Flickr Fun

I found the World in Pictures to be fun. A great way to travel the world from your desktop. It was interesting to key in a particular latitude and longitude and see what came up

Technology comment #2

A lot of this technology assumes one wants to share every detail of their life with complete strangers anywhere in the world. I don't even share much with my close friends (there are a few), let alone anyone who has web access. Not everyone is nice.

Technology Comment

This is for excerise #7 in the Learning 2.0 assignment. I find technology a lot like driving my car. I appreciate what it can do for me, but I find learning about how it works to be dry as dust.

Cats

We have had 4 cats over the years, but I have always been fascinated the big cats. When I go to the zoo I always look for the cats first. It may be the combination of beauty and danger that interests me. If I have time to dabble, I will add more about cats, especially conservation.

Self Learning

This post is part of the Learning 2.0 exercise. Of the 7 1/2 steps the hardest is begin with the end in mind. It reminds me of school, when the teacher wanted an outline before you wrote the paper. I always did the outline last, because I didn't know what the paper was going to look like until it was done. The easiest is accept responsibility for your own learning. I do not need to be pushed to learn; learning is fun! This explains a lot of why I am doing what I'm doing.

Rationale

I am starting this as part of a learning 2.0 exercise at work. I chose the name cornucopia because I expect this to be a hodgepodge of interests.
