Heard a terrific interview on Radio National last week with Richard Aedy interviewing a surgeon called Mohamed Khadra about his new book based on his experiences "healing with steel". He talks about his first experience cutting into somebody with a scalpel and how basically he stuffed up. As he says it was a case of moving from "unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence". In other words you suddenly realise that it's all a lot harder than it looks and that perhaps you don't know it all after all. Sort of feeling that way at the moment about L2.0 - but this is good. As they say in the classics..... "It's all shiny".
The link to the "Life Matters" program is here.
The book is called "Making the cut: a surgeon's memoir of life on the edge" by Mohamed Khadra.
And yes it is available in your local library soon.

Scary thought. Fortunately learning by doing in our case is not life-threatening! Welcome to the wonderful world of personal blogging!
hey there michelle - love your avatar!
I was thinking the same thing.
Well done Paul!
Cheers, webgurl
I cannot believe that I shared an office with you for one whole long year and you talked non-stop, constantly interrupting my important work, some days I could not get a word in and yet you are strangely silent when it comes to blogs.It's week 3 and you only have one post. Have your renowned communication skills left you? Open up your inner most thoughts to the world, Amante, we promise not to laugh.
Thank you for the comments all..... the Burden Family motto is "Festina Lente" - again you'll have to check out "Oxford Reference Online" to find out what it means!
Cheers, Paul.
