Hi. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Sometimes it's hard to remember that I even have this blog!
Anyway, I am blogging about the different apps that have been created for Flickr, most of which seem to use a name derivative of the missing letter approach that Flickr itself uses.
Of the sites that I looked at, the most useful one, I think, is moo.com, where you can turn your Flickr photos into cards: business cards, greeting cards, etc. That's a good way to print out any pictures that you like.
The least useful site to me is Montagr, where you upload a photo, and it creates a montage of images to produce a (blurry) reproduction of the original. I'm not sure what purpose this serves, other than it's simply fun.
On a related note, I discovered another beautiful photo on Flickr titled "Dawn of Creation." Just search under that name, and it's the first result. Plus, it links you to other similar picture for your perusal. I may have to start using this site more regularly, you never know what you're going to find there!

Flickr
I finally got on Flickr today. I haven't created an account or anything, just browsing the photos, and there are a lot! You can find pictures of pretty much anything can can imagine on here; I guess you could say that Flickr does for photos what Youtube does for videos: provide an online forum for anyone to share anything.
The highlight of my perusal today was searching for images from Busch Gardens where I work, and I found this photo taken by a nature photogragher of Bolingo, the baby gorilla born at the park a few years ago, possibly there only one of him on this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nature_shots/3211041325/
There's a lot to be found on Flickr. Happy browsing!

7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners
The 23 things list suggested blogging about the habits among the 7 1/2 habits are the easiest and the hardest for you.
I would have to say, and I imagine that many will agree with me, that the easiest habit to maintain is the last one: play. Playing is always easy and fun to do, although sometimes it can distract one from the learning that he needs to do, if you know what I mean.
The hardest habit, for me anyway, is number seven, teach/mentor others. I don't know as I have the patience or enough knowledge to be much of a teacher of anything. Maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit, I don't know.
What do you think?

First blog
Well, this is my very first online blog. I have never done this sort of thing before, therefore I really don't know what to do with it, so bear with me. I will post to this blog as I am able, though I doubt my posts will be of much interest. Comments are welcome, but please be nice about it! Thank you.
