No particular thing category

I've found about 20 minutes this a.m. to look around a bit and am looking forward to adding rss feeds. I think I'll just do bloglines for now and watch Sandy and Bill's comparison logs (see Sandy--I am learning various forms of delegating :-)) before spending more time working with google reader as well. I think I'm glad I have competition for the computer at home--if no one kicked me off, this exploration could stretch endlessly. Speaking of which, at almost 10 a.m., I had better get out of my pajamas. After my errands and a work lunch, I'll try to get to thing 3.

Thing 2--thoughts on hair upkeep

Before I spice up my blog with an avatar and pictures, I had better record my responses to the thing 2 inputs. It is clear that Stephen Abrams does not need to spend much time on his hair. This is, however an activity to which I regularly devote time. So I will probably not become a 46-things on a stick guru. Actually, I do get the concept of choosing to devote time to engender excitement over a new learning opportunity. Since the daily business of working in our libraries does not allow for time to do any of this at work, nor does all of our work technology support the activities, that places the burden of participation in this project on home time. Since I already devote a significant portion of home time to work, I have mixed feelings about this because true excited participation does not just take 15 minutes a day, as Abrams claims. Oh--perfect timing--my son just called for a ride home, my daughter will call soon. I'll need to continue this later.

Thing 1--off to a slow start

Okay, so I'm one of the people who didn't read the instructions. My excuse was I was hurrying to register while I was on vacation and I wanted to take shortcuts. I know better now. I think I now have a genuine blog link through the Metronet group so now I can play around with the next steps at home. I need an avatar. After last night's discussion at the reception for Victoria Cox before the Library Board meeting, it was clear that a blog is nothing without an avatar and I am not truly living until I have reached this minimal level of participation. I'm off to explore.
