This image generator stuff is still confusing. Here is my feeble attempt.

Thing 18 web 2.0 award winners

I chose Ask.com blog. It's an obvious choice, because I love learning new things. I didn't look for any particular information, but explored the entire site. The 'spotlight' section was neat. Today's spotlight covered the Pillsbuty Dough Boy. He's really getting old! Today's birthdays covers more than just the 'for the moment' celebrities. By the way, Brendan Fraiser is now 40. There's also today in history.

Thing 23 Summary

Overall, I think Learn & Play was a good experience for me and others. I was fascinated by the way it brought our staff together--every day they were talking about Learn & Play and helping each other. I liked it, too. My biggest challenge was finding the time to explore the different 'things'. I was too busy at work and had other obligations when at home.

I would like to continue with the 'things' I did not complete, so I hope Learn & Play will remain up for a time. While the prizes were somewhat of an incentive, I am more driven by having the opportunity to learn some new things. I would probably have never explored blogging, online image generators, twitter, librarything, and the other 'things' had it not been for Learn & Play. That's the really beauty of this endeavor.

Even if Learn & Play does not stay active, I will take my log (which I printed off) and learn about those other 'things', as well as go back to some of the others.

Thing 12-Twitter, or Twittering

OK, Twitter was neat. Since I am dropping AOL, this seems like a good substitute for AOL's instant messaging. I invited several of my friends to 'twitter' with me. So far, three have done so. The only thing I do not like about Twitter is the space limitation, but on the other hand, the same occurs with AOL IM's. So what am I complaining about?
