Turning German?

October 8, 2010

I’ve been trying to decide what I want to do with this blog (and my life) over the last few weeks. I’ll oscillate between wanting to quit blogging (actually, I was in this state most of the time) and trying to remind myself that blogging was a big part of my life and gave me [...]

Bits and Pieces

July 20, 2010

I’ve decided that you guys are right, I should take an official break, cause otherwise I’m always thinking that I should try to write something and that puts a small amount of stress on my shoulders that I can do without at the moment.  But, I don’t think I want to give up blogging completely [...]

Social networking or round, round, round, round, I get around

June 26, 2007

A little while ago, I got invited by friends to join LinkedIn and Facebook. I decided to take the opportunity to check out some of the other social networking sites as well. Facebook is great. I really dig it, but it would be better if I had a few more friends (I’ve got 8 at [...]
