Where has the time gone?

I can't believe the last posting on this blog was May 2. I think about my Algerian friends and experiences almost every day and yet I seem to have trouble finding the time to post, even though I have so many ideas that I could quickly jot down. That's both the beauty and challenge of this medium. You have to keep posting to keep the venture alive and that takes some time. But, I need to remember that blogging doesn't need to be very formal or take very long ... just a quick way to stay in touch.

One of the Algerian blogs that was born as a result of of our trip was Karima B's Lamerose. Karima has embraced blogging and truly understands this medium and has been posting faithfully on her blog since April. She has been doing a wonderful job of capturing the richness and complexity of her world in Lamerose. I read this blog and its associated comments often (using the Google Translate tool makes language barriers melt away) and applaud Karima for creating a dialogue. So, I am going to take Karima's lead and try to post more observations about technology in this space and use this little part of the online world to stay in touch with Algerian friends.
