He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic.
Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.

Week One: Blogging

Today is the kick-off of 23 Things Kansas, a roughly four month journey into the heart of today’s newest and best 2.0 tools. As a participant I will be contributing, as strange and disconcerting as they may be, my thoughts on the process and anything else that comes to mind during this time.

As I start the program, I am curious, pragmatic—as always, and waiting to be surprised. I also wonder:

  • Will I learn anything new?
  • How useful are these tools for my patrons?
    • How PRACTICAL are these tools for my patrons?
  • How many of these tools will be obsolete by the end of the program?
  • Can I really fit this all into my busy work schedule?
  • How did I luck into a job that pays me to play with online resources?

What happens next; will I last the entire time, or cave and just play Mahjong online? Stay tuned to find out.
