First off 'Thank You' for your part in designing 'Connections', I've used it for many blog design starters. Great design on both your and Sadish's account!

I have known a couple of people who are also synesthetic - but who didn't refer to themselves with that word. They called themselves 'color sensitive'. So, I guess they were. Neither were artists. One was a math whiz and the other was a physicist. For me, MATH is a 4-letter word! You know, in the category of the 4-letter words mom said 'never to say'!

I have two blogs right now but with my two jobs I hardly have time to update my blogs. How do you maintain a steady flow of ideas for you blogs? Where do you get the inspiration? I’m very particular with originality. So, I always make sure that I’d rather write nothing than copy and paste. I think you’re a genius!

I feel like a total slacker now -- I don’t even really keep one up, though it’s mostly because I can never completely make up my mind as to what I really want to blog about. I suppose I could take the route of putting up several, but then that leaves me with my earlier statement -- I’m a bit of a slacker. And I’m certainly not capable of keeping a blog up in a language other than English, though I imagine it would do wonders for my French or Russian if I would. And though this site hasn’t yet been developed, I would imagine, based on reading your others, and seeing the design you’ve already got started, that this will be worth reading as well. Have you given any thought yet to what your focus will be? Wow, six blogs going?
