A chat with students from Venezuela
Today I had a YM chat with Diego, David, and Irving - 3 writingmatrix students from Venezuela. We talked a bit about weather, travelling and what we do. It's hot here these days, isn't it? So is there - about 39 degrees C and up. They have 2 seasons there - a dry and a rainy one. Needless to say, both hot.
Back from holidays
I spent a long time away from computer on two beautiful Croatian islands, Hvar and Pag. Hvar is covered in lush greenery while Pag is a stony desert.
It took me a while to get used to life without the Internet. I kept wondering about the online events I was missing, tons of email, things to do... But fooling around with my 3 boys time flew and I pretty much soon stopped thinking about anything; we were swimming, fishing, playing in the sand, watching beautiful sunsets and starry nights, and eating and sleeping a lot. It's been some time since I was last disconnected for such a long time and although it seemed challenging to endure at first, proved a very relaxing experience. Now that I'm back home, I have problems turning off my vacation mode :-).
This was our beach on Hvar.
I hope you are all fully enjoying these summer days. What are your holidays like? Post some pics, tell us where you have been or where you plan to go.

Global warming
It's getting hot, isn't it? Air conditioners hum all around and we linger by our firmly shut windows observing the world outside like tropical fish from a fish tank. Progress, huh?
Taiwanese students created very interesting propaganda materials to promote fight against global warming . Check it out at http://multienglishes.blogspot.com/ .

How to follow writingmatrix posts even more easily
We've mostly been using Bloglines now, right? We've subscribed to individual blogs of interest, explored various widgets, played around with templates and page elements, etc.
To pull all the writingmatrix posts together, we had a look at Technorati awhile ago (if we enter 'writingmatrix' in the search box, Technorati generates a page with a chronological list of blog posts tagged writingmatrix ).
Vance discovered it is also possible to subscribe to the RSS feed of this Technorati page. Following writingmatrix posts 'globally' is much simpler and more effective this way because everything tagged 'writingmatrix' is simply pooled to our Bloglines account and regularly updated.
How do we subscribe to the Technorati 'writingmatrix' page?
Go to Technorati homepage - enter 'writingmatrix' in the search box - click 'Search' - click 'View all' below the hit list - an orange RSS 'Subscribe' button should appear on top of the newly generated page - right-click the button - copy shortcut - and create a new Bloglines feed for the Technorati writingmatrix page.
I did it and now feel much more comfortable following what's going on in the writingmatrix world. Thank you Vance.
I decided to share the most recent writingmatrix posts from this feed in the side bar of our Roštilj. I did this in Blogger Dashboard - Manage Layout - Add a page element - Feed. I know many of you figured this out before I have - I'm catching up slowly and documenting my progress ;-).

Chinese Translation
I'm still humming this tune... I came across it in Garr Reynolds' Presentation Zen. The depth of this simple song by M. Ward is amazing.
A man sailed a wild, wild sea and climbed a tall, tall mountain and met an old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree. The old man said: "If you got some questions go and lay them at my feet but my time here is brief so you'll have to pick just 3."
The young man asked:“What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? How can a man like me remain in the light? If life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long?”
And then the sun went down and the old man sang this song: "See I once was a young fool like you afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do so I played an escapade just like you, I played an escapade just like you. I sailed a wild, wild sea, climbed up a tall, tall mountain, I met an old, old man, he sat beneath a sapling tree. He said now if you got some questions, go and lay them at my feet but my time here is brief so you’ll have to pick just three. And I said: What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? And how can a man like me remain in the light? And, if life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long? And then the sun went down and he played for me this song"
