I am a bit of an internet addict. (There, I’ve admitted it.) Sometimes I do get the impression that my laptop is my window to the world.
Spend way too much time on websites like Steve Pavlina, TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog),, Lifehacker, and of course MySpace.
Believe it or not, I still have enough time to play and listen to music (1), read books (2), check out podcasts (3), and tons of other stuff (4).
Been planning to dedicate a blog to every single one of my interests, since I sometimes am big-headed enough to believe that I do have ideas/thoughts/knowledge that are/is worth sharing with the world. Decided to put it all onto one blog for the time being, and see where it’ll go.
1) “Music was my first love, and it will be my last”, as one famous song goes.
2) A life without books? No way. A couple of years ago, on a journey by train, I noticed that all the people reading the newspaper had a serious, unhappy-ish look on their faces, while those reading books often smiled or even laughed out loud. Kind of speaks for itself. (I pretty much gave up reading newspapers - it is all useless propaganda.)
3) There are some great podcasts out there: Swiss Radio DRS1 and DRS2 have some interesting interview podcasts, albeit in German only. Even though the music he plays is not really my cup of tea, I enjoy Michael Butler’s The Rock’n'Roll GeekShow - also a podcast.
4) Food, women, Hello Kitty, the moon, clouds, the beauty of nature, Arsenal FC, Apple computers, Macintosh OS X, etc. etc. etc.
