Youz and meez

So I jumped on the Meez bandwagon. I have to say, I wish it were as easy as a click of a mouse button to find retro t-strap shoes in real life, but hey. It's fun to shop for cute shoes, even if it's just cyber shopping.

However, my girl seems to spend a lot of time staring blankly at her coffee cup instead of actually drinking her coffee, which is very out of character for me. :) The mug is appropriately huge, though.

7 1/2 Habits

Okay, so I missed the part about listing our personal easiest/hardest of the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners.

For me, the easiest is accepting responsibility for my own learning. I love learning new things.

The hardest is probably beginning with the end in mind, or actually following through on all of those things I feel a burning need to learn about. Like, teaching myself to play the guitar. (Angela Faye, are you reading this? ha) I certainly begin with the end in mind, it's the middle and ending that I actually have trouble with. :)

"No sir, I don't like it."

RSS feeds, that is.
Meh.
That sums up my feelings about them. I miss the web pages! I need pretty web pages to enhance my viewing experience!

p.s. 8 million extra credit points if you can tell me where my title came from...

Google Reader

This morning's project for me has been playing around with Google Reader, which I've never used. There are many blogs/sites that I frequent, but I've never really been interested in RSS feeds so this should be insightful. I'm not sure yet if I'll use Google Reader much or continue using bookmarks instead, but I'll definitely experiment with it. I can see the benefits of having everything organized, but I kind of miss seeing the actual web pages.

What I've subscribed to so far:
- Gluten Free Girl's blog feed (I just love her)
- Pitchfork Media's record reviews
- This American Life podcasts
- Unshelved
- The Shifted Librarian

In the beginning...

This is the first entry in my blog for FRL's '23 Things' project.
I've been blogging for about six years on my own, but this will be a fun experiment also. There are a couple of techie bits mentioned in the project that I've never used, so I am sure it will be a learning experience.

I am uncertain exactly if there will be any tales from the Ref Desk, but I was totally stymied trying to come up with a title that was witty or interesting, or even completely non-witty and uninteresting, just a title at all would be fine.

So there it is.
