One Week

Wow! I can't believe that I've been away from the blogosphere for almost a week now. We've actually been traveling around that's why. My Hubby drove all the way from Thailand to Malaysia and we will be driving down all the way back again tomorrow. It's quite a long travel and a long drive and that explains my Hubby's back pain.My Hubby has been having constant back pain for quite sometime now.

Approximately one week ago, Apple’s revolutionary iPhone 3G went on sale in Canada at 8:00AM at the six Rogers Plus locations in Canada. Yours truly, along with hundreds of others flocked like sheep to wait in line for the iPhone 3G. What changed my mind (and a lot of others as well I’m presuming) was [...]

The Israeli Shipping Company that moved out of the WTC one week prior to 9/11 That a company moved from one place to another is not news, it happens all the time. But for a company partially owned by the state of Israel to move out of the WTC one week before the attacks and forfeit $50,000.00 in broken lease fees is news. And where has Zim moved part of its operations to? Houston, T

I'll be back to work on June 7. That day would be the start of my life as a working mom. I'll be on work from 9am to 6pm (would be late sometimes and as always). Then at night, I'll be a blogger and be taking care of my baby.I just hope I can do all those things at the same time. I can't imagine myself doing all those things. When I'm awake late from about 1:30 am to 4:00 am taking care of my

Yup three of my four week trip has already been swallowed by lots of fun and adventuring. For the last 2 weeks I have been in a little town called Culpeper in Virginia spending time with my brother, his fiance and friends. It's much slower than New York but still fun. I lost my camera charger sometime during the trip from New York to Culpeper but I finally got a replacement yesterday at Curcuit C

We posted this video before. However, knowing that Lil Wayne Carter just sold himself 1,005,545 albums in a week is making big players like Rihanna and Kanye cry in their martini. Good for you Lil Wayne. Rock it like a pimp because no one has made sales like that happen in years. I am just sick with envy. Oh and I still want a ride in your 18-wheeler limo. God knows you could afford to bring me.

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter 3 has lived up to the hype, by selling over 1 million albums (1,005,545 units) in its first week, according to Nielson Soundscan. Lil Wayne in a video statement, had this to say for making his album the best selling album of the year. Video inside.

It's that time of year again, with Nadal taking on Djokovic in the final of the Artois Championships and Wimbledon only one week away.On-street parking is not permitted anywhere within the local vicinity of the All England Club during the two weeks of the Championships, so if you're visiting Wimbledon for the day get in early and rent a parking space near Wimbledon now.

According to early reports Lil’ Wayne’s The Carter 3 sold a ridiculously absurd astonishing 400,000 copies on the first day of it’s release!!!! Looks like you guys were lying to us... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

There have been supercharger sitings, rumors and blogs galore, but to date, TRD isn’t talkin’ - not even to confirm the alleged June 16,2008 release of a new Tundra 5.7-liter blower that will ratchet the 400 horsepower rating up by 125 percent. NOTE: This was written prior to news about the TRD Tundra Supercharger Specs - [...]

Today, the rumors have been surrounding a thinner iPhone that has a better battery life and GPS support. These rumors aren’t exactly new, and they are being bundled as one “unconfirmed” rumor. Before talking about this latest rumor, it would be important to cite Kevin Rose’s new claim that the iPhone may have a cheaper counterpart [...]

Seven days ... 168 hours ... 4,032 minutes to go until the baby's estimated arrival, but who's counting???Okay, I am! I'm going nuts waiting for this kid to arrive. Especially after our false alarm last Tuesday. It became so much more apparent the baby could show up ANY time now, and I'm definitely ready for it. Perhaps not ready in the terms of I know how to do everything, but the fear of actuall

Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto IV was released last week Tuesday, the 29th of April. Today Take Two announced that it has broken entertainment records for day one and week one by dollar value. GTA IV has sold an estimated 6 million units worldwide, amounting to a retail value of over $500 million in the first week. It sold approximately 3.6 million units on its opening day, racking up $310 million worldwide.Earlier in the week Chart Track announced that GTA IV sold 926 000 copies (£39.9 million) in its first week in the UK. The title debuted at the top of the chart as the biggest All Formats number 1 ever, after selling an estimated 631 000 copies in the first 24 hours.

As I type this message I will be passing the one week (7 days / 168 hours / 10080 minutes) mark since I last smoked a cigarette. And all I want to know is where are the benefits?!? Last night Z and I went out for a seafood dinner. Neither my senses [...]

First, it was H who was wheezing and coughing on Tuesday. Three days later, it's W who had a fever due to his sore throat and cough. Both had to take a day off from school. Fortunately, it isn't examination season yet for H. For W, he's still too young to be affected from being absent from school. It's mentally stressful worrying about their condition. It's bye-bye to RM135 (about USD40) in just four days. Thank Goodness, they are fine now though W is still not 100% well yet.

To the readers of this blog,I hope that you are still up for whatever that this blog could offer.I also hope that you realized that last week was April Fool's, and that I was just kidding.I hope, too, that you were fooled.But at the same time, I hope that you didn't take that seriously.I'm back.-xoxo

The holidays have finally started. One week’s break is never enough, but still, better than nothing.I foresee there will not be much work done though; I’m always slow when there is too much “free” time.Even though there are many works awaiting for completion, at least, I have the freedom to plan my own time for this week.Hope I can get to meet up with friends.

Sorry, I haven't had any posts in the past few days. As mentioned last week, I am starting a new job and will have intense training over the course of the next week. I have been bogged down reading 3 manuals (one is 5 lbs!), taking online tests, and with completing all sorts of forms and paperwork. As a result, there was no time to post anything.Anyway, today I am running all sorts of last minute errands and won't have time to write a post. I am traveling tomorrow, March 27th and will return on Friday, April 4th. My next post will be on Monday, April 7th.Thanks for your patience. As always, check the archives and resources for posts and information.

Several days ago I started using tracking service from StatCounter. I’d chosen to start with free service. And it’s been more than a week they track my blog’s stats. I’m just wondering is it better than ExtremeTracking that I’m using until now. So I would like to gather as much as information for a week long. I’ve been watching these stats from Feb 16th (Saturday) until Feb 22nd (Friday).So here

When you have the right information, climbing to the top of Google in a very short period of time is entirely within your reach. I am living proof. Two weeks ago, I launched my new website, and now I have multiple listings on page one of the Google search results. An Empirical Truth Scientists make their way in the world relying upon empirical truths. For those who are unaware, an empirical truth can be defined as, "verifiable or provable by means of repeatable observation or experiment." In essence, if you can observe it once, then it is interesting. But, when you can repeat the experiment and achieve the same observations multiple times, then you have evidence of an empirical truth. >From my own observations, what I am about to tell you is an empirical truth, because I have observed it h

For all of the well-intentioned procrastinators – like me – out there, this is crunch time. Only seven days remain to the February 26 meeting date of the Wine Book Club. For this first edition, we selected Vino Italiano by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch. Dr. Debs, the rest of the club coordinators and I knew from the outset that a 500-page, two-month assignment would be an endurance effort, so I hope everyone’s still hanging in there. Any bloggers planning to participate or simply willing to help are encouraged to spread the word by posting reminders on their own sites.For those in need of a refresher on the whole club thing, check out the following entries:The original Wine Book Club announcement, with complete game rules.My previous Wine Book Club reminder, including some qu

Christmas is closing in and with that a few weeks of relaxation. I’ll be spending the holidays with my parents in Jönköping this year. To make sure the walls won’t be closing in to tight I brought my share of books to keep my occupied. As usual these last year the list constitutes fact oriented books. This year the theme will be effects on and the detritions and conservation of archaeological materials.PÃ¥verkan pÃ¥ arkeologiskt material i jord (The effects of soil on archaeological artifacts) - Anders G.

I came across this photo essay on the time.com website a while back. It shows a picture of a family and the food they eat in a week, along with the price and a few of their favorite foods. You can find the link here. It’s well worth a look. A few things surprised me when I looked at this. I actually read through it a few times. Is this how much people typically spend on food? I’ll have to admit that for a very long time I never paid attention to the food bills. I just bought what I wanted at the grocery store, usually going without a list, and then paid at the end and never tracked what I spent. As Melissa and I chose to live fully aware of our spending, we started tracking our food bills very closely. On an average week, we live on about $75 worth of food. When the month is tight, we can pull that weekly total down to $50 (and have managed to get it down to less than $40 when we had to). Some families (granted, there is going to be some difference based on curr

As the end of my first week of work was coming to a close, I finally got a working computer. Well, sort of. I still don't have access to the program I need to do part of my job. But close enough for government work, right? Seriously, my computer was hooked up at 4 o'clock this afternoon. That gave me enough time to go through most of my email for the week. Boy, do they send around a lot of pointless email at the government. My lack of computer contributed to my lack of real work today. Instead I spent the majority of my day stealing furniture for my office. It was kind of like that one red paper clip guy except I started with nothing and ended up with a decent table for my office. It is not easy getting furniture from the government. First you have to find what it is you want (a small table) and then get a junky computer table that is falling apart and is missing laminate and then talk people into trading the shitty table for a better table. Once you convince someone that

Today I took off from work to take care of CondoFiasco. It has been a week since I went public with my idea. I have basically made $600 with the links. Kinda far to go still ($284,400 to be exact). It is, though, very encouraging. I have made some new friends and at the very least word got out about my situation. I’m glad I took the day off as I could add links (friends of CF posts and the map). By the way, I should mention that I only have time to update the site at night so don’t freak out if your link doesn’t go up immediately. Tomorrow I have the interview with CNBC in Miami and I suspect it will be a serious one so I have to prepare myself mentally.

Several of the newest episodes of CW Network’s programing will be free for limited time. The move is similar to FOX’s method of capturing audiences by giving away the first week free through iTunes. For one week, “Aliens in America,” “Life is Wild,” “Everybody Hates Chris,” “Girlfriends,” and “Supernatural” will be in the iTunes TV section for free. The rest of the seasons’ episodes will duplicate the normal iTunes store structure. Episodes will then be priced at $1.99 each. CW’s free week on iTunes comes after a similar two-week free trial from Fox. The network declined to disclose how many people took advantage of the free downloads. Source: DJ Newswires The move may be a sign for the future of television program and its available delivery means. By testing the response to free online TV shows, the broadcasters can better understand the future success of a show and possibly hook viewers early. The mo

We leave for Denver a week from Wednesday, which means Eric is leaving for Cleveland a week from tomorrow. He goes to Cleveland on Sunday, Allie and I go to Denver on Wednesday, and meet-up in Denver on Friday. Being away from his girls makes Mr. Bear very, very sad. I think it is the cutest thing ever, although I do empathize. I do not know what I would do with myself for five days without the two of them (Conversely, there is a secret part of me that would love to find out what I would do for five days by myself. !Like use the bathroom by myself! Shower by myself! Not pick up Cheerios off the recently vacuumed carpet or wipe a butt not my own! !For five whole days! Yeah, I sympathize with him. *wink* *wink*) I have come to terms with my shin splint issue and I am fully willing and motivated to cross-train until the pain is alleviated. I should have been icing weeks ago and I knew I should have stretched better before jumping in the pack at track practice on Tuesday. I hope to

With the passing of Michael Jackson, Beer Blogging Friday founder Stan Hieronymus and I have decided to dedicate next week's event to Michael's memory. His influence on beer journalism and beer appreciation is a great gift that he gave to all. Here's to The Beer Hunter. Just a week to go before the next Beer Blogging Friday. The Brew Zoo is the topic selected for The Session #7. The basic rule is that either the brewery or the beer must have a real live creature in its name. We will also allow beers with prominent animal label art (think Geary's Ale from Maine and its Lobster) to be added to the Brew Zoo.Why pick a whimsical topic like this for such a serious event as Beer Blogging Friday? I know I'm out of the edge on this one, but perhaps I am just a little bit concerned about the impact of global warming on the temperature of my beer and the resulting endangered species status of some hard to find animal brews. Has anyone seen an Emu Bitter lately? How about a 12-Horse Ale? I h

Toronto, Canada's quirky popsters Barenaked Ladies were never ones to follow a trend. They were more interested in making someone laugh than being astute and serious. Most of all, a friendship consumed this band, and that bond cemented their place in alternative rock. Teenage friends Ed Robertson and Steven Page found themselves laughing at the innocent and childlike term "barenaked lady" while attending a Bob Dylan concert in 1988. Both Robertson and Page agreed that it would make a funny band name, and since the duo was already into rock music and playing guitar, the Barenaked Ladies were born. Joining them were bass man Jim Creeggan, his brother Andy on keyboards, and drummer Tyler Stewart, and the Barenaked Ladies began to blend their comic relief sensibilities inside an eclectic mix of jazz, folk, and rock. The famous self-titled Yellow Tape (1991) captured BNL's first independently recorded material. However, Canadians weren't too fond of the group's naïveté. They were bran

If you didn’t know your passion in life, would you throw everything aside to search for it? Such is the premise for my friend’s One Week Job project. Since February, he’s been traveling around Canada working a job a week, meeting new people, learning new skills, and generally experiencing continual uncertainty. It’s like traveling…on steroids. And recently, he managed to drag me along for the ride. I’ve taken on the role of filmographer - shooting, editing, and producing weekly episodes based on his jobs. We’ve spent the last few weeks in Toronto and it’s already been a wild ride: working at a brewery, a tattoo parlour, and now the largest cancer research hospital in Canada. Episode #2 from New Tribe Tattoo Parlour was just published today. Have a watch, and if you like it, it would help both of us greatly if you spread the word. Any feedback is also appreciated!

Simply Delicioso with Ingrid HoffmanSunset DinnerTamarind Glazed Baby Back RibsMango and Red Cabbage SlawHot Corn with Chimichurri ButterTequila Sunrise PunchTo get the recipes:Click hereI finally got around to watching last weekend's Simply Delicioso. But I had a bit of a bonus (and not in a good way), before I even began. On the tape was the last 3 minutes of Rachael's Chicken Under A Brick show. And, believe me that was all I needed to see.Rachael wiped her dirty pan with bread and called it dinner (along with 3 of the biggest platters of chicken I’ve ever seen.) Then she told us that you can thin down any fruit spread, jam or jelly with vinegar and some EVOO and salt and pepper for a salad dressing. And “you’re good to go”. She was using orange marmalade, which admittedly I do hate, but the concept is still horrible. How about just using the “EVOO” (you know…quote unquote with your fingers) and skipping the fruit spread, jam or jelly altogether? (Can’t you just se

Hello everyone !! I grab this opportunity to thank all for the recent commentaries in this board. Well, today I bring you something that I felt need this days. As is your knowledge recently I took a short break in Palma Maiorca last month, as usual my digital goes always with me and used it to shoot over 650 photos in one week, do you believe? yah, 650!!!! So, when I came from my vacations, I started to browse on the web for an online store to buy a digital picture frame, and quickly I have found one web site that probably next week I’ll make my purchase, called Digital Framez. At digitalframze.com you’ll find modern technology for your photos; it is an online electronic store ready to help you!! They’re specialised in LCD digital photo frames. All the type of photo frames can be ordered on-line internationally from this site. Currently if you buy a digital photo frame from Digital Framez that is 9″ or 10″ they’ll also throw in a free 128Mb memory card ! Digital frames are

Ouch, now I am tired. What I have been working with new websites the last week. Two days ago my oldest son and I released our site about drinks (in Swedish, I am sorry): Drinkmixen.Of course we will continue and fill it with more information. One week ago I published a webpage about investing in stockmarket: Aktieskolan. It is very interesting, in Sweden they count about that half of the population own stocks in some way. It makes that to the biggest organisation for the Swedish population. Thats a sort of democracy that people own things. Still of course there is just to many people who never can dream about invest in anything. Still we need to work for reducing the gap between they who have and they who have nothing. Now I have publish a webpage about how to travel to and travel in Japan: Japanresor. It is also in Swedish. You know, my English still sucks to muck, I could not make a real informationpage in English. I think I maybe should start a blog with the title: My English

It's 12:21 p.m. and I've been up for nearly two hours now. Sleeping in late is so fun! I woke up 2 or 3 times but chose to go back to sleep. My year has been so hectic juggling school, the kid's sport schedule, work, etc. My hubby works every Saturday, bless his heart, but it's only until 12 o'clock. I called him up to ask where he was at 12:06 because we went (correction) 'we want' to eat Chinese food!We really don't have many good restaurants around here and I've gotten to where I absolutely hate fast food restaurants just because of the bad service. Our Mexican restaurants is good and we know the owner really well, sometimes we get discounts or the kids get a little something extra.I'm starving ... wish he would hurry up already!I don't know what I'm gonna do today. I feel like because it is my 'vacation' I should do something or go somewhere. I don't wanna travel because we've been on the road a lot this year. First we went to Orlando for Christmas, then Kentucky, t

Claiborne and her husband retired from active management of the company in 1989 in order to pursue environmental and charity work. The Liz Claiborne and Art Ortenberg Foundation was established in 1989 to provide support for protection of the wilderness.

In a move that could mark a change for the more interesting in internet film distribution, indie-cult fave Four Eyed Monsters is now on YouTube. This isn't a trailer mind you, it's the entire 71 minute flick that has played Slamdance, a small theatrical run, and is available on DVD. This special version is being sponsored by Spout.com who will give the filmmakers $1 (up to $100,000) for every new registered member that comes through the Four Eyed Monsters' site on Spout.This is an interesting setup (which CinemaTech calls a "bounty" model), which promotes the film, earns some cash, and gives Spout a boost. It's also a step in the right direction for the Holy Grail of Indie distribution, which is totally DIY, excludes any kind of midddleman, and puts as much money in the pocket of the filmmakers as possible.Directors and actors Arin Crumley and Susan Brice aren't doing everything themselves (they use Bside.com), but they are relentless self-promoters and have done an amazing job of

I made it to horse camp. We were all intact. There were mosquitoes, bunk beds and silly little girls; I met some fun ladies aka the 'Moms' of said silly girls. I was proud that I made it through a rough night's sleep and really bad food. (Not what the doctor ordered.)But I am glad we went and I saw Lexi ride a horse for the first time. The weekend was busy, and I had a great time with family and friends. I ate too much, laughed too much and even drank a little booze. I felt pretty good.Enter Monday. It all caught up with me.I am beginning to understand that I am on a budget; my wages have been diced. When I borrow too much, the creditors start hounding me and one way or another, I will pay.I don't regret my fun weekend. It's just that Monday was rough. I bathed in Batherapy and wondering if I could go through the day, with green paste slabbed on me. Would the kindergarten class notice?The 'normal' zinging sensation in my feet have been punctuated with jolts, that make

A week from tonight I will be sitting by the campfire thinking about a morning of fishing for pike and walleye in the morning, shooting some footage for the blog and trying to catch lunch so I can be filled up on my way out to the bear stand in the afternoon.I keep looking at the great pictures of the bears taken and dreaming of the big one. I got my new nocks from Burt Coyote and I am ready to go! I have Easton Full Metal Jacket arrows at 400 grains and Steel Force Broadheads being chased out of my Mathews Switchback at about 280fps or more! I am hitting patterned groups of 3 inches at 30 yards.Can you tell I am excited!!!!!!!!Huntinglife.com is a project I am taking on to create a resource to match outfitters and hunters together along with informative knowledge, hunting news, resources and great articles and pictures. Elk, Deer, Turkey, Bear, Antelope, Bison, Buffalo, Moose, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Hogs, fishing, Hunting and all kinds of fun stuff.

I told you there was big and exciting news afoot! Yes, in an announcement that I’m sure is a surprise to most of you, I have put in my notice at Restaurant Vero and am moving on to a new job at Rustico Restaurant and Bar in Alexandria. I actually told Joy I was leaving a few days before my trip to Turkey, but I figured there was no sense in telling you all news this big right before I went on vacation and made unable to answer any questions. So, much like when I told you all I was leaving Cafe Tirolo, I will try to explain this situation in a question-and-answer format. The pull of promise, the need for me to pioneer my own path. I guess I played too much Oregon Trail as a kid… Why are you leaving Vero? There are essentially two reasons to leave a job. One is where the job is so bad; it pushes you out the door. The other is that another opportunity opens up that is so attractive, it pulls you towards it. This is a case of the latter. This move has nothing to do

This time next week the movers will have taken over my humble 1000 square foot house, and my life will officially be in "transit." I'm in the ambiguous place where it's too early to start packing, but too late to make many other arrangements. I've not sold my house yet, and my faith is really being tested in this process. How I'll make a mortgage payment in Dallas, and apartment rent in Lubbock is beyond me at this point.Last night was my last Wednesday Night service at the church here in Dallas, and my last Sunday is fast approaching. I've had such nice things said to me by parents and others here in Dallas. It's kind of sad that it's taken me leaving to hear about my impact in the lives of some of these families. I've been trying to cram in as many lunches and dinners as I can with friends before I leave Dallas, and my schedule is pretty tight at this point. Tonight is a rescheduled soccer game for the 'Cool Cats', my next to last game to coach, Friday I have a HOT d

Hindi mapapanood sa darating na Sabado sa Startalk ang TV host-talent manager na si Lolit Solis. One week suspension ang ipinataw ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) kay Lolit dahil sinabi nito sa ere ang salitang "puwerta" nang magkomento siya tungkol sa nalalapit na pagsisilang ni Julia Clarete. Pinagsisihan ni Lolit ang kanyang kasalanan at paulit-ulit siyang humingi ng paumanhin kay MTRCB Chairman Consoliza Laguardia. Maluwag na tinanggap ni Lolit ang parusa na ipinataw sa kanya ng MTRCB at inamin niya ang kanyang pagkakamali. Para sa mga pro-Laguardia, ang one-week suspension ni Lolit ay pruweba na walang pinapaboran si Chairman Laguardia at hindi uso sa kanya ang palakasan. Pinapaalala nila na noong nakaraang taon, si Joey de Leon ang pinatawan nito ng parusang suspension dahil sa naughty remarks ng TV host sa Eat Bulaga!. Incidentally, si Lolit pa ang tumawag sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) para ibalita ang kanyang suspension at mahi

Wacky day on the weather front. Woke up to fog and mist, then it was cold and gloomy, it eventually brightened up, now we have glorious sun. Just waiting for the snow! Mrs Crewe blog gave me a shopping list today, so her three kids headed into town early doors. It wasn't long before the monsters spotted the bouncy castle (you could hardly miss it, could you?) and yours truly was fleeced of £4 (£2 each for 7 minutes, I ask you). Amazingly, as we wandered home, the sun decided to make an appearance. A quick spot of lunch and it was on to the basketball court off Moss Lane where there was an extra session of Street Sports, as provided by the parish and ward councillors. How those coaches and instructors put up with hundreds of kids each day baffles me. With no school to keep them occupied, it was obvious that many of them had energy to burn - and they did!

Last week, I was so worried about the number of referrals in my agloco network. It was just 128 referrals in my network a week ago. I had set up a goal of getting the figure 200 in my agloco network before April. I was so worried and get serious headache thinking about my slow progressing network. Am I going to reach my goal? This is what I was thinking about the whole week.Here is the figure last week. 24/3/071000+ Sign Ups in One Week?But surprisingly, I get more than 1k sign ups in just one week. I swear to god, I do not expect to get over 1000 referrals so soon. It is just unbelievable! No matter who is the person that get me so many referrals back for me, I would like to give him a big hug and thank him a million times! I do not know how this happen, but you have to believe it. It just happen in front of my eyes. I took the print screen of my current referral network in case you do not believe it. Yes, it is 1000++ sign ups in less than one week. I am way too excited right now. I

Well, I woke up on my birthday (5 days ago) and found an article about me in the newspaper! Not a bad way to start out the day. Here is the full story, about our 20th anniversary and our big move to First Street in the Kane County Chronicle....Here's another article about us (though we aren't actually mentioned) on the FRONT PAGE of today's paper. What a great picture of our little house biting the dust! We missed it by about half an hour or so. It went down very quickly--by the time we got there it was a pile of blue rubble. Check out the full story at the Kane County Chronicle website.

I've been using Spotplex for just over a week now and, as promised, wanted to share some of my experiences so far.  Let me start by saying that right out of the gate I was exctied about Spotplex.  The service, which promises to rate blogs based on visits rather than votes, kind of turns the digg model on its ear. Rather than relying on a mob of voters (who can obviously be used to game the system) Spotplex promises reliance on page views and impressions.  In the long run this seems like a pretty solid idea - it's the basis for some of our older methods of page ranking afterall.  Don't mistake the fact that I like the idea with the current state of the service. Right out of the gate you can probably be sure that sites like TechCrunch will dominate the serive.  An hour of TechCrunch pageviews easily dwarf some sites entire week.  Of course Spotplex has promised to tweak their algorithm to handle this sort of thing but there's still plenty of room for problem.  Even if blogs ar

It took exactly one week for me to get back to real life and realize how it sucks. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I arrived in São Paulo, where I lived the perfect life for almost 4 days. Well maybe the word perfect is too strong here. Let's say I lived a dream life for 4 days, I guess it's better this way. To make things worse my birthday is arriving. God, I hate my birthday! What are all those forced phone calls from false people we recieve on birthdays? I wish I could skip this day, you know? Or at least be unreachable from tomorrow till the 9th or 10th, this way I would also avoid some late calls. You can add this to all that feeling of wasted time. What have I done in the last 28 years? Pretty much nothing. And the sensation of already being old enough for not trying certain new things? Even worse... The Rio Film Festival started 2 weeks ago and I haven't watched as many films as I wanted. In fact I only watched 2, which is very few if you compare to previous years. Thi

As far as i'm concerned today marks 7 whole days since I started, and that is for me a milestone to be proud of.I'd like to thank all three of my regular readers for your continued support - and invite anyone who has enjoyed this weeks posts to comment in the designated area. I wish you all a pleasant weekend and I'll see you all again bright and early Monday morning.

Since this is a Learning Blog, I am going to reveal some mistakes and problems I have encountered, just to give you an idea of how it’s been going for me…I am hoping it will be helpful for those of you who are THINKING of starting a blog, but feel intimidated by the whole process, just as I did before I started.  The mistakes I have made, mostly pertain to the posts, so you all got to see them!

Filed under: Cellphones We know it's been a whirlwind week of either: a) patiently sitting outside your local Apple store, b) losing touch with family, friends, and significant others while buried knee-deep in your new phone / firmware, or c) desperately trying to ignore the iPhone.
