This is my cat Domino after having been Warholized by fd's Flickr Toy, the "Warholizer." Other intriguing toys by "fd" include "Photo Fortune" (mine was "Don't worry about avoiding temptation -- as you grow older, it starts avoiding you." from The Old Farmer's Almanac), "Mosaic Maker", "Trading Card Maker", "Movie Poster" ...the possibilities are endless! I had to tear myself away from the Flickr toys, but not before custom framing the image in my next post...

week 3, thing 5 ~ explore flickr

I love Flickr and have been using it for several years now to organize and share some of my photos. I should probably shell out the $24.95 for the pro account so that all of my pictures can be displayed (200 is the limit), but I just haven't been able to justify that purchase quite yet.

So since I'm already pretty familiar with Flickr, I decided to explore one of its options that I've never used before: the ability to blog directly from Flickr and have the post appear on my Blogger blog. I linked my MD 23 Things blog to Flickr, selected a photo, clicked "blog this" and I am now writing this post from within Flickr. Neato.

(Now I'm back on my blog and I'm able to edit this "Flickr post" just like all the rest!)

week 2, thing 4 ~ register blog

I think my blog is all registered, just waiting for it to appear on the list.

week 2, thing 3 ~ set up blog

hmm...

well, obviously I was able set up my blog and I've already added three posts so I guess I'll check Thing 3 off the list.

week 1, thing 2 ~ 7 1/2 habits

thoughts on the 7 1/2 Habits podcast...

I enjoy solving problems so I think that Habit #3 - viewing problems as challenges - is fairly easy for me (although some of the people who know me well may disagree). I'm also fairly good at Habit #6 - using new technologies to my advantage.

On the other hand, Habit #4 - having confidence in myself as a competent effective learner - is often difficult. Fortunately, it's becoming easier with age.

week 1, thing 1 ~ read about MD 23 Things

done and done.
