Why I Still Subsribe to the Print Newspaper
By Laura Thomas, ABC | March 29th, 2008
Every morning as I’m heading out the door to work, I quickly grab a strange non-electronic information transmitter from my front driveway and carry it with me to the office. It’s my local newspaper, the Austin American-Statesman. Why do I insist on subscribing to the paper even though my husband thinks it’s a […]
Look Ma! I’m Blogging in Chinese!

I’ve been microblogging over at Twitter (as LPT) for about a year now, and guest blogging on Direct2Dell since it was launched, but have never actually gotten around to creating my own, personal blog.
