23 Things Post

This is my first post for the 23 things workshop. It seems worthwhile to post a few thoughts about my goals for these exercises:
  1. to be more enthusiastic about "Web 2.0" technologies:
    I tend to see things such as RSS feeds, Blogs, and Social Bookmarking as being time-sinks, and huge distractions. I really hate instant messaging. I'm the type that would rather use a text-editor than a word-processor. But there are times when a word-processor can save a lot of time!
  2. to expand my skills using these technologies:
    As opposed to learning how to implement the technologies - that is, to learn them from a user perspective.
  3. to lose weight, and get in shape:
    I plan to post the results of my fitness program to this blog. If I don't win the laptop computer by the end of this post, I'll at least be in shape enough to dance to my new iPod!
