Would you like to see your name written in beautiful Arabic letters? The author of My Name in Arabic is offering framed tags for free. I’ve reduced them 50% for display here, but I’ve got the originals for email signatures. PLEASE stop requesting me to do these for you! I don’t know Arabic – click on the above link for requests. Here is the simple image for “Heidi”: Heidi has no equivalent I know of in Arabic. However, it’s funny…
VirusHead has been featured at the Bloggapedia blog! A caveat – it’s on a short list of eight of the most opinionated bloggers, out of the some 6,300 listed in their directory. Hmm… Virushead: An academic, a mom, one opinionated lady. “Opinionated” has negative connotations to me (I’ll leave the “lady” part alone… for now. Tip: “woman” is usually better).

The rest of the site looks very interesting, too. Reading through it, I realize that my French has gotten pretty rusty. It’s…
I’ve set up an account at Associated Content (the People’s Media Company). I like the idea of grassroots content production (perhaps even with some payment!). There is already a well-established database of interesting and fresh information – I found the site by stumbling upon an interview with a JW. I think I’d probably write on religious topics, politics, academe, viruses, language – the usual. Perhaps it might improve my internal focus. I haven’t submitted any articles yet, but stay tuned…
