About Me

Rome, Lazio, Italy
Hello All! This is a blog for everyone to follow what I'm up to throughout my time here in Rome. Here you'll not only be able to visit along with me as I adventure around Europe but also follow me as I learn more about Italy, other cultures and myself. Hopefully it will make you all feel like I never even left - but don't hesitate to write me!
I've got some of my photos in the slideshow on the top right sidebar but go to my facebook to see all of them!
Oh and this background is composed of pictures I took myself!

Random Thoughts

So a couple days ago, we hit the 500th view on this blog, that's kind of cool. I've only written 16 posts since I created this thing a month ago today. So average views per post is whatever your math tells you it is. And no, haterade drinkers, it doesn't tally my views as a view count so don't accuse me of driving up the number. As of right now, it's at 550 which led me to think about some stuff.

  • How many of those 550 have GoogleTranslated the title "Andiamo a Roma" and gotten the result "We go to Rome"? How many of you are confused by that. Let's settle this now. GoogleTranslate is dumb. It means "Let's go to Rome." Turns out it is that easy for our teachers to know when we use it. Darn.
    • It won't stop you.
  • I wish I could get paid to do this.
    • Turns out I can, more news to follow ;)
      • Sorry all fans of the former Punk-Rock Mike, but I guess this means I'm selling out...
  • How many of you have read this every so often and feel like you still know me well but have not talked to me directly. I don't know who reads this, it only tells me your OS and country. So yes, person using a Mac in Singapore, I'd love to know who you are. Anyways, to those who apply to this comment, chances are I most likely miss you and would love to hear from you. Drop me a line if you would.
    •  On a related thought. Anyone want to tell me what a Linux is, because apparently they represent 2% of my views and I have no clue what that is.
    • I also wasn't aware that I had friends in Canada, cool, eh?
  • Don't just read it and X out (or whatever you Mac-people's equivalent is). I know you're doing this to avoid paying attention in lecture hall so why don't you waste some more time and leave me a comment about the post, that'd be cool
  • Oh, and in case you really can't get enough of me, follow me on Twitter @MickCianfick , I've got some good things to say, tweet tweet.
  • Big A and LaGow show tomorrow (Thursday) night at 6:00 on WMUC radio. Go to wmuc.umd.edu and click listen live to hear it, you might just hear me call in again.

    hahaha linux is just another OS liek windows or mac, but just not as popular. I think the name linux is is cooler though.

    Thanks for the insight, Mikey. I have to agree with you, whatever a Linux is, I want it. It sounds more like an exotic animal than an OS, but I guess Mozilla, Droid or Safari also sound exotic..maybe that's the key to a popular OS or browser? Let's come up with our own!
