photo by fiddle oak. In the past year or so I’ve read a lot about how different people get their stuff done, specially when referring to writing.

Inspiration is a tricky thing, but no one can’t deny that when it comes, it certainly feels good. In the words of Cristian Mihai ...
photo by JackVersloot. I recently finished reading “The Clan of the Cave Bear” by Jean M. Auel. It is a beautiful story of the human struggle for survival.

The “Links of Interest” is a type of post I’ll start to do on a regular basis here. Every now and then I come across something interesting in the web that I’d like to share with my readers, but that doesn’t necessarily merit a blog post or I really don’t have the time to write one. This type of blog post is inspired by [Brett Terpstra’s “Web Excursions”][1] system. As he explains, he prefers a single post with multiple links rather than a ton of individual “link list” posts. I do too. ...
