Melting down into 2011

The snow now is rapidly melting and turning into fog, which suits me just fine. We had a white christmas (and a whole lot of other white days), and the ice on the roads kinda took the magic from it. This wonderful 2010 is now almost over; a year in …

Living in interesting times

Today this weblog, dammIT turned seven years old. Combined with it being nearly the end of 2010, you might say it's a good moment for some reflections of the past year. 2010 was a year which brought changes, brought endings, brought new beginnings. We managed to get married before I …
