Three friends of mine have been in India and bought me a present. I got a small statue of Ganesh or Ganesha, the Hindu Elephant-Deity. I of course had to find out more about this god and what I found is very interesting and matches me in many ways.

Sat Nam
Today my yoga teacher talked about Sat Nam, an interesting topic which makes me understand why she calls her website Truth is your identity.
Wikipedia says this about Sat Nam:

Twitterfox marries Twitter and Firefox
I have been a rather reluctant user of Twitter because I could not find a tool that was easy enough to use. Twitter itself is so so, I wanted something easier. Along came TwitterFox which is a Firefox extension that notifies you of your friends’ status messages on Twitter.

Finding Your Howl

Lightworker
When I woke up today I had two words spinning in my head. The first one, ochoa, is Basque and means wolf. That does not ring any bell so I guess it was not important after all. The other word was lightworker which I had to look up. At Wikipedia it says that:
Lightworkers are people [...]
