Loving the progress meter, (thanks Christine & Vicky, for showing me the light) despite the fact that the Zokutou site is currently down and I can't update mine...I've a visual person. When I write, I see scenes unfold before my eyes. I won't trade my diary for a Palm Pilot , Blackberry or whatever is the technical device du jour, because if I can't see it on paper, in 'context', it just doesn't make sense to me. Tell me directions, I'll get lost. Show me a map and it's forever etched in my brain. Tell me your name and chances are I won't be shouting it out, but if you're wearing a name tag - I'll never forget you.
This brings me back to the progress meters. I love that I can see clearly where I stand. When I hit 'word count' on my toolbar, the number 6,000 means very little to me, but when I SEE it, as 20% of the 30,000 goal, my mind clicks and I instantly understand how far I've come and how far I need to go. The abstract becomes the concrete. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I'm thinking of adding a progress meter to keep track of the 50 BOOK CHALLENGE, and, call me crazy, but also my workouts! If I aim to do 13 workout sessions per month (ave 3/week), I'll be able to SEE my progress. Whoopee!! And this is far more sane than trying to track my weight,...

Wait how do you get those progress widget things. I think I missed that.
Love the title Big Bang Theory. heehee.
That's what I liked about NaNo seeing that little blue line go up and up.
I'm more of a show me once and I'll never forget. I'm good with going somewhere once and always knowing how to get there. I'm good with faces, but not names.
Amy - click on the progress meter - mine or Vicky or Christine's) and it will take you to Zokutou site. From there it's easy-peasy. Except that this site is currently down and has been all blinking day.
OMG - do you think I broke it??
LOL! I've done that a couple of times, and thought WHAT DID I DO!
I'll check the widget out.
Wylie - you know the progress meter you used in your picture... I actually use those on my website.. the little potatoe guys celebrate with a beer when you finish your wordcount! I love them.
