23rd task!

a few thoughts...

here i am on the last day possible to complete 23 things, doing my last task. that in itself says something about the experience really. i started off early on aiming to keep up with the tasks as they rolled out, but dropped behind by week 5. some things i had already incorporated in how i use the internet and various web 2.0 features. i had an igoogle page set up, i think google maps is fascinating. other tasks added to that .
i'm glad i've done the tasks. i feel i could have been more articulate.

i did choose to put my name to my blog, but sometimes i wonder whether i fully expressed my views or withheld opinion. i think personal privacy in relation to some of the social function of web 2.0, especially facebook, leaves me feeling a bit awkward. Having said that though, there are new communication possibilities. it's another way in which we see society and the way we relate change and yet somehow remain the same. (what a cliche to end on!)

postscript.
i've enjoyed looking at people's blogs. it's been fascinating to see the variety of interests swinburne library people have. japanese film and culture and doctor who have been highlights.
i will probably be keeping on with this blog, but it will concentrate on the art side of my existence from now on. stay tuned. i'm having an exhibition in April. details soon.
