*Update to My Personal Technology Update

31-Mar-05

Mike W., ever vigilent, points out that I should have mentioned, below, that I’ve changed my email. It’s now newley@gmail.com. That’s Google’s Web-based email service, which is truly fantastic. (I have many invitations to give away, so if you want an account, just lemme know.)

Celebrity (Sister) Gossip from Taiwan

01-Mar-05

I live in the same apartment complex as Nelly “I’m Like a Bird” Furtado’s sister. (Or should I say Nelly’s sister lives in the same complex as I do?)
I have confirmed this fact with several reliable sources. Apparently the sister of the British Columbia-born pop star teaches English here, and is quite friendly […]
