Didn't Dr. Seuss write about Thing 1 and Thing 2
in the Cat in the Hat? They were mischief-makers
weren't they? Hmmm...
In Stephen Abram's interview he remarked that
one can always find the time to do what we want,
like smoking, but he didn't say how hard it can
be to create new habits, new ways to think.
One needs both the time (21 days to a habit)
and the desire to change.
Abram also said to look for the unintended
consequences of learning 23 Things on a Stick.
Like my mind wandering to the possible
applications of some of these things
in reaching out to one's community?
On the Internet our chimp-like fingers and
trapeze hands catch stuff mostly by
accident.
I must say, this 23 thing stuff has inspired me
to try my hand at creating a presentation
(Powerpoint? YouTube?) about how to
order books from our online library catalog.
I think the powerpoint idea is a direct
result of working through these 23
things!
On to Thing 3.
