The Soundtrack of 2010
I realize that my third annual music recap is later than previous years. Though last year I posted it in September, so that wasn’t exactly the end of the year. I cannot be held responsible for my inability to measure quantities; it’s a curse that I try to hide by dramatic exaggeration.

Websites of 2010
I’m an internet nerd, a computer junkie, and an all around tech addict. Though this certainly does not make me an expert, I do love to share what I dig or what’s fun or useful. Here are some of my favorite 2010 web site finds.

Putting meaning in my life.
Some days I hate life. In the past year and a half, those days have out numbered the really great days. It isn’t like one of my old “episodes” but it sometimes feels like a slow, painful torture. PhDs are not for the weak, hence I’m barely surviving.
