More is coming

I sincerely apologize for the lack of Office 2010 posts, which started with Part 1 and Part 2.

I’ve gotten to use it a lot more in the course of daily business, which has opened my eyes to some astounding features.

In any case, I’ve been very busy and will continue to be busy ~~until next week, which is when I plan on publishing Part 3~~.

Things for which I am grateful

Frederick — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:06:42 +0000

M.W. recently suggested to me that writing down the things for which I am grateful will lead to some sense of happiness. I’m willing to try this out, because there is a sound psychological basis for doing so; this activity forces a person to realize all of the positive things that exist in the world around them.

I also realize that, perhaps you aren’t particularly interested in my personal life (although I’d point out that that is what many blogs focus on). I will return to posting other interesting things since I have nearly exhausted this topic.

It wouldn’t be too convenient to make a new blog post every day or even every week for this topic, so I’m going to place some of them on Twitter. Follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/frederickding) or check this blog (since my Twitter updates are automatically re-posted here daily).

My three-item list for today (November 14, 2008):

a warm, safe, and hospitable home
an intelligent and thoughtful mind
friends who care

I really wouldn’t mind if you decided to share a few of the things for which you are grateful, either by commenting here or by signing up for Twitter and letting me know about you.

ADDENDUM: of course some things will need to be kept private. But even the private things will be posted, except under lock and key.

ADDENDUM 2: here are my lists for November 15 and 16:

life
liberty
health

friends who are smart
a Macbook Pro
friends who care too much

Follow me on Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter for about a month now, and the characteristic signs of Twitter addiction are beginning to show. That’s why I’d like for you to follow me on Twitter.

All you have to do is create a Twitter account and click the follow button under my name. You’ll be alerted of all of my future tweets (only about one message a day or less) and you can post your own 140-character messages as well.

Go on, see what I’ve been posting on Twitter.

Missing in action

Frederick — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:46:24 +0000

I will be gone (as in “out of the country”) for the next week or so, so there will be no blog posts or Frederick Time episodes until at least Monday. Don’t ask me where I’m going. (Suffice it to say that I will be out of reach and “offline”.)

However, if you’d like to keep track of me in a stalker-ish way, follow me on Twitter (it’s even better if you have an account and you click “Follow”). I will use my cell phone to send text messages that will hopefully keep you appeased of what I’m doing and where I am (in a non-specific way).

At the same time, let’s welcome Brandon who is in Canada as part of an exchange program.

If you’re looking for something to read in the meantime, see “Why Kosovo Was And Always Will Be Serbian” or “Georgia-Russia Conflict” from two friends who are ethnically linked to the issues at hand, and who offer insightful perspectives.

Finally, I’d like to apologize for being part of “Western media” when it comes to my podcast’s coverage of the Georgia-Russia conflict. I did try to present both sides or multiple points of view, but I really didn’t know what to believe… thanks to the terribly influential and often deceptive Western media.
