Been away from blogging for quite a while. Social media or micro-blogging, in other words Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, and Google Plus have taken up most of the time I used to devote to blogging. The fact is that I'm a busy guy and blogging takes time. As opposed to writing a long form blog post, it has become so much easier to simply post status updates and exchange small elements of content such as short sentences, individual images, or video links from my mobile devices (iPad and iPhone).

Well anyway, here's how to reach me on the multiple social networks. Keep in mind that you will probably need to have an account on the particular service, and to see my content will also have to request becoming my friend on the social network.

This past August 2010 my family and I visited the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean’s second-largest country, for two weeks on vacation. We spent the first week at a resort relaxing and the second week traveling around the countryside. One of the highlights of the first week was attending a beautiful wedding on the beach at Punta Cana. The second week was spent trekking through the north, south, and eastern regions, including the cities of Bani, Azua, Haina, San Cristobal, Samana, Barahona, Punta Cana, and the capitol, Santo Domingo. We saw valleys, mountains, beaches, cities. It's a beautiful country. Here are the photos from our vacation:
