lifelong learning

I'm embarking on a new adventure in lifelong learning: An old writer learns new online tricks, such as how to blog and I'm not sure what else. Thanks to my colleague Jill Chance for alerting me to the National Network of Libraries of Medicine's "13 Things" online class (also a new experience, to take a class on my computer). I am a health writer and editor at a government contractor who hopes to learn about this brave new world of online stuff and to apply what's useful to my work for years to come. I didn't grow up with this stuff, so it's a little scary. But I vow to step out of my comfort zone. Wish me luck!
