From group buys to switches, an overview for people new to the hobby. This is a dangerous path you're about to walk down. Is your wallet ready?

Here are some ideas for productive and enjoyable things you can do with your laptop while you are hanging out during the holidays.

add new material to or regularly update a blog: it's about a week since I last blogged. – New Oxford American Dictionary Seems straightforward in theory, but as clearly demonstrated by the very specimen you are currently reading, it is far from it.

Why do I blog? Because I like to write. That's my spontaneous answer. And it's true—but far from the whole truth. It became obvious when I chose to wri...

Hay gente que recurre a un psicólogo para superar una mala racha. Otros acuden a un coach que les ayude a descubrir sus fortalezas y debilidades. Yo sólo

Estoy un poco en la misma situación. Estoy enredando mucho con Hugo y dedicándole demasiado tiempo quizá a construir el sitio Web y menos a escribir como tal. Pero es que me está gustando programar y enredar con Hugo. ¿Por qué parar?

I launched a Cable Network. If you’re in the Ellijay Telephone Company coverage area, you can watch it on channel 176. If you’re not, you can watch it online or on roku (or even embedded on this post!) The whole thing is a Community Centered, local first production and broadcast, powered entirely by free software.

Terry Gene Bollea, better known as “Hulk” Hogan, was by all acounts a racist pig, a supporter of Fascism, and an all around asshole. He was also one of my childhood heroes, and I’m far from alone in that. He’s dead now, and I guess it is time to think about what it means to find out your heroes are monsters.

"I write knowing it may disappear. I highlight books knowing the highlights will fade. I trust that what matters will return, will find its way to the surface. I no longer worship the permanence of text."

Hace un tiempo escribí aquí sobre mi hiperfijación con los "Commonplace books". Estaba leyendo mucho sobre el tema y viendo muchos videos...

I shoot street photography almost every day here in Oslo. Sometimes I'm on holiday and a tourist. Still, I think like a street photographer. The result is that I often come home from holiday with pictures of strangers instead of pictures of old buildings or beautiful nature.

«La nostalgia y la utopía son, bien miradas, dos caras de la misma moneda». Lo dice Grafton Tanner en su ensayo Las horas han perdido su reloj. Aviso que no me ha gustado mucho el libro (mezcla demasiados temas alrededor de una definición vaga de nostalgia y no propone nada con consistencia), pero como punto…

Loneliness in blogging isn’t always what it seems. Even when we don’t hear the claps or see the likes, there may still be a quiet audience out there, listening.
