Blast off - the final module
The final countdown!
Made it to the finishing post this year without 'breaking down' or being 'scratched' like last year.
The best learning is when you just 'play with it'. And it seems the internet and all those wacky applications are designed for people with lots of 'play time'.
ie those with spare time.
However, the only parts of the Web 2 that I find myself using are those that have a direct application to something I need to do in my real life.
Turning Margaret Thatcher into Hilary Clinton via Hairmix it is fun.
But a good use of my time. I think not.

Kissed awake by Prince Learning
The Sleeping Beauty of blogspot Miss Twinset has just been awoken by the kiss of Learning 2.0. Asleep since December 2007 she is ready to give it another whirl.

Well I have wizzed through Wikis, played in the sandbox and slithered through the maze of RSSssss. And what my 'learning' has prompted me to think about is the curious way technology gets named.
Thats me, always off at some tangent.
Why do some technologies get known by apropriating other English words, or words other languages lsuch as the use of Hawaiian Wiki?
And others end up with the 'jargon' terms of a string of initials like RSS. Or OPAC, and PDF where you are always thinking what did those initials stand for again? Named by the unimaginative, or short and snappy? This category can be prey to terrible jokes; who could forget when NASA stood for 'need another seven astronaughts'.
Well RSS feeds, I can see they are useful to winnow out (now there is an anacronistic term appropriated by the electronic world) the chalf and leave the grains of information. (Just had to complete that anology.) But this isn't this what 'alerts' used to do? Remember those? Alerts, but not as in Be alert, Australia needs lerts.
Will terminate now, because this communication has deteriorated to the very silly.
