#7 - Oops missed one!

Hmmm technologhy hey... well I don't remember learning how to use a mouse I feel like I have known how to all my life. I do remember tapes to CD's and now I dont even touch my CD's anymore since I put them all on iTunes. I did recently write an essay on the future of books in the technology world which was interesting to think about distribuion and where it leaves libraries in the supply of free material. Im constantly amazed that people are so lazy that they will rather sit at home and pay for iTunes downloads when it is so easy to borrow the whole CD for free and put it on your computer. Hmmm so I guess I will just say that I dont want technlogy to make us lazy, so im very pleased that I chose to be active with technology... hence the Learning 2.0!

Oh and this is a link to the Bob Dylan page as was in my last post

Wasn't too impressed with the Rollyo idea. Unless you are a person with very specific interests then it is just limiting your field of information too much. So I just had a look around at others' searches. But i did like the 'Quick Quotes' search, i have included one i found above...

I will just add that i also loved the 3D Stereogram generator. I used it to make a birthday card! worth checking out if your good at these (I found it easier off a computer screen)

Good Old Bob!

Week 4 - RSS

Interesting... parts of this week i found very useful, perhaps a little time-consuming to be someone who checks this and uses it regularly. Still, good idea for organising things a bit better. I went to get The Chaser's feed, those guys are fantastic!

Found this one through the third party program 'Flickr Color Pickr'. This is really great, especially if you want to use colour theme for something, so easy and interesting to use. Loved this one in particular!!!

Blogs huh...

So far so good...
I feel I should explain my blogs name. As I sit here in my bed writing my first post I am in great pain! And it is not because I am a technological moron (though I am) and it's not because I am 21 and only just started paying attention to blogs, myspace and facebook (I'm just lazy) and it's not because I'm not looking forward to Learning 2.0 (cause I am!). It is because I was stupid enough to think it was a good idea to listen to a favourite song of mine 'Blackout' by Muse while i got my top wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday. It has totally wrecked a beautiful song for me! And i can't get it out of my head! So, I thought now was a good time to begin my blog to stop myself from siting here feeling sorry for myself.
Let the learning begin...
