Some Favorite Blogs

Category: Uncategorizedpodrey @ 11:19 am

I’ve been incredibly busy at work, so when at home, the last thing i want to do is get on the computer and blog.  But, if anyone is *looking* for more stuff to read, here are some of my favorite blogs:

Brazen Careerist – Penelope Trunk has her finger on the pulse of the job market and the attitudes of Gen X and Gen Y.  She also has good advice for just about any job culture you find yourself in.

Friendly Atheist – Very frequent posts, and most of the content is interesting.  Focus is on atheism in our culture and how it is perceived.  Secondarily pokes fun at the some of the ridiculousness in various religions.

Doodaddy – a stay-at-home dad talks about his adventures with his daughter.  He is kind of a goofball, and has an interesting perspective as a dad in a typically female role.

Website Launched

Welcome!

If you’re here, you probably saw the link on my Myspace blog. I probably won’t be using Myspace much anymore. I never use it much anyway – i only remember to check it whenever i have a blog i wanted to post.

Anyway, this site is much prettier, and will give me some more leeway to do other types of things besides the blog:

Recipes – My recipes section is mostly complete at this point. I took all the good recipes i have and put them out here. I believe i’ve tried all of these recipes, and all are good. I’ve always wanted an electronic location like this for my recipes. Now i can take a peek from work to see what ingredients i need to get from the store on the way home.

Bridge – This section is in development. There will be a section for bridge articles – they don’t belong in the normal blog. I will try to write more of these types of articles now i have a place to put them. I’ve always enjoyed reading bridge columns and bridge books. This will be my way to contribute in an amateur fashion. And who knows, maybe eventually i’ll make it into the Bridge Bulletin.

Photos – This section is also in development. It should be a smattering of select photos from various events. It will be the next section of the site that gets released, if i can ever find software that does what i want and integrates well with wordpress. Frankly i’m not having a lot of luck so far.

Who knows what else may eventually reside here? Right now I’m just having lots of fun learning about how to do all this stuff.

There have been a few posts in the past week that i didn’t put on Myspace. Check them out, and let me know what you think. :)

Wasting time on FaceBook

Category: Uncategorizedpodrey @ 4:44 pm

Well, i resisted even trying facebook for a long time. I figured it was about the same as myspace. But, i learned it’s a ton more interactive. I have wasted SO much time over there trying to find friends (much easier than on myspace), and playing with the applications. It’s fun, but extremely time-consuming.

A funny thing happened – i was browsing the page of a friend from high school to see if i knew anyone. And i found MY BROTHERS. Ha! I hadn’t even thought to look for them. So, thanks Cammie for hooking me up with them electronically.

I’ll probably keep blogging over here, when i remember to blog, but i don’t know if i can really keep up with TWO social networking sites. One might be more than i can handle.
