1. You design your blog?
Noooooo… There is an attribution link on the right sidebar. It says Whitespace theme by Brian Gardner. He’s the same [...]
A huge part of blogging is reading — not only mainstream media publications but blogs as well. With the blogging boom seen during the past few years, it is not always easy to decide which blogs to read and how often. And with so many people claiming to be an expert of sorts, whether the [...]
How much the look of my blog changes is proportionate to the stress I’m feeling. I’ve changed the entire layout of this blog and I still feel stressed. Time for additional amusement. I think the CEOs of Apple and Microsoft look good dancing the hula together.
