Where you Live -- In the USofA, in beautiful mountains in a blue island in a red county of a red state. But I think the colors are misleading.

Family -- Single.

Career or School -- I work in new media. (That's fancy gobbledygook speech for web design and development.)

Hobbies -- I need to find some. I like movies and hiking and snowshoeing and cooking good food and reading science fiction (mostly just the better writers, though, the ones who'd be winning Booker prizes if they didn't happen to write in a genre that is not respected or understood by mainstream literary types).

Interests -- Politics, the changing face of business, sciences, the day-to-day lives of people in all walks of life, music....

Politics -- An extreme moderate conservative progressive feminist. In other words, I'm not a Democrat but end up voting Dem much more than Republican, because Republicans seem to have sold out to much scarier people, and I'm a counterculture opponent of the patriarchy who believes in liberty and free trade, without losing sight of the power of Keynesian economics and importance of compassion and maintaining the social safety net.

Add some pics of your surrounding -- I would, but I don't see a way to attach photos to a comment, and I don't have anything uploaded elsewhere at the moment. Trust me, it's beautiful.

And now for an impressive display of my skills in foreign languages:

Los tres osos.

"Ist die Post offen, Otto?"
"Nein, sie ist am Sontag geschlossen."

"Ist Jochen zu Hause?"
"Ich glaube er ist draussen mit Kurt. Ich rufe ihn."
"O das brauchen Sie nicht. Ich suche ihn selbst."
"Hoffentlich sind die beiden noch hier."
"Hallo Jochen, bist do im Garten?"
"Wir sind hier, in der Garage! Wir putzen das Auto!"
"Ihr seid fleissig. Ich bin sprachlos!"
"Du kannst helfen. Dort liegt ein Lappen!"

"Una mas cerveza porfavor."
"Skol!"
"Prost!"
"Lachiam!" (sp?)
"Nastrovia!" (sp?)
"Cheers!"
"Salud!"

"Voulez voux cuchet amec mois?" (sp!)
"Jaurais toujours faim de tois" (sp!)

And for those who believe that women's equality is about "special rights"....

"Leck mich am Arsch!"

I'm glad we won't have to translate all articles we find in the European media, just put them as raw story on the web. You will be the first to receive the breaking news, the Anglo-Saxons will follow when the translation is ready.

Kudos - I like your motivation in politics.

Welcome - I hope you enjoy your stay.

Welcome!!!! I read a diary you wrote which was posted on another site earlier this week, on Wednesday. It was one of the two best posts I read on that general subject during the entire week and was very succinct and to the point. I'm already looking forward to anything else you feel like sharing and I would encourage you to do so!

in your menu on the right, you should have a "your files" item. click there, and you'll see a menu - use the "Browse" button to select the file (picture) you want to post, select the upload mode ("to user section") and click on upload.

The file will then appear on your file list as an hyperlink.

you can then post it simply by using:

< img src=" (the url of the uploaded file - a boomantribune.com address) " > (witouh the spaces)

That's it. avoid files bigger than 20 kb, and add width="400" before closing the html tag if it's too wide for the site.

In the long term, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
