Well, I thought I’d post something on this beautiful Sunday evening. Luckily I spent a few hours outside today already walking around the neighborhood, up to the zoo, and enjoying the sun that’s been so rare in the Washington DC Area for the past few months!
First of all, I’ve been adding a few links of interest on the right hand side of the page. I could post a bazillion more, I suppose, but I thought I’d build it up gradually and eventually start categorizing things a bit more. For now, since the list is small I thought I’d actually mention the stuff on it:
- Gizmodo - This is a great blog for anyone interested in gadgetry and consumer electronics. It has the latest news about anything related to this field. A lot of the stuff I post here I get from Gizmodo.
- Marie’s World Tour - this woman got to travel around the whole world without flying. Quite an adventure which in theory I’d love to do myself, but I think I would probably start going nuts after a couple of months - it took her I think about a year! I’ve only read some of her entries - there’s probably enough to fill a book!
- Off Wing Opinion - This is the blog of Eric Mcerlain, a friend of mine, who introduced me to blogging. His blog is primarily about sports and in particular hockey.
- Photographyblog - a blog all about photography
- The Black Monk - a link to the electronic text version of one of my favorite short stories. It was penned by the Russian master of short prose, Anton Chekhov, and is about a scholar who deprives himself of sleep to the point where he starts hallucinating. Quite entertaining.
- Email me - just a quick link to send me mail
- AIM: DVDmon - a link to send me an instant message through AOL Instant Messenger. I can sometimes also be contacted via MSN (leviwallach@hotmail.com), yahoo (lwallach), and ICQ (116719291).
- About - a little bio on myself.
- DC Metro Blog Map. This is another site that spurred me on a bit to start my own blog. I thought it was really cool the way they created a clickable DC Metro Map where clicking on different stops on the metro yielded lists of people close to those stops who have blogs. I’m on the Dupont Circle metro stop, which is the closest to my neighborhood of Adams Morgan.
I will be adding more as time goes on. Right now I am trying to figure out a way within Blog City (my weblog host) to create a separate stream of blog entries about what I’m reading or watching on DVD. Hopefully I will get that up shortly as well.
One more quick item. My brother in law sent me a link to this article in the New York Times about how this guy is able to give you enhanced cognitive abilities via electrodes. Quite amazing! Unfortunately the times archives their stuff after 7 or 10 days, after which you’ll have to pay for it. In case you read this after June 29, the article is called “Savant for a Day” and is dated June 22.
