Promises to Keep

I haven't been very good at blogging but I know now what I will start with in 2011. I saw a challenge on Facebook called the 30 day photo challenge. A friend of mine has been working on hers for a while now. In fact, I think she is a little over half way through it. I think I will begin mine on January 1. I will do my challenge on my blog, instead of on my Facebook account. That way, I can go into more detail about my pictures. I have just received an HTC Desire phone with geo tagging capabilities and although I don't know all there is to know about how to use this, I will learn. Trust me! I am that stubborn! Maybe I can use the geotagging as part of my project. Who knows?!? Anyway, here are the directions for the challenge.

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show

Day 04 - A picture of your night

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity

Day 19 - A picture and a letter

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change

Day 25 - A picture of your day

Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member

Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of

Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile

Day 30 - A picture of someone you miss

Day 31 - A picture of yourself

Community Change

The World Wide Web has certainly changed since it began. When it started out, it was a library of sorts, a repository of information. Now it has become a collaboration tool. I love the new adaptations! I just found out that one of my all time favorite "libraries" has now evolved to become an online community! This site is Thinkfinity.com. Check out the link on the side and please join the community!

New Beginnings

Okay, it is November of 2010 and I first set up my blog on January 2009. I was not very good at keeping up with my blog but I am going to give it one more shot so today I begin a new blog. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over." If that is true then I am chocked full of vitality.

What I was thinking this morning as I was coming to work was my move into the 21st century. I have had a web presence for several years now; my home page is linked at the side of this blog. But my home page is done is html and is not made to interact with others but rather to merely provide information to others. I need to rethink my web presence. Of course, I have a facebook page. You can visit if you wish; I will not accept your friend request unless I know you. I also have a twitter page; you are welcome to follow me. Facebook is what I use to communicate with my friends and family while twitter is my professional learning network. I want to start a blog as my daily reflection, my online diary. Needless to say, I am not sure right now if my blog will have a cohesive topic or just be a hodgepodge of thoughts. We will have to see about that. But I do know that if I don't make myself write every day, I will never get my blog off the ground.

And why am I wanting to write anyway? Well I am beginning my doctoral degree in Instructional Technology and soon I will begin my dissertation. If I don't practice my writing skills in some fashion, I am going to be up the creek without a paddle.

So now I have my blog started. Speaking of writing, I need to finish a 5 page essay on using the web as an instructional tool. TTFN!

     OK, I wanted to post something since the new year started but today is probably not the right day to do so.  If you check my page en...
