2008: Welcome Me!

Blogged on January 8, 2008 at 19:35

So 2008 is here and I haven’t even posted! Oh boy…

Since I last posted, I have been aggregated to my favorite blog aggregator: Prt.Sc (Print Screen). I’ve been following this aggregator’s feed for a while now, and have made some friends through it! I’ve asked to join quite a bit ago but just now got aggregated (understandable!). Among other things, this will allow me to have a wider target audience. I hope that motivates me to post a bit more often! ;)

I spent the end of 2007 and first days of 2008 with friends in a (actually 2) ski resort. I skiied for the first time in my life and something horrible took place: I now absolutely love it! Why is it horrible, you might ask… Well, lets be honest folks: it’s not an affordable activity! :p I got the clothing. I don’t even know the prices back home at Serra da Estrela or the ones in Spain/Andorra, but I doubt they’ll be any cheaper. I had a great time with some great friends, and met some new ones!

As to this blog, I’ve designed the new look & feel for it! It’s verrryyyy different from this one and I might even build a customized CMS for it, to make it the way I want it! ;) I’ll, of course use snippets of code that are already available but I’ll customize them to meet my objectives. Oh, I can tell you already one thing about the new design: it’s… “Very niiceeee”! (and I don’t want to spoil the surprise because I don’t know yet when I’ll be able to finish it!) ;)

All in all, I feel 2008 to be a very promising year. It’s going to be the first year I spend in its entirety living in the US. I’ll be home (Portugal) for just a few weeks in the summer, for vacation and my best friend’s wedding. I’ve been enjoying my time here so far. Of course I miss some things (that sounds sooo materialistic! lol) from Portugal, but overall I feel completely integrated with the lifestyle and life flow here in Iowa.

I’ll post again soon. I have some ideas about how I’ve been feeling about the current state of the interwebs and information media world.

To everyone, a great 2008! May it be full of of accomplishments and life achievements! :)

I’ve never been skiing. I fear I would break my neck. XD But I love ice-skating.. also not a very affordable activity and rather difficult to do while living in the desert. :P Anyway, just wandering through and wishing you a happy new year. I look forward to reading you again.
Take care!

Skiing is very cool! I loved it! I’ve been ice skating once and liked it too… But not as much ;) It’s not hard finding snow/ice here in Iowa, that’s for sure! :p (especially the latter)

Thanks for stopping by and for the wishes! Wish you a great 2008 as well!
