Week Three, Thing 7, Technology Blog Post

I really like pda(personal digital assistant) technology. You can have a full computer, complete with internet, email, media (images, movies, audio files, etc.), notetaking programs, games, and many other programs that fits in a pocket. In addition, there is a much smaller chance of getting spyware and viruses on a pda even when using the Internet. I have had an internet capable pda for 4-5 years, and I've had only 2 problems, one of which I was able to fix (this is with absolutely no protection, though there are mobile security programs available, such as the Airscanner Firewall, and Airscanner Antivirus.)

Week Three, Thing 6, Flickr Mashups

I explored some Flickr mashups. One of my favorites was the retrievr, (http://labs.systemone.at/retrievr/), which is where you draw a rough draft of something and watch the results. It's amazing how many results a single dot brings up.

Week Three, Thing 5, Flickr

Flickr is a powerful image hosting/viewing tool. I have had experience with it, but I haven't used it for a while, so this was a good review of the site. There are a lot of free image hosting sites, but this is one of the best.

I found this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/benmcleod/59948935/. I would definitely love driving this fast.

Week 2, Thing 3, Easiest and Hardest Habits for Me

The hardest habit for me is number 3, "View Problems as Challenges", as I tend to get annoyed at problems rather than viewing them as helpful learning experiences.

The easiest habit for me is number 6, "Use Technology to your Advantage", because I am very comfortable with technology and I constantly use technology as a timesaver, to make work easier, etc.
