| {web} Life in links | ||
Ponder the statement
for a while. What do I mean by that? These links sum up (my?) life on the
web - only a small (kept under strict control...) part of life - some are
services to be used, some are simply sites that deserve our support; other
are simply good "Internet causes". Use them; explore them. Don't worry. You
could never be summed up by this page.
