In the big scheme of things 10,000 blog views isn’t that much. But it is still a milestone I am happy to achieve nonetheless, since starting my blog 18 month ago. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a snapshot of how this social networking initiative is going. Thanks for reading my blog. It’s my creative outlet, digital resume, and portfolio – all wrapped in one. So here are some screen captures of my various social networking dashboards. Enjoy!
Since cutting-the-cord over three years ago, I’ve been a huge fan of Geekbeat.tv. Cali Lewis and John Pozadzides definitely have their finger on the pulse of the geek community. So I was honored to recently sponsor their new house. Here is the link to the video where Cali acknowledges my contribution to the Wall of Fame Geeks! It’s my 6 seconds of fame… another 9 to go!

Extract from the Academy’s web site: “The “sales school system” was established in order to enable access to a high-quality specialized education for our students without having to pay the school fees during their studies. The whole concept is primarily aimed at the inhabitants of poorer regions of our country. This way the system allows us to choose the quality students who are motivated in the area of personal development and they are also keen to study… …Another important target is the English language education. Learning of English language is divided into two parts – the first, more intensive one, is comprised of the standard classes and the second one is realized during the weekends’ activities… …The students have a unique opportunity to practice English language in various everyday situations which they solve outside the classrooms.”
