Application junkie – that’s me – well that’s one word that can be used to describe me (others are gadget-geek and internet-junkie, but that’s a whole other story for another day). If it’s new and/or cool or “perfect”, I have to try it out. I’ve tried out tons of apps …

Getting a “real job” vs writing my heart out
I keep thinking I should go get a “real job”. The extra money would be awesome right now – I could pre-order the next generation nook! But I have to ask myself whether that is what I REALLY want to do.

My blogging has changed quite a few times in the last year or so. I haven’t really looked over my posts and analyzed when, how and why. I just know it.

researching blog posts
I wrote my first “Research post” on fyrfli.org this morning. Of course, I think my research was heavily gimped because of memory loss. I was trying to remember what the name of the high school girl who was raped and murdered one December morning back in the early 80s; that incident helped move the decision to stop daylight saving time in Jamaica forward. I couldn’t remember her name, I couldn’t remember the name of her alleged attacker, and I couldn’t ..read more
