Exploring New Blogs

Today I spent some time exploring Technorati looking for new blogs to add to my Bloglines account. What I liked most about that site was their list of the Top 100 blogs. Some blogs I was already a fan of and others were new discoveries. Below are some links to some of my most recent additions:

Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish
Smitten Kitchen
PostSecret
The Sartorialist
Stereogum
Apartment Therapy

Bloglines

Below is a link to my new Bloglines account. I read a lot of different blogs on a daily basis, so this is really a great service. Bloglines allows users to subscribe to all of their favorite blogs and news sources, enabling users to check everything at one site instead of spending time going around to several. I am all for anything that saves me time.

LibraryThing

LibraryThing is one of my new discoveries this week, thanks to the Learning 2.0 program. I'm always up for making a new list so this site is right up my alley. Here's the link to the list I just started:

I hope to add a lot more to it later.

Some Fun with Flickr

Flickr is one of my favorite websites. I love photography and think it's great that it has become so accessible, thanks to growing technology. One of my favorite photostreams on Flickr is this one. Her photography is always beautiful. She captures simple things and moments, yet each photo is so lovely and ethereal. If only I had her talent!

Learning Habits

The easiest learning habit for me is number one, begin with the end in mind. I am a very goal-oriented person and have found that setting goals are necessary for any sort of learning or advancement. The habit I most struggle with is number three, viewing problems as challenges. While problems make me think of something difficult that I can't control, a challenge seems like something that I will eventually learn something from. Sometimes a new perspective can make all the difference.
