Week 9, Thing 23

What an interesting 23 Things project. I enjoyed learning a lot of the things, but I unfortunately found the overall experience to be more of a chore than a fun thing to do. I do understand how someone could get very involved with blogging, "flickr"ing, creating avatars, and sharing with wikis. Once you get started it's easy to see how an hour or two can disappear(in my case an hour or two was just enough time for me to understand what was expected of me). Maybe I'm just better communicating with people face to face. There is something almost sad about the way so many people spend so much time on their computers it seems fresh air and human contact are becoming obsolete. I do hope to pass some of the useful tools I have learned on to customers and also friends and family. GoogleDocs in particular. What a wonderful tool for everyone and it is definitely something that I am looking forward to sharing! I have to mention that if not for my phenomenal co-workers I would never have been able to finish this project. Especially Desi, who was my personal cheerleader during crunch time...what a peach!! My suggestion for future projects of this kind is to give "choice" options. If we were given our choice of 10 or so of the 23 things, I think it would have been more fun choosing and also more fun sharing our choices with others. This experience has provided us with plenty of laughter and sometimes much frustration. But I am proud of myself for finishing! YAY ME!!!
