I turned into a cow. Well, I didn't but this online persona did. Why? I didn't want my pumpkin-head image to get mixed up with all the other pumpkin-heads out there this time of year. And my husband's favorite animal is the cow. I'n't that sweet.

Mashups are cool. I googled "flickr mashups" and found a top 10 list. Probably the same thing everyone else did. Some were fun but wouldn't ever use--even for fun. And some I would use for fun, like spelling with flickr. Yeah, it's nerdy but still fun.

One think that is kind of annoying me is that I wanted to change the colors of my template to be more scary, and I was only able to change the color of the text. Grrr. Now I'm tempted to change the html, but that will probably be a larger project than what I really want.

Learning 2.0 begins

Hi! So I've tried this before, and feel somewhat 2.o literate. But I'm looking forward to some of things I haven't tried like posting on Flickr, editing a wiki, or using LibraryThing. It should be fun as long as I can keep up!
According to the 7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits I should establish goals for learning. This is the hardest thing for me, but I do think it is important to have goals and have motivation for a project. So what do I plan to get out of this? A fabulous flash drive...time to "play" at work...more experience working with 2.o applications that I haven't tried...the chance to win an ipod...a chance to engage in new ways... Is there more to this that I'm missing?
