Linked in

by on Oct.27, 2007, under Business

It seems as if many professionals are using Linked In to connect with one another. So I have given in and created my profile. Their contact import feature for Hotmail and gmail is cool. I was able to find a lot of folks that I haven’t spoken with in awhile and connect with them. I was also surprised to learn how successful certain people are (or at least how important they make themselves sound in their profiles). hahaha :-P Check out my profile here.

Major site updates

by on Oct.27, 2007, under Site-announcements

The following items have been updated or added:

  • Imported all of my photos from my old web site. And some photos that were not previously shown!! Go see them here.
  • Imported a trip journal of an adventure in Boston from 2002. These journal entries haven’t appeared on the web for several years. Even I haven’t read them yet, but from what I did read while I was posting the pictures and formatting the text, I was pretty wordy! Check it out here.
