I visited the 23 Things wiki on Mediawiki and Wetpaint and posted my blog under favorite blogs and added some favorite books and restaurants.  Kind of fun once you get the hang of it.  It took me a little bit to figure out how to post my blog (forgot to high light before I clicked on the globe/link icon) and then forgot to “SAVE”, but figured it out.

Dipping my toes in so to speak is fun, but I am starting to feel some information overload – how much information do we really need?  Why do we feel we need it?  Is it to exert some illusion of control in a world that seems out of control most of the time?  When we spend a lot of our time blogging about things and places and thoughts we are removing ourselves from the experiences of life and replacing those experiences with a very controlled experience on the computer.  Hmm..I’m sure other folks have pondered and written about this in a much more cogent fashion.
