#6 (Week 3) Flickr mashups, etc.


When asked if we will find out what happens to Willy, the only answer was a soft chuckle from producer Dale Neverno.

Day 1244

Habit #3 (fd's flickr toys)

Willy is starting to count up the "habits" he is acquiring through Learning 2.0. He is using the term habit because at the beginning of this program he listened to a podcast of the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners.
  • Habit #1 is blogging. Willy never thought he would be interested in it. Now he wonders if he will be able to break it.
  • Habit #2 is Flickr. Boy, did Willy get sidetracked on that one.
One of Willy's weaknesses is staying focused on the task at hand. Admittedly, he is easily distracted. . . no, easily amused. . . no, not that either. With few exceptions, just about everything fascinates Willy. This means as soon as he is introduced to something he gets hooked on it. Aw, geez, now it sounds like he has a problem with addiction.

Anyway, his interests start piling up. he starts dividing his time up into more and more projects. It takes longer and longer to get something done. Learning 2.0 will give Willy 23 more excuses for why things don't get done.
