I am a communicator, which is why I like echonets. I wrote songs for a 
while, but now I write on the blog. Since I started recording it as
a podcast, though, it takes a big longer to produce, so instead of
several times a week, I publish once ever week or week and a half.

Well I've succeeded! I've managed to repurpose SEVERAL things that 
before would have been tossed to e-cycling. I've even started setting
up some Linux machines.

What does it do?
