New Theme and Update
First, I’m sorry I haven’t posted since early January. I even had some posts planned, but they just didn’t get written. I got busy at work and then studying for my EXW and then I got sick–for three weeks. I call it the Bahraini Crud because that virus has swept through the island and everyone [...]

I’m the Awesomest Computer Person in the World!
Hey, I just added a “widget” to my sidebar! That was some way awesome computer skills in action, folks! I stole the idea from this blog: 4tunate. It’s a world map that tracks visitors to your blog. I saw it and thought, “How can I get me one of those things?” So I clicked on [...]
