There are days when I find the internet boring. This is one of those days. Part dictionary, part soapbox, part best-way-to-not-get-work-done, part adress book, I’m simply not finding it inspiring right now.

This is where my… Continue reading The importance of working under pressure.

Apologetic press release
Ben often says I speak “europanto”, that has its disadvantages too. Got a lovely email from Barbara at Vonen highlighting the fact that I often make spelling mistakes in this blog (“its/it’s” in a sentence, etc.) I’d like to apologize to my readers for that.
