for myself, not by myself

After eating turkey all weekend I wish my blog was wiki enabled, so that others could help me write and edit my post this week. Loud music (Gabber of course) and a latte in my hand did little to help me over come the long read and the warm go to sleep, go to sleep feeling of my computer sitting on my lap. But even through the grogginess there was excitement of the working potential of Wikinomics.

I hope that the ideas about blogging and emailing at work becomes an accepted practice, how many of us know people in the same field across the country or perhaps the world that when questions about software, etc come up that contacting them would be more effective then say technical support. How effective is getting one answer to something, when many answers or directions could be tapped with in the same time frame, especially when the job is time sensitive.

After reading about the potential, and the experience so far, and what will continue in this class as far as the Web 2.0, how different things will look outside this class. I got into graphic design because I wanted to have fun at work. I do have fun as a designer, but now I want the online gaming kind of fun too. Ya now I’m spoiled, I bet my corporate lawyer friend just wants graphic designer fun. Tee-hee! I hope to create more of that atmosphere for myself now that I am more aware of its existance and its potential to get work done, whether I continue to work for someone else, or work for myself but not by myself.
