Newegg.com





Newegg.com is a valuable site if you need to order computer parts.
This site is available to American customers.
Although it is an online website, in order to use it you need to be the owner of a valid credit card issued by a trusted American bank. The credit card issue could become troublesome, as I experienced myself when I tried to validate my American bank account while at work in the USA. That was in 2005, I was working at ATT Business, San Diego (CA).
Ok. Let's talk a little bit about my Californian experience.
San Diego is so nice, but let's talk about another cool place in California: San Francisco.
On an April week-end visit I went across the Golden Gate Bridge.
There is a kind of village (after the bridge coming from SF) called Sausalito which is so cute and reminds me of the French Riviera.
The nightlife is also nice in downtown San Francisco.
There are plenty of gay clubs and other lounges with nice music to listen to.
You blog readers are so lucky because I'm gonna give you help to manage your nightlife in SF.
Enjoy this link!

I hope you forgive me for my messiness. I am an unstructured person. That seems weird as I'm an accountant analyst. I differentiate my time at work and off work. In fact I'm a swimmer too, I like to swim and sail. I'm from New Zealand aren't I ?
I also want to tell you that I'm a citizen of the world. I like to cross borders although I know this feature is not available to every earthling. Sometimes to cross borders you need paperwork, passports and all that stuff. That sucks: we should all be able to cross borders freely. Some people may say rich people like us don't want poor and starving third world people to come and beg in our streets, but that's unfair. I truly don't agree with that! We should not think of people like that. That's not good. I disapprove of that behavior completely. I'm not kidding!

Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a useful website.
You can find information on any topic you could ever think of.
It is an online encyclopedia you can reach from any computer connected to the internet via a browser.
Each topic,
for example "Pope John Paul the 2nd", is available in different languages.
Some topics are not available like "snoopyDoopdooGa's life" because they are so obscure no one ever thought about them.
Anyone can post information to the site to enhance the content.
http://wikipedia.org/
There have been some bad features going on when some US congressmen put disputed articles about rival party members on Wikipedia. (That happened at a date I can't recall.)
Anyway there are not only bad tricks going on over Wikipedia. You can find a lot of accurate information in the science fields, like the distance between the earth and the moon. Maybe because they are more undisputed and don't provoke as much emotion as other topics dealt with by human beings.
Rational and scientific stuff on Wikipedia can be trusted in my opinion.
I know that some teachers (at the University level) in the United States refer articles to their students that come from Wikipedia.
Wikipedia can be trusted to an extent, but of course anyone doubts topics like the description of a sect could stay undisputed, that's why in my opinion we can't trust those type of topics.
Members from the sect are likely to say that everything is wonderful in the religious organisation while victims who escaped from it are more likely to denounce mental manipulation from the guru, and so on...
It is also useful to get English words translated or explained! This is useful to foreigners or non native English speakers!

Hey people! I'm new to blogging!
Enjoy my posts here!
Have fun and enjoy your life!
But as a start, I think I should introduce myself!
I'm an accounting analyst operating in Afghanistan.
I'm from New Zealand and I enjoy travelling all over the world.
I think I will leave the country in two or three years.
I 'm gonna post about computing sites I like.
I am sure you will like it, although I acknowledge the fact that I'm not as clever and up to date as the major bloggers in that field.
I hope you will find the links useful anyway!
I have a wife, her name is Corina, she's from Spain.
I met her in a Barcelona nightclub while I was globetrotting during summer 1990 as a 25 year old graduate student.
Corina was so sweet. I just ran into her and we had so much fun. The booze was so cheap and a lot of drugs were floating in our heads. That was a precious moment and a nice way to know each other better. After that we moved to Hong Kong where I worked on my first job as an accountant analyst for BelloSoft (back in 1990).
