I get the most referrals to my blog from Brett Nordquist’s blog.

If you read my blog, and haven’t yet clicked on the link on my sidebar to his, please do.

It’s worth the click.

Especially if you read THIS post.

“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.” –Albert Einstein

Sometimes I feel like this quote applies to my place of work. If we don’t change the way we think, we are headed for a major earth-shattering disaster…

I want to be someone who is willing to change my way of thinking.

Last year, because of my MA studies, I was a social networking queen. Every semi-popular social networking website I signed up for and monitored. After I “finished” school, I kinda have gotten sick of most of the social networking stuff, except for Twitter and Flickr.

Yesterday, I learned about FriendFeed. This is basically an RSS feed of all your friends’ various social networking/Web 2.0 activities. Brilliant. It’s a one stop shopping for Web 2.0. No longer do you have to log in to multiple sites to see what your friends are up to. I especially like how you can have your netflix queue and your amazon wishlist in your personal RSS friendfeed. You can keep your voyeurism limited to one webpage. I defintately think that this is where the net is headed… especially if apps for this are written for mobile devices.

I just want to know now what my friends are listening to on their iPods and watching on their TVs and buying on ebay at any given moment in time.

My FriendFeed is: http://friendfeed.com/joonitree

Yes, I had 8 inches of snow at my house April 19th, 2008.

I live in the Seattle area.

Yes, not normal.

Today, I decided to finally figure out the relationship between my ftp, my web hosting service, my wordpress and my domain in order to do a little blog updating. I am still relying on someone elses theme, but it’s closer to what I would actually do if I knew how to make my own CSS style sheet. I still havent found the best way to show off my photography, but that will come soon enough.

When I left for work this morning, there was snow on the ground, it was cold and the buds on my trees were still locked up tight.

Tonight when I got home around dusk, the snow was long gone and the buds opened on my asian pear tree and one of my rhodedendrons.

Ladies and Gentlemen… Spring has arrived.

at least in Seattle, that is.
