At this point, I'm not quite sure where my ramblings will lead, but I'm sure it'll be an interesting journey.
