It’s always nice to feel Liebster-ed.


It wasn’t too long since I swiped a Liebster, but during the craziness of the A-Z challenge Micki actually bestowed one on me! She didn’t give me questions to answer or quote exact rules, but I’m going to go old-school based on the rest of the rules I got from Tammy back in January: share 11 new facts, pass it on to eleven bloggers with eleven questions to answer. (Maybe if I’m not answering questions, the people who I tag will answer the questions I ask: I remember back in January somebody answered the same questions I got. A little annoying, but oh well.)

My Nominees:

    I enjoyed this Chris; and I totally dig your questions to the recipients.

    Good luck on your trip; Spaghetti is one of my favorite foods too; did you get paid for the ap’s; sheesh, you’re so retro, do you own any 21st century computer systems (except the GPS and Xbox); YAY for STUFFIES 🙂

    Have a good week Chris.

    • Hehe. Most of my tech is ’21st century’ since that’s about the time I got a job and more money to spend on tech. But 12 years is a lot. My most recent computer system is actually a windows 7 refurb, and I like it, though finding 64 bit drivers has been a bit of an issue.

      And no, no pay for the apps so far. They’re just practice from tutorials that a lot of other students have done before me, but still fun.

  4. I’m deeply honored to be among your nominees. I’m currently in the process of preparing my acceptance post. Since I’ll be providing a link to your blog, I’d be delighted to include a sentence or 2 about your blog (something to motivate others to take a peak at it if they haven’t done so already). Or, better yet, maybe some of your followers would like to be quoted as to why they’re followers.

  5. Hey, thanks! You can always take some sentences from my ‘About the author’ page, I think it still sums up what I’m trying to do with this blog pretty well, nearly three years in. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable asking my followers why they like me. 😉
