I have grown a beard!  I really like my new look.  There are many things to get used to, the look being a big one.

I think there is a slight difference in the way someone treats someone with and without a beard.  I could be imagining things, but I feel more confident.  People respond with more respect or something.  I can’t put my finger on it exactly.

I haven’t used a hair brush in a long time.  But I have found that a boar hair brush works wonders for a beard.  The hairs line up, and everything seems in place after I brush my beard.  Plus it feels great!  So stimulating.

A neckline is a difficult, and on-going chore.  The beginning was the hardest part.  Trying to  a carve a neckline that is symmetrical and the proper shape was not easy for a beginner.  And as the beard grows, the edges become rough, I have to trim it again and again.  I didn’t expect that bit to be so much, maintenance wise.  I assumed all I had to do was shave my neck.

I’ll post pictures soon.  For now I believe my Google+ profile has a public picture.

For those of you that read via RSS, or who haven’t been here lately, you’ll notice a new feature on the left side bar, below my mp3 recordings.

This is the WordPress Flickr plug-in, and links to my recently-uploaded flickr photos.  I decided to get back into my photography hobby.  I’ll be joining the local photography club soon, and should be updating my flickr page with new photos once or twice a month.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, click on one of the photos, and browse my photo stream.

If you’re paying attention you’ll notice a couple of new features to my blog.  I’ve added some content from other websites I have something to do with.

On the right nav bar, you’ll find my Google Reader Shared Items as always, but below that is something new: my Twitter feed.  I post to Twitter somewhat regularly, about various things.  My twitter home page is here.

On the left nav bar, all the way at the bottom, you’ll see a box.net file sharing widget.  I’ve placed a few mp3s I’ve recorded over the years in a box.net account to share here.  I’m not quite sure I understand how to fully customize this widget.  I wish I could order the items properly.  But for now, we’re left with Box’s haphazard method.  It’s not alphabetical, or by date.  I don’t understand.  Oh well.

For someone that doesn’t like cable tv, I sure seem to blog a lot about it.
