Welcome to my personal home page!
If you are what you do, this is who I am.
It's also my own personal resource for all things web-related.
So, apparently, I'm all about work, school, friends, family and politics.
I listen to music and watch TV too (a lot) but not so much on the computer.
Friends and Family
To keep in touch with friends and family on the web, I use email, MSN Messenger and social networking sites. I started with MySpace to keep in touch with a few people. Then, of course, Facebook became the defacto standard for social network, so I use that, too.
Still, my personal preference is Windows Live!.
School
School Blog
I started taking classes at the local community college to become a Texas teacher. I'm blogging about it on "Windows Live!" at http://sxkaufman74.spaces.live.com.
Work
Work Blog
To make money while I'm studying to be a teacher, I'm working for the local school district for minimum wage as a Substitute Teacher's Assistant. I'm blogging about it on "Windows Live!" at http://sanderskaufman.spaces.live.com.
Product Reviews
I've been writing ad-hoc product reviews for Epinions.com for several years. It's a great way to hone or bone up descriptive writing skills.
Politics
Usenet
For a no-holds-barred, free-for-all discussion with no rules and virtually guaranteed anonymity, nothing beats usenet. That's its strength as well as it's weakness - as it's also a haven for terrorists, pedophiles and other criminals. Still, its anonymity breeds openness - which is a necessity in any honest, rational discussion.
I use TeraNews.com as my Usenet provider because they're the cheapest, they carry over 70,000 newsgroups, and they haven't let me down yet. I participate primarily in DFW.Politics for local discussions, TX.Politics for state-wide issues, and US.Politics for national and international issues. I also participate some in Alt.PHP about the PHP web development language.
Political Blog
As a true news junkie, sometimes I just want to pontificate about stuff. To that end, I setup a political blog at The Houston Chronicle's web site called "Bucky's Chron Blog".
