My cat didn't get killed by her curiosity, but she sure got messed up! Somehow she fell into a vat of old motor oil and in trying to escape, got one of her front paws stuck under her collar. When she came in the cat door, I thought she was half dead. On closer inspection, she was just a greasy, nasty mess. Many baths with dish detergent and bowls of milk later (to line her stomach) she was good as new.
I don't know what the moral of that story was, but maybe just be prepared for some surprises on Curiosity Road!
I always thought I was a curious person, but there's something about the enormous amount of choice and complexity, as well as the shortage of time, that act as obstacles to really feeling comfortable with Web 2.0. My forays into Netvibes, Widgetbox and Clippl today left me, after watching a video on the Humboldt Squid (?) [see what I mean about time?], as usual, still wondering what I would even DO with all those things. Especially in the library world. Not that I don't have fun exploring. But it's that sort of never-ending, time-consuming, really fun, but not really getting anywhere pertinent activity that prevents me from spending work time looking at ways to update my skills.
Want to write more, but I need to leave this computer.....
