   I am a communicator, which is why I like echonets. I wrote songs for a    
   while, but now I write on the blog. Since I started recording it as   
   a podcast, though, it takes a big longer to produce, so instead of   
   several times a week, I publish once ever week or week and a half.

   Well I've succeeded! I've managed to repurpose SEVERAL things that    
   before would have been tossed to e-cycling. I've even started setting   
   up some Linux machines.
