#1 Set Up Your Own Blog: the first step to acquiring the 23 Things....

Well, I had absolutely no time to create this blog at work this week, so I am working on this at home. Via my colleagues, I had heard that creating an avatar and exporting it was difficult. I just completed that and it did take some time. I spent more time looking at apparel and background options--the exporting wasn't too bad once I followed the steps listed in the 23 Things on a Stick Blog.

While it was interesting to create an avatar, I also felt the wind blowing through the huge generation gap between myself and those who live on the Internet. It just doesn't have any appeal for me to create an alternative image. I love the Internet for all the resources it provides for my work, and the ease for shopping--but in terms of getting into a "Second Life" and hanging out in a parallel reality--no thanks. But I do dutifully note that it is good for me to be aware of these things that other people enjoy.
