So this week's lesson was definitely less stressful than the other ones, and this is probably the first time I've come through it without feeling like a complete idiot. My computer use in general is pretty much all about playing, so this was more my speed. The Blufr site was kind of fun, and even a little educational too, and it's really all about making learning fun, isn't it? I wasn't particularly interested in signing up for accounts on most of the other ones, though I might be tempted to try the game one later. I don't drink, so beer and wine sites don't do anything for me at all. I have a cat, and I love her dearly, but I don't think she needs her own website.
I didn't actually do the adventure activity right at this moment, but I would guess that I've done that sort of thing for years...my main "hobby" is going to concerts, particularly oldies acts/groups. One performer I've followed for a number of years is Peter Noone, the original "Herman" from Herman's Hermits. His website, www.peternoone.com, is quite a community, with blogs posted by Peter himself, and forums and chat rooms for fans to communicate with each other. I think that sort of qualifies as a type of Web 2.0 thing. Thoughts?
Speaking of concerts...I tried something new over the weekend and saw Weird Al Yankovic perform at Cypress Gardens. Highly entertaining, and totally fun!! I would definitely like to see him again!! White and Nerdy and proud of it, baby!! :P

One of the things about this technology that still amazes me is how it provides access to "experts" in any area of interest. Your experience with Peter Noone is an example -did you ever think that you would be able to communicate with him and get to know him? Sure, in the "old days" you could send him a letter, but the chance of a response was slim and if it did happen it was probably a form letter from the fan club.
