I am a communicator, which is why I like echonets. I wrote songs for a
while, but now I write on the blog. Since I started recording it as
a podcast, though, it takes a big longer to produce, so instead of

Well I've succeeded! I've managed to repurpose SEVERAL things that
before would have been tossed to e-cycling. I've even started setting
up some Linux machines.
