    I finally got my own Web site up and working: www.bobkovacs.com. I plan to keep adding to it and making it look better, since it's rather plain at the moment. However, I'm now on the Web!

    I saw Paul McCartney in concert over the weekend and he was fantastic. I reviewed the concert here on Viewpoints, which you can read here: http://www.viewpoints.com/Paul-McCartney-review-e89e0

    If you get a chance to see McCartney, go. It's worth it.

    I found Captain Corelli's Mandolin on an HD channel and saved it for a rainy day. Yesterday was that day.

    Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a WWII love story, set on an off-the-beaten-path Greek island called Cephalonia. Dr. Iannis (John Hurt) is the physician on the island and his pretty daughter Pelagia (Penelope Cruz) studies medicine with him. It is 1940 and war is starting to swirl around Cephalonia. Pelagia's boyfriend Mandras (Christian Bale) soon becomes her fiance and goes off to war in Albania.

    When Mandras is gone, Italian soldiers land on Cephalonia and take over. However, these Italian...

    Great start, Bob! Good luck to you.

    In response to bkovacs's comment from Nov 11, 2009:

    Thanks, Bob! I really have nothing to offer people other than my musings and opinions, so I just bought a custom domain name and I have a blog on Blogger.com. It's pretty easy, but very rudimentary, and it couldn't be used for something like you need.

    I reviewed this: http://www.viewpoints.com/StatCounter-review-deb90

    Which may be of interest to you. Also, if you haven't submitted your site to Google for indexing, I know how to do that, too. Just thought I'd give you some of my very limited knowledge of things in case you need anything like that. =)

    That's a pretty good start for a website! I think all sites are works-in-progress. That's a nice picture on there.
