Better, faster, stronger.

Will give attention to more focus and less ballast this year.

Opting out ?

Google's new privacy policy and Terms of service will come into effect on March 1, 2012.   All of  the Google services you use (including Search, Gmail, Picasa, YouTube and sixty other services they offer) will integrated  so Google can use the integrated data to learn more about you.   No chance of opting out. According to them, Google will be able to offer so much more to us.  

I wonder what the privacy advocates will have to say about that.

Commute

I've joined the commuter classes recently.  No more sitting in traffic but taking the train into work.  Yes, I do spend more time on the commute, but so far it's been bliss.  Everybody runs to get the fast train, while I've chosen to take the slower train, which leaves five minutes later, virtually empty.

This commute actually adds time to my day for reading, writing, photographing or just enjoying the silence and relax. Can't wait until the days get longer and I get to watch the scenery as well.

Driving Licence

In a month or so the boy turns 18. Ah, adulthood!  With this magic number comes the much wanted driving licence.  He even gets the theory  as part of the normal school curriculum.  As his mother it comes with dual feelings.

Yes, great to see the boy growing up, love the idea I won't be the sole driver of the household anymore but letting go is not always that easy!

2012

After years of creating this blog, I finally decided to do something with it.  It is a new year after all!  It's this time of year where the grayness gets to us, and I am not different.

Scanning my hard drives for colorful objects or colorful places, anything but the hundreds shades of gray we experience in these winter days.

Hope these cheer you up as well !
