Thing 23: The End!!

I'm all done, I'm finished!! I found the exercises in the beginning and the end more fun and definitely would utilize. I'm thinking about starting a wiki just to show myself I can and plan on doing blogs to post on my kennel website that will track upcoming litters. Many of the discoveries in the 23 Things I don't use daily in my work life but I'm glad I had the experience. I would definitely participate in a program like this again. When I have more time, I'd like to re-do some of the exercises, just to see if I would gain more when I don't have dealines looming over me. I can't seem to get high speed internet at home thus downloads, YouTube, podcasts etc are not in my near future, but still one can hope!

Thing 22 Audiobooks

Ooh, the end is so near I can smell it! Several titles from NetLibrary are now on my favorites list, waiting to be downloaded. To entice myself to do weeding chores last year, I bought a portable cd player and started listening to books. Now with so many more books available, I should finally reach my goal of weed free gardens!

Thing 21: Podcasts, Smodcasts!

I played with all the directories and liked Yahoo Podcasts the best. I'm rushing a bit trying to finish all these exercises before June 6 and a search for library podcasts didn't pop up anything quick or enticing. I'll play with this more once I have that MP3 player and can download something to listen to while I'm working in the garden.

Thing 20 YouTube

This was a fun exercise. I had poked around YouTube before when this was first posted. My internet at home is extremely slow so I've not been able to do much with this site. First I tried to find something on the Collie National I went to in March but came up empty. My uncle sent me this clip and I love watching this horse, so I searched until I found it.
