Additional Blog

So, I've set myself up a new blog: Commonplace Book. I created this for two (unordered reasons):

• I'd like to keep the focus of Život v Cizine here on life abroad, and so I needed somewhere else to put my more miscellaneous postings.
• I was worried that my webgeekstress credentials were being eroded by my time spent teaching English. So, setting up a WordPress blog, which is really so much geekier than blogger.com (which powers this blog), seemed like a good move. I like WordPress quite a bit: it's much more powerful and flexible than blogger, and I may end up moving this blog over as well.

The new blog is lightly populated with some of the miscellaneous postings that had appeared here. It remains to be seen if I'll be more dedicated to keeping that one up to date.

Prague's Goldilocks Rating

Well, Prague has achieved a "just right" on my Goldilocks comfort scale (cf my post Next Stop: Prague). I've found that not speaking the language goes a long ways towards determining the Goldilocks rating. At any rate, I've decided to settle here, at least for a year or so.

In honor of my decision, I've rebaptized my blog, giving it a Czech name. According to my preceptress (thanks, Alena!), Život v Cizine means "Life Abroad".
