Life before the Internet
When I look back to when I was in school and didn't have the Internet and all the wonderful things you can do now with the Internet, I find that finding information and learning is so much more fun.

Blogging in the libraries
It would be nice to post reference questions that are stumpers. Maybe another librarian reading the post might know the answer or be intrigued to find out the answer.
Knowing what other librarians are reading would be interesting.
If students are looking for a certain topic and a librarian came up with a bibliography of books for that topic, it would be useful to share bibliographies with other libraries in our system.

Online Training
I think independent learning is great and hope to see more online training related to our work in libraries.
My goal is to learn the technologies presented well enough to recommend them to others and be able to get people started on them.
I like being able to work on the 23 things at my own pace yet have a deadline to finish a certain amount every week.
I love challenges. My first challenge was coming up with a blog name. I wish there were more tools and ideas for making a name. I didn't like the names the different name sites gave.
The last habit is the best. The more fun learning something is, the more one wants to do it. If learning something is boring, too difficult or frustrating, then I do it just to do it because I have to but I resent doing it and it won't be learned well.
I think the most difficult part will be podcasting since it'll need extra equipment.
