I think that from now on I’ll need to avoid drinking tea or coffee when I check the news or my blog in the morning.
Yesterday it was the news about the “fishy”? research (see post: Being bilingual makes you faster and younger!), that almost made me choke …and today I discovered I have been listed on Technorati!?
Don’t laugh ( or go ahead, laugh if you wish)- and pardon my – inexcusable? – ignorance, but I had no idea what Technorati was, what did it do and for what purpose. Now – an hour or so later – I know a little bit – not much yet, but a little
Yippi, if this pace of my blogging education continues, in a few weeks I might be able to upload photos, which neither take either a lot more space that a screen allows or show as a thumbnails (? is that the term)… and – dreaming big, aren’t you, Minerva? - I then might even be able to learn how to create links… to posts in blogs I find important and try to comment seriously – and hopefully knowlegeably, like Jamie’s and Maciej’s separate discussions on being Polish - and foreigner’s view’s on how Poles view themselves – in blogroll see respectively An Englishman in Krakow and A Pole in Ireland) even something with a mysterious and exciting name of a permalink. Aah, possibilities!

Reading news or blog stats without tea? are you insane? That kind of behaviour (ok, ‘behavior’ bloody US English spell checker) can only lead to madness.
Technorati is a multi-headed hydra beast with an insatiable appetite for the new. I’m ranked somewhere in the low 2.6 millions
Hey, that’s not bad for a planet with 6 billion people (or is it 7 billion now?).
Do learn how to post pics and make links (I’m sure you will), and thanks for the blogroll inclusion – it’s an honour. (damn it – ‘honor’)

Hmm, a dilemma: madness or choking… ok, ok, I’ll close my eyes when swallowing so I’ll hopefully be spared both.
6 billion??? I wish.
You are welcome!
