Thing #2

Ok. I watched the Stephen Abram video again, not because I was so enthralled, but because I originally viewed it so long ago. It reminded me that finding the time to develop myself personally and professionally is a choice. It's a matter of prioritizing. Yes, I am busy, but taken in increments, I can probably get a lot further than procrastinating and doing nothing. Mr. Abram also talks about the importance of experiential learning, one of the reasons I was and still am very excited about 23 Things. It's almosts "forces" me into actually using these new technologies, instead of just knowing what they are. Finally, I think that Mr. Abram's obvious zeal for learning and technology is contagious and one of the 'unintended consequences' generated by the 23 Things is that the enthusiasm is infectious.
