My Space

Well, I don't think I'll spend much time at My Space. I prefer my friends in person - and with a name like mine I didn't expect to find any others and there are no others there. I'm glad I tried it though - it is one less thing I need to be curious about!

Flicker On

I love Flicker. I can see that I'll be using it a lot. I've created an account and I'll load some photos soon. In the mean time, here is a photo of a scarf I'm knitting - inspired by this photo that I saw in Ravelry - more about that later! I can't make the photo credits big enough to read - something more to learn - and I must also go back and give credit to the photo I put in an earlier post. So much to learn!

Where were we?

I need to get serious about doing the 20 things - so here goes.
I've read the introduction, set up my blog and viewed the vodcast on the 7.5 habits - all of which are important. I'm very good at playing, I love to build toolboxes and I'm fairly confident of my skills and abilities to learn new things - it was rather strange to listen to myself though!
I'm now going to try to create a blog element to track where I am on the list and then off to try to find a fun video on You Tube - others have found some great ones.
Here is my current favorite - I like it better than the Angry, the Ninja and the Super Librarians. The librarian videos I like the least are several boring videos posted by some of my colleagues running for office in a professional association.
I learned about the other video sites - I had no idea there are so many. I learned how to embed a video in a post - although I didn't do it exactly in the right place.
You Tube is not going to become a big part of my life, but I will use it for specific things, like videos of knitting techniques - and I got to see the Paul Potts performance I've been hearing about.
On to the next task!
