Thing 23!

I'm really happy I made the decision to take part in this learning 2.0 program. It has been a great way to learn different things that are available on the internet. You can go at your own pace and learn through trial and error how to use the various things. Now I know what people are talking about when they use terms like wikis and podcasts! I'm really happy about learning how to use Flickr and del.icio.us and plan on exploring them even more in the future. Thanks for the chance you gave us to become more tech savvy!

Thing 22: Teaching someone one of the 23 things

Helen and I have collaborated throughout this project. I find it helpful to show someone else what I've learned because I feel it reinforces my own knowledge. I do plan on showing my father and possibly others how to create their own blogs.

Thing 21: Podcasts

I'm already VERY familiar with itunes which I find to be easy to use. I also had the pleasure of doing a radio talk show with Roxann, Sharon S., and Devin. This is located on the right hand side of my blog. The topic of our show was the death of John Lennon. It was a very cool experience and probably the only time I'll do radio!

Thing 20: Rita Hayworth as Gilda (music by Pink Martini)

Thing 20 : YouTube Comment

I love YouTube! I can spend hours just looking at different videos. I choose to post a video my brother made of his daughter. That video is just beneath this post. The one above this post is from one of my favorite movies "Gilda". The music is by a band called "Pink Martini" and I just love them! Whoever put this video together did a great job! I have a couple more I posted earlier since I'm already familiar with this site.

Thing 20: My niece Lydia.

Erte's work is sheer glamour. What more can I say!

SUCCESS


To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people
and affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best
in others; to leave the world a bit
better, whether by a healthy child
a garden patch or redeemed
social condition; to know even
one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is to have
succeeded.


-Ralph Waldo Emerson
