I must admit, I freaked out when I saw this assignment. Setting this up was pain free as possible and smooth sailing. I am excited to blog with everyone in class.
I too was, and am still, weary about this assignment. Internet technology is not an area that I will ever expect to be able to claim comfort with doing. In fact, aside from UR related functions, I really do not enjoy exploring the world wide web. It is an area that has intimidated me so I have chosen just to pretend that I do not need to know how to use what the Internet has to offer. Now I have come to a point where it is needed and if I do not try than I will be even more handicapped later on when it will be much harder to learn.
What did you think of the first section of the book? The introduction was very interesting was it not? I found that the simple language made it very easy for me to understand. I was expecting some type of revelation and deep profound wording that would make me feel more in touch with the concept of happiness. Instead of that complicated diction, the simple messages and descriptions were far better at accomplishing this than the more "sophisticated" expectations that I had would have been. Overall, the book made me really want to strive for some goals but to be honest, I felt for the first time since I don’t know when, a sense of happiness for the moment. I am really happy in my life and have no room to complain. Family, work, play-they are all there. I am always looking so far ahead that I never really have the feeling of true happiness for the current-instead it has always been one of mild content which is undermined by the need to take the next step. What do you think? Did the book make you feel the same, different, or a little of both?
Blogging. WOW. Times are really changing and I am not ready. But I have no other choice but to adapt to this day and age. The Pursuit of Happiness is a great book easy read but very informative. Like you Nathaniel I have little to complaine about but everyday I find something. I really must watch that. I'm almost certain this book will give me a realty check.

I know what you mean. I was nervous about this assignment as well. Thankfully like you said, it was easy and painless.
