Lesson 2

Hi There.

So, as you can see my first post is actually my second post. I had some confusion issues. (I wonder why that keeps happening to me?) This, my second post, is actually my first. Get it?

I am finding this experience of blogging to be exciting, fun, and scary all at the same time. The fact that ANYONE could be reading this is VERY SCARY. There are some scary people out there. (Thanks to the media for continually reminding us...) The good news is that I think I know how to be smart and not get caught unaware. It was hard to come up with a catchy (does this thing have spell check???) title, URL, etc. I was trying to keep it anonymous--but at the same time make it interesting. (If its not interesting I won't even want to read or post to my own blog! Ha!) I absolutely feel like I am traveling in uncharted waters...I think it is going to take some time for me to adjust and get used to the blogging lifestyle!

My Blog name contains the three primary interests in my life right now. Books, I just can't get enough of. I am usually reading at least 2 at any one time--and most weeks finish 5 novels or so. What can I say? I am a book nerd and proud of it. I have been avidly reading (and pretty much at that same pace) for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I used to go to the library once a week and check out 6 chapter books, read them, return them the next week and start the cycle all over again! As for the reptiles and canines...I only have one reptile in my life right now--Grendel. (But I dig all kinds of reptiles!) She is an adult female green iguana. She is a fantastic, wonderful monster and I love her very much. Soon, (i.e. when I learn how) I will post a picture of her. She is amazing and beautiful! I also have two wonderful canines. Missy is a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix and Toby is a Weimeraner/Greyhound/Great Dane Mix. (The two of them combined is about 140 pounds of dog!) They are both wonderful companions (my best friends, really) and they keep me very busy (and sane!). If we are not going for a long walk, then I am probably cleaning some surface in the house that they have dirtied! My secondary interests mainly include music and DVDs (TV and movie). My music tastes are extensive and varied (My philosophy is I will listen to anything once...) I also enjoy a wide variety of movies (anything but horror, really). I am a "Lost" fanatic and also love most every series HBO has ever made!

Learn 2.0 is FUN!

Did Grokker’s grouping of search results help you? Yes. I searched for something that I knew would bring up a lot of results so that I would be able to benefit from the "sorting" of information. I really liked the groupings of information, it really helped to narrow down and only look at relevant information. It was also interesting to see how Groker categorized the information!

What sites did you select for your RSS reader? I think I went a little crazy and ended up with 18 new subscriptions! There are just so many interesting topics to choose from! I subscribed to Orange Slices from OCLS.

What is your learning style preference? Is Learn 2.0 working with or against your learning preference? Primarily, I am a visual learner. I also learn well with hands on activities. So, as a result, Learn 2.0 is right up my alley!!
