Thing # 9

I tried all of the search tools given, and only two did not bring up any articles of my topic of choice; Feedster's site was down, and syndic8.com did not work.
Other than that, I was able to find many articles pertaining to unassisted childbirth. There were so many, in fact, I don't know how I will find the time to read them all! I was surprised to see so many women discussing this subject, since it is a little out of the ordinary.
At any rate, this exercise was fun for me, because I got to read about other women's experiences and the information they found about UC.

Thing # 8

I had never experimented with RSS feeds before this exercise. I enjoyed learning more about them. I will definitely use them in my every day life, in order to keep up with my interests. They are a very valuable tool, indeed.

Thing # 7

The glitter graphics generator was definitely my favorite. Here is a link, so you can make your own shiny glitter graphics! Glitter Graphics

Thing # 6

Mashups are really cool to play with. I liked Flickr's Color Pickr alot. With my favorite color being purple, seeing all kinds of different pics (mostly flowers) in different shades of purple was great!

I also decided to have a little fun and make a trading card with a picture of my daughter on it.

Thing # 5

This exercise was easy for me, since I already had an account with Flickr before starting the 23 things. But it was especially fun, because I got to share a lovely picture of my daughter, Daphne. She just turned 2 yesterday!

Thing # 4

I just registered my blog. Hopefully soon it will appear on the staff blog page.

Thing # 3

Well, here is my blog! This is actually the second time around I'm doing this. I accidentally deleted my first one. Jeez, I hope I finish in time! :P

Now to complete the previous exercise on the 7 1/2 Habits:

The easiest thing about the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners was taking responsibility for my own learning. I've always learned better when I've taught myself anyway, so this was a no brainer.

The most difficult thing is starting with the end in mind. Actually, it's a little variation of it that gives me trouble. I know how to begin a goal with the end in mind, but since I have the tendency to go off on tangents and get distracted, keeping that goal gives me difficulty.

Thing # 2

Lifelong Learning

I listened to the 7 1/2 Habits online tutorial and it was very interesting. Part of this exercise was to write down which of the habits was easiest and which one was most difficult. My next post will tell you which ones they are!

Thing # 1

I just read the "About KDL Learning 2.0" page. I am starting a little late, so I hope I finish in time!
