Weaving

At this stage I am actually getting organized!  I set up some links on Delicious:

http://delicious.com/shumphrey574 

That at least gets me looking at them and now I can look at them at work or at school or wherever.  I didn't know that feature of Delicious, allowing me to see my bookmarks anywhere.  I do like learning new things, especially ones that I foresee making my life easier.  Yeah it's just a little thing, but a potential time saver down the line.  And I can use it in a variety of ways.  

Oh and I also searched Belgian Beer while at Delicious, there are over 1000 bookmarks already registered.  Thanks to labeling I presume.  Reminding me to label this post now.  

I have also been saving a few images, I don't think I mentioned that yet.  Those will likely appear in the final portion of the project.  Or they may not depending on how this goes.  I also emailed The Union of Belgian Brewers.  According to www.beerparadise.bu this union is one of the oldest professional associations in the world and all Belgian breweries belong to it.  Among the questions I asked were about the glassware and designs, why brewing is considered an art in Belgium, how does beer fit into Belgian culture.  I hope I hear back from them.  

In Stripling's Curriculum Connections, Harada states that as society changes, the skills that citizens need to negotiate the complexities of life also change.  I don't think she was specifically talking about my ability to learn Delicious, but it is one of the technological changes that we also need to learn to negotiate the complexities of information access and organization.  Just like labels on posts help to organize catalogs and searches.
