Well, I just signed up for USAY, yet another site on which to waste time and make sarcastic comments. We’ll see how that goes.
So far, Google+ just seems to be a leaner, lamer, and less colorful version of facebook. I check in daily and if more of my friends start going there, I’m ready, but so far I’m unimpressed. I had high hopes for Reddit but they started accusing me of being a spammer with my very 1st post. I’m still registered, but haven’t bothered with them for a while. I’m also still registered with LinkedIn and Quora, but I never visit either one.
Some day I’m going to start my own site, and allow only the coolest people to join, but I’d probably wind up having to kick myself off, so that would suck.
On a more immediately relevant topic, since we canceled our plans to go to New York in October, on account of not having anywhere near enough money, we are starting our summer vacation in Slovakia tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve lived in the Czech Republic 15 years now, but this will be my 1st time in Slovakia. (actually, 1st time for all of us)
I will still blog every day, of course (my wife hates that – she says the only thing I care about is my blog) but it will be more travel related, more like a diary than a running commentary on the news. Just as well, I’m sure. It is pretty safe to say that over the next couple of weeks, several Republicans will say really stupid things about guns, gays, and abortion, Obama will continue to betray the left, the fighting in Syria will continue, there will be erratic and extreme weather in many places around the world, and many animals, especially cats, will get their 15 minutes of internet fame.
I also imagine that some time in the next 2 weeks, Anthony Weiner will see the writing on the wall and will drop out of the New York mayoral race, but I only say that with about 60-70% certainty.
Meanwhile, we will be hiking, swimming, boating, visiting a spa and doing lots of cool stuff which I will tell you all about right here in this space. Stay tuned.
