Pavlina: Life is Not For the Living

On the right hand side of the page, I have my “blogroll”. Not really a blog roll, I really trimmed it down. I rarely actually visit web sites, I have everything loaded into my feed but now and then I do pick up an interesting site from twitter. Oh, before I forget, you all know where to find me, right? I try to be Pavlina20 pretty much everywhere, so on twitter I am pavlina20. I used to have that widget (also on the right) but I didn’t like the way it looked on the new site and I haven’t found a new one yet. On Google I am also pavlina20 and if you have a Google account, you can friend me there and you can see all my feeds! If you are a regular reader of the site (thanks) I track you and find your site and add it to my feed. Most of my readers find enough in common with me that I also like their blog (hey, it’s nice!). A couple of the blogs on the right have no earthly idea of who I am, but I am impressed enough with their blog that I added it (waves to Pioneer Woman, but she doesn’t see me).

I also have my Delicious site there, and you can really get lost there. That is where my true “weblog” is located, and if I do come across a very interesting site I’ll add it to my tags. It has really grown over the years and there is a lot of interesting stuff there. I don’t spend enough time there, which can only be a good thing. I have my flickr feed also on the right, and I have noticed a bit of traffic going there so feel free to look at all my amateur snapshots. I have the site of Vladimir Prelovac there because without him, this site would never have looked this great. I am always tweaking this site, and it all comes from his site. He has great tips for non-css and sql people like myself. He is awesome.

Right, that was quite the tangent. So, looking at the right hand side you will also see what I am listening to, what I am reading, and I am thinking of adding a “what I am obsessing over at the moment”. The listening can be music, but it is usually a podcast. Do you know what a podcast is? If not, go here, I defer to the Great Wikipedia. Most of these are Podiobooks, in which case I defer you here, I have been with Podiobooks since they had like three or four books only. Now I go there and there are hundreds of books, and they are ALL FREE. I listen to way more podcasts than I am going to list in my sidebar, but what I list under “Currently listening to”, I would recommend you follow the link. These are my highest ranked titles and they are usually very good. I have been an avid reader since I learned how to read, and I have a passion for books that is unbelievable.

My “currently reading” is usually much smaller, unfortunately. I still think of summer as prime reading season, though winter is usually the best for me. I have too much going on in summer to read! (all that weeding)

So I do recommend that you at least check out the sites to the right. They are only a few there, and I do highly recommend them.

That’s all for now.
