My Friend, Time, Ran Away

Yes. Time ran away from me. She likes to play this game. Chasing her is like chasing my tail (and I don’t even have). This is my only lame excuse for not posting updates about my 23 things.

There’s a pattern in my exploration of the world of 23 things. I remember the day I entered this phrase into the new blog post box:

*These 23 Things are subject to rearrangement and/or modification, pending approval by instructor.

Well. There has been plenty of “rearrangement and/or modification” in my technology exploration. I’ve indicated below which “things” have been updated, along with the original plan. Here is a list of things I’ve been exploring in the past few weeks. A very long post…enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee.

Number Twelve of 23

• Original plan: Read a children’s book aloud using video-conferencing
• Updated plan: Sign up for Shelfari and compare to Goodreads

#muemtech signed up for a shelfari account, comparing to goodreads - 12 of #23things  (tweeted 10.17.2011, 8:32am)

• Sign up for an account on Spotify

…and then I had to tweet this, because I forgot to add the “muemtech” hashtag:

Number Fifteen of 23

• Original plan: use AVI Maker to create a video with “free” images

Number Sixteen of 23

• Create a wiki for the Reflector’s display calendar…and other topics
• Yes! I used Wikispaces to set up a few wikis – one for display planning and another for trip planning. But how to encourage other people to actually contribute…

16 of #23things - been using wikispaces to plan a trip with my family, will they contribute? doubtful http://www.wikispaces.com/ #muemtech (tweeted 10.31.2011, 11:19am)
