My FaceBook

Thanks...now I'm addicted to FaceBook. I have really enjoyed learning about this Web 2.0 technology. Although I have a MySpace account (because I wanted to read my brothers blog), I hadn't really used it or customized it. I found the look too cluttered. I like the look of Facebook much better. I have found lots of friends, networks and groups to meet up with. The groups I like the most are:


I Love the Smell of Skunks
Clue is the best movie ever!
Library 2.0 Interest Group
All Those Children Whose Hippy Parents Named them Sunshine
People with the last name BORRETT

Habitually habitual

Well, it's official! I'm a lifelong learner. At least according to the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners.

Ok. Well, I've always known I was a lifelong learner after going to school pretty much non-stop from 1980-2005.

The hardest of the 7 1/2 habits is probably #1: Begin with the end in mind. I find my 'end' changes sometimes, which sometimes means I need to re-start or re-direct the learning process.

For me, the easiest habit is definitely #3: View problems as challenges. I learn so much, and have more fun when I am trying to solve a problem. Especially when I solve a problem that helps me answer other, larger problems. A big portion of my job is problem solving. Occasionally problems make me pull my hair out or continually bang my head against the wall, but in reality I'd miss them if they weren't a part of my life.
