Health, Wellness, and Technology... oh, my!

This weeks lesson was great. It gave a lot of wonderful information. I know that for me, exercising is not labeled as 'fun' and I usually get bored (but mostly lazy) when it comes to exercising. This week's blog gave me some ideas on how to make it more interesting. Wii is definitely awesome, but I never considered the games as exercise. They do have a new 'game' out called Wii Fit that I have been wanting, but just like the console, it's impossible to find. I have also been intrigued with the Nike/iPod connection since it came out. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a runner, so I highly doubt I'll put the concept into use.

I haven't yet, but when I get home I'll probably check out the MP3 based workouts and see if any would work for me.

Until next time...

Learn 2.1

Well here we are again. I'm excited to get Learn 2.1 rolling. I enjoyed learning Learn 2.0 last year and I'm hoping that Learn 2.1 will have the same, if not more, to offer.

I'm not much of a blogger, but I do like to explore other blogs from time to time. The video that Tom put up, "Blogging in Plain English," was neat-o and it helped to iterate what I like best about blogging. That being, it is a community where bloggers go to each others' blogs and read them, comment them, and even link back to those entries on their own blogs.

I downloaded Google Chrome and am already intrigued. It gives you a visual list of your most visited sites.

I suppose that's it for this week. Now I need to go and try to get these blogging songs out of my head.
