2013-365 With a Twist!

As one year draws to a close and another begins my RSS reader fills up with 'The Top [fill in a number] of MUST HAVE [fill in an item]' posts. And the other posts that tend to populate my reader is the [next year] 365 Photography posts. Don't get me wrong -- I like a challenge just as much as the next person (granted, I never made it past the month of January, but that's my issue) and I will more than likely participate in and host a few of these myself.  (Shameless plug: Check out the 2013-365 Photo a Day (Education) Community on Google+ and while you're at it, check it out on Flickr as well).

Since we are always sharing out how wonderful our PLNs are I thought we should take this 2013-365 to another level (or perhaps 'playing field' would be a more accurate term). Let's use the power of Twitter to share out ONE tip a day (use the hashtag, #tipaday - yes, I already did a search to make sure the hashtag was neither taken nor inappropriate -- happy to report it doesn't currently exist). Let's see what we can curate. The tip can be tech related, it can be related to housekeeping (I really NEED some of those tips!), it can be trip related, you decide --> you Tweet!

The Perfect 365 Project

Let's face it, my track records for 365 Projects haven't been great. In fact, they've been downright dismal (even when I was the 'Administrator' of a 365 project). Well, I've come upon the PERFECT 365 Project, one I KNOW I will follow through on.

It's the 'One Thing a Day' 365 Project. That's right, I have to do ONE thing a day. Now that's something I think I can follow through on. Of course, there's a catch (there always has to be a catch -- I can't quite seem to leave well enough alone). I will be recording (medium to be determined) that ONE thing. If it is a drawing, I'll take a picture of it; if it's a musical score (that's a hoot! Have you ever heard me even try to whistle a tune?) I'll audio record it; if it's a new dance move I'll video tape it (uh, on second thought that might not be such a great idea), it it's a new dish, I'll photograph the 'plat du jour', add the recipe and upload it to, well, somewhere.

I'm toying with using Tumblr as the repository since it's short & sweet, and can easily accommodate images, text, audio, and video. And I can do a quick post via my smartphone as well.

So are any of you toying with a 365 project for 2012?
