Digital Cameras

If I had to choose my favorite technology it would probably be the digital camera. I've only had one about two years and I now wonder how I managed so long without one. After I got it my parents and sister had to have one too. I don't use flickr that much but I use Snapfish all the time to share with people I'm close to.
1. I don't have to worry about film
2. I get instant gratification when I want to know how the picture turned out
3. Because of the instant gratification aspect I can retake pictures I'm not satisfied with
4. I can easily share photos with family and friends
5. I can keep online albums
6. It's easy to edit and change photos
7. Family and friends can easily share photos with me the same day they took the picture
8. It's easier to buy each other's photos
9. Digital photos can be uploaded to websites, blogs, myspace, etc.
10. I can carry my photos around on my ipod

Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites

I played around with the Flickr mashups and I was really impressed with mappr. It's a great site for people who love to travel and explore new places. I think the movie posters and other flickr toys would make great gifts for some people.

I've had a flickr account for some time now, but this is the first time I've added a photo I've downloaded to a blog. This is a photo of Jeremiah and me snowmobiling in Wyoming in January. We are on a large frozen over lake and as you can probably guess it was very very cold.

7.5 habits of lifelong learners

The tutorial on lifelong learning was very well done. I personally think lifelong learning is much easier than the tradtional learning that takes place in classrooms and workshops. I think the habit that comes the most naturally to me is "Begin with the End in Mind." If there is something I want to learn or accomplish I usually start out with a concrete and measureable goal. The habit that comes the least naturally is "view problems as challenges." I sometimes view problems as learning opportunities and experiences but I usally prefer ease and simplicity.
