How Google made me present!
Some months ago, when Google transferred all feeds from feedproxy.google.com to feeds2.feedburner.com, they changed RSS and atom feed address too. During that process I choose my feed address as refreshing, but there were also some Israel’s web page with same name on old feedburner’s service (feeds.feedburner.com).

Weekend trip to Hansa-city Bremen
How it all began? So we, me and Roland, decided to use that moment when the days of cheap airfares and go to Bremen to enjoy last autumn days. The flight went smoothly and already in Bremen, we decided that weather is too good to go with public transport and went on foot, enjoying the Bremen office and later residential areas. First, we wanted to go to Hostel, but because we did not have a city map, we went to the center of Bremen. First we saw a bridge over Weser river with small market under bridge. There was able to buy clothes, shoes, lamps, of unknown origin discs, toys and everything that in the home can be found. Next to the main square, on Saturday morning in full swing at the beautiful St. Petri church was another market…

Social activism! NGO and blogging in Latvia
With all Internet development in Latvia, some days ago I trough about meaning of “social activism”. If it would be connected with Internet, we could say it means to post comments on blogs and about happenings around (for example, in news). It become more easier when You have Your own blog (in Latvia, for example, free blog service on nee.lv for artists eArt.lv). In that case people can spread their attitude and/or opinion. It can be done alone or cooperating, for example, get involved in some non-governmental organization (NGO), like creative group MYSTYLe art or some other. In Internet it`s like separated community.
