One Thing leads to another...

It's been great fun to visit the numerous 23 Things blogs now populating the sidebar. Who knew it would be so interesting to sneak a peek at people's iGoogle pages - someone found Frogger! I need to check out the game gadgets again, clearly. Next I 'm going to do some commenting, I find with my other blog that it's really fun when you get a conversation going in comments. Once I was wondering what a tree in our back garden was, and posted a photo of it to my blog asking if anyone knew - soon I had an answer: Australian Wattle, FWIW.

In terms of what I hope to get out of the 23 Things programme, I'm interested in getting new ideas for how to use Web 2.0 tools. I've experimented with a bunch of them, but would like to become a more regular blogger, for instance. I use flickr, but want to upload more photos and organize them in a coherent way. I think that seeing what other people do will provide some inspiration. I'm also hoping to become more familiar with other parts of OULS, which is already happening as I read the participant blogs. I'm leading some of the upcoming Things, and am looking forward to making discoveries about the topics as I prepare. I am quite amazed at the capabilities of some of the free image editing tools, for instance.

Onward!
