This blog began as part of the "23 Things" project I participated in during the summer of 2008. Laura Davidson gave us, the staff of Meredith College's Carlyle Campbell Library, the opportunity to explore some "new" web technology as part of our staff development. It was based on (well...copied and lightly adapted) from the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenberg County's Learning 2.0 Project, created by Helene Blowers.
And so began the "23 Things" project
1) Get more familiar with the scope of the project
2) Think about lifelong learning
3) Set up a blog
4) Learn about wikis (like the one Laura set up for the purpose of this project)
5) Add an entry to the wiki
6) Discover Flickr
7) Have some Flickr fun
8) Write about technology in your blog
9) Serious about gaming
10) Learn about RSS feeds
11) Locate some interesting blogs to get RSS feeds from
12) Play with an online image generator
13) Look at LibraryThing
14) Roll your own search tool
15) What is Del.icio.us
16) Learn about Technorati and tagging blogs
17) Read about Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries
18) Face to Facebook < many of the 20 or so co-works balked at this one and stopped
19) Explore some award winning Web 2.0 sites
20) Discover YouTube < this one makes me laugh the most now (Oct 2020)
21) Computing in the Cloud
22) Explore some final Web 2.0 apps < I have to wonder - what version are we "on" now?
23) Now for some valedictory remarks
The decision to turn it into ABCs happened later, but the seed was planted long ago. For example, the Sept 2006 issue of Skirt! magazine's "ABC's of Feelings" inspired this list:
a: afternoon delight
b: book, bike ride with Elizabeth !! :)
c: "Change the rules, tend to your wounds but play."
d: drink creation
e: enjoy a spiritual life today
f: "Fall for Nothing" and is by Mindy Smith
g: GRAB Breakfast every day
h: have fresh veggies
i: in a rut?
j: Josh Radin - "Closer"
k: kid's eye view
l: love, lust, luxuriate, lounge
m: "Mistakes are painful, but they're the only way to find out who you are." ~ Grey's Anatomy
n: Nalick, Anna "Wreck of the Day"
o: "Only You" also by Josh Radin
p: "Play hard, play fast, play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow."
q: quiet place
r: read, rest
s: "show me a garden that’s bursting into life!”
t: "turns out, sometimes you have to do the wrong thing..."
u: understanding
v: VANQUISH FEAR
w: write my paper for Friday ahead of time
x: xperience life fully
y: Yes Yourself into a new experience
z: Zest
