I’ve been researching ways on pulling together my online presence into my WordPress site and I’ve found some interesting addons that may at least link up MySpace and Facebook (and other well-known networking sites).
Since I know Ynygma is into Facebooking, I thought the Facebook Dashboard Widget might be an interesting enhancement to the WordPress experience. If you’re interested in crossposting, then perhaps the Socialite addon is worth a look. ShareThis accomplishes this task with a larger list of networking/bookmarking sites to choose from. I’m still in search of an addon or widget that will pull MySpace info into WP but because it’s known to be the most proprietary of the networking sites out there, chances are slim that an addon will do what I want it to do. If anybody finds something with this kind of functionality, then please let me know!
World of Warcraft should be placed alongside Facebook and cigarette breaks as leading causes of declining productivity among today’s workers. The game is just so damn addictive.
Asian parents often have one of two mindsets. They are either motivated by the lack of opportunity provided in their own lives, and are determined to provide their children with the facilities and support to excel that they themselves, never had….The other mindset is one of pragmatism. The ever-worrying Asian parent, fearing mediocrity for their child, pushes the poor kid to their limit, all in view for their future.
The “critical language acquisition” stage ends when a child hits 7. Before that age, languages can be easily learned — one of the reasons why Europe and other Asian countries teach foreign languages before Middle School. Sometimes, it’s just ludicrous how the American education system works.
Asian chicks dig white guys. Somewhere in the midst of the pseudo-nationalistic indoctrination our well-meaning parents inflict upon us, we ladies stop paying attention and allow tall(er), skinny, white boy engineers to steal our hearts.
It seems my pups have a taste for dill. My poor dill plants have been nibbled and grazed on. Methinks I need new dill plants. Also, my lavender plants came in last week…I managed to get them onto the patio this weekend…before the pups did any more damage to them. But the photos demonstrate that the herb garden is thriving despite the attention of vegetarian pups.
Puppy (that’s what I call him) still has not found his owner. To recap his story: I found him on the greenbelt next to the pond at my apartments. He sat next to the rail by the creek and he would occasionally approach joggers and beg for some loving. He tried to approach me when I had my pups out for a walk, but Doogie and Dandy were immediately on the defensive and warned him off. I decided at that point to shorten my morning walk and put up the dogs. I went back with a leash and brought Puppy home with me. Gave him food and water then gated him in the kitchen with Doogie before going into work.
When I got home for dinner, Puppy and Doogie seemed to have gotten along. At least, Puppy was still intact. 😀 He followed reasonably well during our evening walk, even elicited some attention from passersby. He was definitely in a playful mood…running and jumping on everything
Needless to say Puppy still hasn’t found his humans and has been rather enjoying his stay in Casa D-Duo. The management staff at the apartments don’t recognize him and neither did the vet’s office up the road. No microchip…and no flyers advertising a lost pup. I’ve begun my search online to see if somebody might have posted about him. Interesting to see many sites for missing pets.
