I love mosaics!!!! I fell in love with them in a Roman art and architecture class where they were very popular form of art. i have created many of my own using photo programs and also physical mosaics that i have hung on my wall. My senior year yearbook cover was actualaly a mosaic of all the senior photos, which was in part my idea!!! The flickr montager is cool beacuse when u roll your mouse over teh little images it allows u to see a bigger thumbnail of the image while still getting to see the image as a whole which is the awesome thing about a mosaic. Its like a main message shown through lots of little messages or in this case photos that can tell a message. Really cool!

flickr blog for #6
The Commons seems really interesting. It is a window into history with some of the most important photo archives in the world like the U.S. Library of Congress and the Smithsonian and others!! Heaven for any history buff such as myself and I know there were a lot in this class so I thought this would be cool!!! I had no idea flickr even existed so this is a really cool tool to look at old pictures and thngs like that. Good find.

The Headquarters of Robert E. Lee during the Civil War. This is interesting that he would have headquarters so far north into Gettysburg, PA but also makes sense since this was the center of the fighting in 1863 when he established his headquarters here. I have always been fascinated by Robert E. Lee because of his stance on the civil war. While he was born of Virginia which was a southern state, he was actually against the idea of slavery which was of course one of the main issues of the civil war. However, back then a man’s loyalty was often to the home state and not to a nation. Nowadays we consider ourselves Americans overall, not New Yorkers, but back then you were a person of your state. Lee was a Virginian he said he could never have gone against his own homeland of Virginia. He actually turned down an offer to be head of the Union army because of this. The man was a genius and if it wasn’t for the manufacturing advantage of the North I believe Lee would have been very capable of having the south take the war.
Thanks!!!

Thoughts on 23 Things exercise 1 & 2.
23 Learning things to do
1. Its ok to play!!!! You can have fun. Just because you are in a library setting does not mean you can't have fun with the internet.
2. 7 and half habits of successful lifelong learners: let go of old-school learning experiences.
Learning does not have to be done in this way and probably wont be done for most of your life.
Life long learners put learning first and put you in control of your outcome.
Life long learning can start at any age at any time in any place.All about attitude!
A. Easiest habit- Begin with the end in mind.I always have a plan and know how I am going to get there.
B. Hardest habit- View problems as challenges. While i always have a plan I have a hard time straying from my plan and often get discouraged when things dont always go the way i want them to.
