Anyone here a blogger? I'm following four KFers blogs right now (waywardcats, jan, sherri, and christopher,) and I love reading what folks here are up to. If you have a blog, post it here, or if you're a bit shy, send me a pm instead! My lifestream (a relatively new 'net term to me) is always updated on my own personal site so if I post to Twitter or listen to an iTunes song or post to my blog or add a movie to my Netflix queue or upload a movie to YouTube or change my LinkedIn profile or upload a photo to my Flickr account, it all automatically tracks back and is posted to my home page which is pretty nifty. I use FriendFeed.com's web site widget to accomplish this little technical feat.

Anyway, with so few loans, I've been catching up on my friends' blogs and online activities, hence the thought.

Scott - I am truly honoured that you know about my blog...

I am the most sporadic blogger these days. I started in 2006 as a way to keep my mother-in-law up to date with the family photos and lately has become a way to share stuff I pick up elsewhere - such as that cool video I just borrowed from the KF - Music We Love posting.

There are so many, many places to go on the internet and so little time. One of the wonderful aspects of KF is the sharing of links. I hope all my friends check my blog - I know some of them have told me that I have gone Kiva Krazy

but some of them are Kiva lenders now

Anyone else is welcome to check in to http://beatonho.blogspot.com/ if you have spare minutes in your day

Thanks for the mention Scott. Embarrassed

Although I guess technically I have a blog, I do not consider myself a blogger. I have a LiveJournal that is quite frankly very sparsely updated. I only created it to keep in touch with friends who have more of a presence there and to be more in touch with their lives. A lot of my posts there are limited to LiveJournal friends only because of their personal nature. So, if anyone else has a LiveJournal, please feel free to add me as a friend. Everyone else is of course free to drop by from time to time. But please don't expect great things from my "blog".

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009

I'll post my list later, but I have to tell you about a site I just discovered:

www.sporcle.com

It's got lots of trivia games to improve you mind and memory. My favorites are the interactive geography and map quizzes. Just since last night I learned all the state capitals, the countries in north and south america, the countries in Europe, and I'm working on Africa! Oh, and I also learned all the Presidents! And it's even more fun than it sounds!
