Blog use
I haven't done anything with this blog because I'm not sure what's acceptable. I'm going to assume that I can just go ahead and use it as I wish. You have to use these tools to envision how they might be used, what they're good for, and what their limitations are. And it's pointless to contrive uses for these things. The most successful situation for learning is a situation where you need to use what you're learning. Making pointless posts and comments to a blog gets you acquainted with the possibilities. Daily use forces you to learn things. Teaching someone else really reinforces the important points. It can also force you to use and think about parts of the package that you're not inclined to use.
So, I'm going to try to get back into regular postings. They'll be of use or interest to me. The content may not be work-related but the activity is. Too bad I didn't decide to do this on Tuesday. Dates like 6/6/06 are always worthy of comment.
