Exercise #6 flickr mashup

My READ exercise
Originally uploaded by boixos.

All right, I didn't favor the librarian trading card and I'm continually frustrated by the personalities chosen by ALA for their promotional posters. Perhaps this will create an underground network of wisenheimer literacy advocates interested in exaggeratingly poor taste graphic design! And then again, perhaps not.

Pet hyenas and baboons

So I wanted to post a very nice photo of a baboon, i don't know why exactly, but instead I came across this image which made me think of all those labradoodles and puggles and things you encounter on the mean streets of Willow Glen. Imagine navigating this scene for a weekly bag of Peets coffee. It might be fun.

shamelessly ignored blog & Thang #5

aw'right, so i haven't entered anything for the past 3(?) weeks or so. Furthermore, I seem to have a lacking ability to clearly define the exercises or "things" we're required to be completing, so let's clear it up here by stating that to this point I have completed through step number 4 by registering my blog and all. This post shall address the flickr exercise and i assure you that I have explored it like mad. May as well go to "thing 6" and play with some flickr tools or mashups or whatever we want to call 'em. So hang on to your hats ... I know I'm exicted.

Thing 1 and Thing 2? Dr. Seuss turns in his grave ...

I neglected to complete Thing 2 in identifying the easiest and most challenging of the 7½ habits. So here we go. The most challenging for me would be the first, "Begin with the end in mind." Maybe it's just the syntax, but personally I wish to leave "the end" open-ended, as it were. You never know what lay between the here and now and, well, what awaits us forevermore, so I'm always willing to allow for fluctuating forms of reality. If that sounds too hippie, please forgive me because it's making me nauseous as well.

The easiest I'd have to say would be to accept responsibility for your own learning. Nobody will ultimately infuse you with an intellectual curiosity that is ongoing and if you're not gonna do it for yourself then who will?

Only the Beginning

Where to start? What can possibly be said to further the content of too many bloggers with vastly too many opinions on everything under the sun? Gimme time, and I may yet come up with an entirely unoriginal litany of comments and commentary.
