Week 3, Thing 7, Something Technology Related

My husband bought a new cell phone, supposedly for me, but he is having a great time with it! It has GPS, bluetooth, and 911 location capabilities, has a camera, keyboard and I don't know what else. We programmed the GPS to take us to a new location last week, but it didn't use the best route. I always resist these new technologies, but invariably find myself using at least some part of them to make my life easier.
I posted a comment on a co-worker's blog. It was about a project in which I was involved that she had blogged about.

Week 3, Thing 6, Flickr Mash-ups and Third Party Sites

It's amazing what is on the web! Of all the sites I looked at, I liked ColrPickr the best, especially ColorFields, Flowers, Crayon Box and SquaredCircle. I was really mesmerized by all the pix that would pop up as I clicked on each color. I also can't believe that people actually have the time to sit there and design all these applications. They must be men!

Week 3, Thing 5

This is a picture of Belle Rock in Sedona, Arizona. We visited Red Rock country in 2005, and it is beautiful, more striking than the Grand Canyon in my opinion. And homes are built close to some of these rock formations, so you can look out your window and see these majestic sights.

Week 2, Thing 4: Register blog and Track progress

I am so far behind (we're so busy at work) and so technologically challenged, but I am determined to finish this! The fun stuff is about to start (I think).

Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from Lifelong Learners

The easiest habit for me would be #7: to teach and mentor others. I don't mind doing this and think I have the patience to do it. The hardest habit for me to acquire would be #6: to use technology to my advantage. I tend to like to do things "old school" and am just starting to learn to use technology to solve problems.
