Week 2 - Lifelong Learning

Well, I'm a little behind in these assignments (already!), and I just listened to the 71/2 Habits presentation right after having listened to Barack Obama's inaugural address. For eloquence and inspiration, I'll take Barack any day. The presentation was a little bit oversimplified, but could serve as a good basic introduction. I thought the first few slides just emphasized that, really, everyone is a lifelong learner.

Getting my feet wet

So far wading into web 2.0 & the blogosphere hasn't been too painful. I feel I am on my way to becoming cool, possibly even geeky.
A quick govinfo note, since that's the title of the blog: has everyone noticed that the Statistics Canada website has changed its address to : www.statcan.gc.ca ? They have also redesigned their webpage to conform with Government of Canada "common look and feel" standards - in my opinion, a step backward, making it not quite as easy to navigate. Nonetheless, an invaluable site.
